Candidate consent and the status page
Every application records the candidate’s consent, and their own choices on the form: whether to save their profile, and whether to hear about new roles or get messages. Afterwards, they can request a secure link from your careers page to see their applications’ status, download their data and change their choices.
Choices on the apply form#
| Choice | What it means |
|---|---|
| Save my profile to make future applications faster | On unless they untick it. Unticked, everything they submit is erased automatically once this process ends. |
| Email me about new roles at {your company} | Job updates by email. Unticked unless they tick it. |
| Text and WhatsApp messages | Agreement to be contacted that way. Unticked unless they tick it. |
| Discoverable by other employers | Only when your workspace has Talent network on: their profile can be found by other employers hiring on OpenATS. Unticked unless they tick it. |
The status page#
Step 1: The candidate follows Application status and your data at the foot of your careers page.
Or Track your application status, right after applying.
Step 2: They enter their email and choose Email me a secure link.
The link lasts 14 days. The page never says whether an address is on file.
The page shows Your applications with a plain status for each (Application received, In review, Interviewing, Offer stage, Hired, Not selected or Closed), Your data, where they can request a copy, and Your preferences, where they can withdraw or give their consent to being discoverable by other employers.
