How long does the application review process take at Turing?

Last updated: October 30, 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.

For certain application types, initial screening typically takes 3 to 5 business days to complete, with updates sent to your registered email address.

Evaluation timelines typically vary by role level:

Entry or early-career roles: 1 to 2 weeks
Mid-level roles: 2 to 3 weeks
Senior or specialized roles: 3 to 4+ weeks

Selection Process Stages

Once your application moves forward, the typical selection process includes the following stages:

Application review and shortlisting — Your application is evaluated against role requirements
Initial screening — May include a screening call or assessment if applicable to the role
Technical or role-specific interviews — Interview rounds to evaluate your skills and fit
Final evaluation — Final interview or panel discussion, followed by reference checks
Offer and onboarding — Offer extended and onboarding process begins

Important: Passing application review or being shortlisted does not guarantee an interview; interview scheduling happens only if you are selected to move forward.

An interview is typically required for all roles. If you are shortlisted, you will be contacted to schedule interviews. Offers are made only after interview evaluations and any required checks are complete.

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. If you are selected for a position, you will receive direct communication from onboarding@turing.com with next steps and offer details.

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.

The Applications page organizes your applications into three main sections:

Submitted Applications — Applications that have been successfully submitted and are currently under review
Draft — Applications that have been started but not yet submitted
Archived — Applications for which the candidate was not selected. Archived applications may display explanatory text such as "they moved on with another applicant," but some archived applications may show no text at all—both indicate the same outcome.

Within these sections, 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.
Awaits Next Step: Your submission has passed the initial screening and is pending review by the client or internal team. The review process typically takes between 48 hours and 6 weeks from completion.
Pending Review: At the Pending Review stage, no assessments are currently available. Applications in this status are typically reviewed within 7 to 10 business days from submission. 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. Additionally, some assessments are shared across multiple roles—if you completed a required assessment for a previous application, it may already be associated with your profile and no new assessment will be available.
In Review: Your application is currently being evaluated by the client for next steps. This status means you have not yet been selected to move forward. If there are any updates, you will be notified.
Review Complete: The review process has finished. Wait for notification if you are selected to proceed, or check your dashboard for status updates.
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 stage. This status indicates you are past the initial review stage and moving to the interview scheduling phase—it does not mean an interview has been scheduled or guaranteed, nor does it mean you have been selected for the job. No immediate action is required unless a pending step appears on your Applications dashboard. If you are selected for an interview, scheduling instructions will be sent separately by email or WhatsApp. A week or more without communication after being shortlisted is still normal. 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. Once final selection is made by the client, onboarding emails are typically sent 24 hours before your start date.
Archived: This status means the application or role is no longer active, but it does not confirm the specific reason. An archived application does not by itself indicate whether the role was closed, paused, filled, or whether you were not selected. If a role is still available in another posting and you are eligible, you may need to submit a new application through the platform.
If you see a green Passed checkmark on an archived application, this typically reflects an earlier stage you cleared, such as initial screening or an assessment. The final outcome is determined by the Archived status, which means you were not selected for the role.
If your application moves to Archived status immediately or within minutes after submission, this typically means the role is no longer active on the client side—the position may have been paused or already filled—and does not indicate a problem with your profile or qualifications.
Assessment Result Validity: Technical assessment results remain valid for up to 90 days. When you use the Resume Application feature within this 90-day window, the system will automatically reuse your previous assessment result instead of providing a new attempt at the assessment.
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 may have been archived. Archived status does not confirm the specific reason a role or application is no longer active—it may reflect several outcomes, including the role being paused, filled, closed, or the application not moving forward. Check open roles on the platform for other opportunities.

What if I receive a recruitment email for an archived application? If you receive a recruitment email for a position you've already applied to and that application is now archived, you cannot reapply to the same position. The system will prevent duplicate applications and display a message indicating you've already applied, directing you to check the application status in your dashboard. In this situation, your profile remains in the Talent Priority Pool, and you should explore other current opportunities at https://work.turing.com/jobs

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. If your application is Shortlisted, no action is needed unless a pending step appears; interview scheduling instructions, if applicable, will be sent by email or WhatsApp. Be sure to check your spam or junk folder in case notifications were filtered.
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.
If you accidentally close the AI interview window before starting it, contact Turing support to request a new interview link to restart it. However, if you accidentally close the interview after starting it, the interview cannot be reset or reopened—monitor your application dashboard for any further status updates instead.
