Submission status

Now all you can do is wait and see if you get shortlisted or not for the assessment. Below is a submission status ''dictionary'', so you know what each status mean:

Source: paddleyourownkanoo.com

• Application Received – You’ve submitted your application and it has passed the initial ATS screening.  It will now be shortlisted for review.

• Completed – Nothing else is going to happen to your application.  You have not been successful on this occasion.  In the past, this status sometimes showed when the applicant had been invited to attend an Open Day.

• Application Under Review – Your application is being reviewed by the recruitment team.  A recruiter will evaluate your resume, skills, photos and consider other factors to decide if your application should be progressed.

• Application in Progress – As above.

• Interview Complete – The recruitment team has simply marked on your file that you have been interviewed for the position.  There is no indication of when a final decision will be made but this status denotes that your file is open and the recruiter is actively considering you for the role.

• Application Unsuccessful – Unfortunately, you haven’t been successful on this occasion.  This status normally triggers an automatically generated email to inform you of the recruitment teams decision.

• Approval in Progress – Congratulations!  You’ve been conditionally offered the job.  This status means that the company now has to approve all of your paperwork and medical information.

• Joining Formalities in Progress – You’ve pretty much got the job!  Now the onboarding process starts.
