How long does the application review process take at Turing?

Last updated: June 9, 2026

After submitting a job application on Turing, it's natural to wonder when you'll hear back. Here's what you need to know about the review process and what to expect.

Review Timeline

There is no fixed review timeline. The process can vary depending on:

The specific role and its requirements
The volume of applications received
Client feedback and project flow

In general, the review process can range from 48 hours to up to 6 weeks from the time you complete all required application steps. Some project-based roles may see initial decisions sooner, but this is not guaranteed.

Will I Be Notified of the Outcome?

Due to the high volume of applications, only candidates selected to move forward will be contacted. If you do not hear back within the review timeframe after completing all application steps, this indicates that you were not selected for that position.

If you are selected for a client interview or if a new matching opportunity arises, you will be notified via email or WhatsApp.

Understanding Your Application Status

To check your application status, navigate to your dashboard's Applications page at https://work.turing.com/dashboard/applications where you can see the status on each job card. You can also go to the Submissions tab and click on your specific application to view its details.

Your application may show one of the following statuses:

Draft: Your application has been started but not yet submitted.
Application Submitted: Your application has been received and is being evaluated. This status does not confirm whether you passed or failed any specific test. If this status persists even after you've completed interviews, it means the client's decision is still pending and the application hasn't been closed yet.
Pending Review: At the Pending Review stage, no assessments are currently available. If you cannot access an assessment link while in this status, this is expected behavior—it means you have not yet been selected for the assessment stage. Assessment access is only granted if you are selected to move forward in the process.
In Review: Your application is currently being evaluated by the client for next steps.
Review is taking slightly longer: This message appears when your application is still in the In Review stage and the evaluation is ongoing, but taking more time than usual. Updates will appear directly on the job card in your dashboard. If there's no update by the end of the review window (up to 6 weeks), it typically means you were not selected for the role.
Shortlisted: Your application has passed the initial screening and you are now in the pool being considered for a client interview or match. This status indicates you are past the initial review stage and awaiting the next step. A week or more without communication after being shortlisted is still normal. No action is needed from you at this point — simply wait for further communication. If your application remains in Shortlisted status for more than 6 weeks with no update, it generally means you were not selected for that role.
Archived: Your application was not selected to move forward, or the client has paused or filled the position. Applications that were previously shortlisted but not ultimately selected will move to this status.
Selected for Job: The client has made a final selection.

Note: Depending on the position, there may not be any tests or assessments required as part of the application process.

An application remaining in "Pending Review" or "In Review" for an extended period typically means the review is still ongoing or that you were not selected to move forward. If your application has been in "Pending Review" status for more than 6 weeks, confirm the job titles and submission dates and reach out to Turing support for further investigation. Otherwise, no action is required from your side while your application is under review.

Can I request a reassessment? Immediate reassessment requests after a first evaluation are not available. However, your profile remains in the system, and the Matching Team and AI engine continue searching for opportunities that align with your skills and experience.

Who Makes the Final Decision?

The final decision to select a candidate rests solely with the client. Turing's Matching team and AI engine work continuously to identify opportunities that align with your skills and experience.

Where Can I Find Applications I Wasn't Selected For?

Applications for roles you were not selected for—including those that were previously shortlisted—will appear in the Archived section under the Jobs page on your dashboard. If a job application disappears from your submitted section, it means the job has been archived. Jobs are archived when the client either pauses the job or has already filled it with other candidates.

What Can I Do While Waiting?

Continue applying to other relevant roles on the platform to maximize your opportunities.
Keep your profile up to date with your latest skills, experience, and certifications.
Check your Applications dashboard's Submitted tab regularly for any "Pending steps" or additional tests that may require action. Monitor your email and WhatsApp for next-step instructions if you are selected to move forward.
If you've been shortlisted for a role and it exceeds 6 weeks with no update, continue applying to other matching roles to increase your chances.
