An application is a submission from a specialist for your job opening. When a specialist sees a job opening and believes it is a good fit, they send an application along with their CV. For a company, this means the person is interested and ready for you to consider their candidacy.

An application is not synonymous with hiring. It is only the beginning of the process. After an application is submitted, the company reviews the CV, experience, skills, city, desired terms, and other information. The company may then proceed with the application, reject it, or wait for the next step within the platform's workflow.

It is best to process applications regularly. If you do not respond for a long time, the specialist may find another job or lose interest. Even if a candidate is not a good fit, making a thoughtful decision regarding the application makes the process clearer for both parties.
