After Applying

• I have applied for a job, what is the next step?

  Once you have successfully applied for a job, the recruiter will be contacted and will go through your application as well as you InQuick CV.

   

   

  If the business is happy to employ you the recruiter may shortlist your application and you will be notified automatically. If the business declines, you can see this in your profile in the "Applied Jobs" section. It will be labelled "Not selected".

   

  In the "Applied Jobs" section you can always check the status of your application. If you have been shortlisted but have not yet received a message from the recruiter, it is a good idea to contact the recruiter yourself asking for additional information. This way you can also schedule an interview. Doing this will also demonstrate that your serious about the position!

• I have been “Shortlisted”, what does that mean?

  When a recruiter believes you are a good fit for the job, they will shortlist you.

   

  We will notify you instantly if your application has been shortlisted. 

• What to do once being shortlisted?

  Being shortlisted is great news!! This means you have a good chance of getting the position.

   

  We recommend you get in contact with the company as soon as you have been shortlisted.

• What is “response time”?

  Response time is the average time one takes to respond to enquiries and messages, for both recruiters and job seekers.

   

  If you reply to messages from recruiters quickly your response time will be low, this is the same for recruiters answering job seekers.

   

  If a company sees that you have a low response time, you will not miss any opportunity, more likely getting shortlisted and being invited for an interview.

   

   

• Why haven't I heard back from the job I applied too?

  Employers get so many applications for their job offer that they sometimes cant reply to all. This means they probably haven't had the time to look over your application.

  
  

  If you are really interested in the job you can try contacting threw our messenger. This will also show your seriousness about your interest in the job offer!! 

• I applied by accident to a job what should i do?

  Once you have applied to a job this cant be undone.

  What you can do is send a message to the employer that you applied by mistake. 

  If you don't do this don't worry, if they contact you about the job just tell them you'r not interested or that it was a mistake. 

• Talking to recruiters
