First reply would be the acknowledgement they got the application. Second one means they have got enough people to interview or the vacancy is filled. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second one means they have got enough people to interview or the vacancy is filled. And there's no indication of how close to the deadline the application was made. With computerised application processes, assessment of applications is an ongoing activity, rather than waiting until the deadline has passed. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steamport Southport Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 If anyone has had a spell looking for a job over the last few years you'll know you get about fifty of those a week. If the recruiter can be ars%d bothering to reply.... It's just the way the jobs market is nowadays. Everything is short term contracts or you want to move on to something else for more or better hours. When something good does come up you get thousands of people applying for it as they are all on Indeed! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I work in IT where almost all applications never get beyond a HR department who have no idea who is suitable for the job, but only look at certifications and age/sex (even though they are not supposed to do that in Denmark). I have been headhunted to the last two jobs I have. Never talked to a HR robot, just to the IT chef who wanted to hire me. On both occasions when I actually got to see the job advert for the post I had just be asked to take, I could see that I would never have had a chance of even getting to an interview, if I had applied for the job, 10 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
