Applying for a job

Sending, tracking, updating and withdrawing applications.

  1. How do I apply for a job? Open a listing, press Apply, sign in with your email and send your CV with a short note. It takes about a minute, and every application is kept under My applications.
  2. Do I need a CV, and what should my cover note say? Most listings ask for a CV as a PDF, DOC or DOCX file up to 5 MB. No CV? Build one free. A short note about why you fit gets read first.
  3. Why does a listing say 18+ only? The employer or our team marked the job for people aged 18 or over. Tick “I confirm I am 18 or older” before you apply. No ID is asked for.
  4. Can I apply to a listing that came from another site? Yes. Where the advert gives a working address, you apply here and we tell the employer. Your application page shows who was told and when.
  5. What happens after I apply? Your application lands in the employer’s inbox and they are emailed. You see when it is opened, and replies arrive by email and in your conversation.
  6. What does the employer see when I apply? Once they open your application, the employer sees your name, email, phone if you gave it, your note, your CV and your answers. Your fit score stays private.
  7. I cannot find my application Check you are signed in with the email you applied with, look under My applications, and search your mailbox for the receipt. What else can hide one.
  8. Can I update, correct or withdraw an application? Send an updated CV from the application page, write corrections in the conversation, or withdraw it. A withdrawn application can be put back while the vacancy is open.
  9. Nobody replied to my application. Is that normal? Common, and usually not about you: one opening can draw a hundred applications. What helps, how to see if it was opened, and when to move on.
  10. Can I ask the employer a question before applying? Yes: press Ask a question first on the listing. The question goes to the employer’s inbox and the answer comes back in a conversation on the site.
  11. The Apply button does not work or shows an error Fixes for the usual problems when applying: a CV the form will not take, the security check, the daily limit, an earlier application, or a closed listing.
  12. How do calls and interview invitations work? Once your application is open, you and the employer can call by voice or video from the conversation, and interview times are confirmed in one tap.
