Understanding the Hiring Process: From Applied to Selected

Once you apply for a job, your application moves through a clear set of stages. Knowing what each one means helps you understand where you stand: Applied — Your application has been received by the company and is waiting to be reviewed. Under Review — A recruiter is actively going through your profile and resume. Shortlisted — You've been selected to move forward, usually to an interview round. Interview — An interview has been scheduled or completed, and a decision is pending. Selected — Congratulations, the company wants to move forward with an offer. Rejected or Withdrawn — Either the company decided not to proceed, or you withdrew your application. Every status change is logged, so you always have a clear history of your application. Keep your profile updated and check your dashboard regularly so you never miss a status update.
