What Is Application Under Review?

Application Under Review is a status meaning the employer has received your application and is still considering it. It usually sits between submission and a decision.

Why Application Under Review Matters

This status confirms your application is in the pipeline but has not yet reached a yes or no. There is little you need to do except wait and, after a reasonable period, send a polite follow up. Keep applying to other roles so one pending review does not stall your search.

Example

A week after applying, the portal updates from Submitted to Under Review. A recruiter is likely screening applications for that role, though it may still take time before you hear about an interview.
