Why have I had no response after applying?
No response after applying? LiveRec cannot say how long an employer will take; the employer sets the pace, and a status can stay the same for some time. A quiet application is not a rejection: if an employer decides against you, the status changes to Not selected. Check the status first, then use the steps below.
What does my status tell me?
| Status | What it means for waiting |
|---|---|
| Applied | The employer has your application and has not moved it yet |
| In review | They are looking at it |
| Interviewing | An interview is arranged or done. Check Messages and your calendar |
| Offered | An offer is waiting. See Accept, decline or counter an offer |
| Not selected | They will not go ahead with this application |
Open Jobs, then the tab for each status, to see all of your applications. See Application status.
What can I do while I wait?
- Check the job. If it closed, applications stop moving. See A job is closed or no longer available.
- Check your inbox and Messages. An employer may have asked for something, such as screening answers, a test or documents. See Take an assessment and Upload documents a recruiter requested.
- Send one message. From Messages you can send one message about an application before the employer replies. Keep it short: say you are interested and ask whether they need anything more.
- Strengthen your profile. Employers review your profile and résumé with the application. See Complete your profile.
- Keep applying. Your plan sets how many applications you can send; see Application limits. Express Interest and Priority apply, where your plan has them, can help a specific application stand out.
- Withdraw if you have moved on. See Withdraw an application.
Good to know
- Employers do not see where else you applied.
- If a status looks wrong, for example Not selected right after you were told you were moving on, open a ticket from Help & support with the job title and company.
