Application statuses

For applications you sent through Rostrium Jobs, the status comes from the agency:
- Applied: the agency received your application.
- Under review: the recruiter is screening candidates.
- Shortlisted: the recruiter has put you forward to the hiring company.
- Interview: you are in an interview stage or have an offer discussion.
- Closed: the process ended. This covers both a hire and a decision not to go ahead.

Only a person at the agency changes your status. It is never changed by software, and Rostrium never decides who is selected or rejected. You are emailed when it changes. Recruiters are busy, so a status can stay the same for a while. If it has been a long time, contacting the agency directly is reasonable.

For jobs you applied to elsewhere, you set the status yourself in your tracker.
