A company’s hiring process is built from steps. Some need something from you, some don’t. Your application’s Process tab shows the current step in full. Steps after it stay marked Upcoming until you reach them. See Track your applications.

Questionnaire

A short set of questions from the hiring team: single-line answers, longer written answers, numbers, or multiple choice. Answer everything and click Submit. You can’t go back and edit an answer once you’ve sent it.
A company can mark a question as a requirement and set the step to reject applications that don’t meet it. Then your application can end as soon as you submit, before anyone looks at it. The screen still shows Submitted, the same as for everyone else. If it happens, you get an email from the company and your application’s stage changes to Rejected.

File upload

Drop a file, or click to browse. The step tells you how many files you can add and how many slots you have left. The company decides which file types it accepts, and each file can be up to 25 MB.

AI interview

A short interview you do on your own, by chat, voice or video. See AI interviews.

Interview

A scheduled call with someone from the hiring team. See Book an interview.

Review and task steps

Some steps are internal: the hiring team reviewing your application, or doing something on their side. You only see one if the company chooses to show it, and there’s nothing for you to do. It never shows a result.

Message steps

Sometimes a step in the process is the hiring team sending you a message: an update, instructions, or a request. It looks like any other message in your thread. See Messages.

When you’ll hear about a step

You’re emailed as soon as a step needs something from you: a questionnaire, an upload or an AI interview. For an interview with the team, you’re emailed once it’s scheduled or when you can pick a time.

Common questions

No. Submitting closes the form and replaces it with your answers, read-only.
No. Review and task steps never show a result, even once they’re complete.
Not every candidate goes through the same steps. Some steps only apply to people who applied, and others only to people a recruiter found. Steps that don’t apply to you don’t appear.
