Understanding Application Review Status and Timelines

If you have submitted an application and are wondering about its status or when you can expect a response, this article outlines what to expect during the review process and how to get help.

Application Review Timeline

The review process can range from 48 hours to 6 weeks from the time you complete your application, depending on client feedback and the volume of applications received. During this period, check both your dashboard and your email inbox, including your spam folder, for updates.

If you have been shortlisted, note that one week is still within the normal waiting period for a final decision. Completing an assessment does not guarantee that a project will start immediately; while your application is still under review, you can continue browsing and applying to other opportunities at https://work.turing.com/jobs. Being shortlisted means you passed initial screening, but a final decision has not yet been made. If your status remains Shortlisted for more than 6 weeks without any update, this generally indicates that you were not selected for that role.

Due to the high volume of applications, not all candidates will receive a notification if they are not selected for the next steps. If you have not heard back within 6 weeks of completing your application, this typically indicates that you were not selected for the position.

Note that if your application status shows "Pending Review" during this 6-week period, this does not indicate rejection — applications can remain in pending status throughout the entire review process.

If your application status still shows "In Review" after 6 weeks, you can contact support to check on the status. When reaching out, provide your job title, the date you submitted your application, the test name, and the date you took the test to help expedite the inquiry. Support can investigate applications over 6 weeks old and, if you experienced technical issues during the test, can reset assessments for a reattempt. For general assessment retakes (not due to technical issues), accounts can be reset after a 90-day waiting period from your last attempt—contact support to request an account reset once this period has passed.

You can monitor your application status directly through your dashboard at https://work.turing.com/dashboard/applications If "Apply Now" links in job opportunity emails redirect to the homepage instead of your technical tests, you can access your applications directly by navigating to this URL, going to the Submissions tab, and clicking on your application. under Applications then Submissions. You do not need a confirmation email to monitor your application progress there. You should also watch your email inbox, including spam, for review-related updates. If your candidacy is not selected, your application status will be updated from "In Review" to reflect the final decision. If a submitted application is missing from your Applications dashboard, check the Archived Applications section under the Jobs page, where applications you were not selected for may appear.

If you received an email about an assessment but do not see one in your Submissions tab, this is expected behavior. You will be contacted if you are selected to proceed.

When checking your application status, you may see the following values:

• Pending Review — Your application and tests have been received and are under review; no decision has been made yet

• In Review — The review process is actively in progress

• Shortlisted — You have passed the initial screening, but this does not mean you have been finally selected for the role or that the hiring decision is complete. Note that a Job Interest Form is not automatically sent at this stage, and you will only receive an onboarding email once you are selected for a specific project.

• Selected for Job — The client has made a final decision to move forward with your candidacy.

Note: If you see Offer shown as pending after submission, this does not mean an offer has been made; check the Applications dashboard for the current application status and final outcome.

Note: Not all positions require assessments. If no assessment appears in your Submissions tab, the position may not have a testing requirement.
