USAJOBS has made changes to what job seekers will now see when they are checking the status of applications. Job seekers will no longer see received, incomplete, referred, etc. 

The new job status notifications are: 

• Accepting Applications: This means job seekers may apply to a vacancy announcement posted on USAJOBS.
• Reviewing Applications: This means that Human Resources and hiring managers are reviewing applications and conducting interviews.
• Job Cancelled: This means the job is no longer being filled. 
• Hiring Complete: This means that job offers have been made to selected applicants.

What You Need to Do

Applicants can check the status of their application in USAJOBS by selecting “Track this Application,” which will take job seekers into their application record, where a copy of the submitted application and email notifications sent by HR users can be reviewed. Additionally, they will continue to receive emails from USA Staffing notifying them if they were found eligible, qualified, and if they were referred to the selecting officials.
