In the hiring process, people who have expressed interest and formally applied for a job are frequently referred to as “applicants.” After applying, a person is added to the applicant pool, which includes all candidates who are being considered for the position. The candidate pool fills in as the beginning stage for the enrolment and choice cycle, where businesses audit applications, direct meetings, and assess competitors’ capabilities and appropriateness for the job.
It is essential to keep in mind that not all applicants may meet the job’s requirements or qualifications. To select the most qualified candidates for further consideration, employers typically screen applicants based on their qualifications, experience, skills, and other relevant criteria. Throughout the hiring process, individuals who have formally applied for a position and are being considered for employment are referred to as “applicants.”
