It tracks the candidate&#8217;s progress through the hiring pipeline for that role, including stage history, interview results, and final disposition.<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-section\">\n<h2>How Applications Are Created<\/h2>\n<p>Applications in Zoho Recruit are created when a candidate applies through the career site, when a recruiter manually associates a candidate to a Job Opening, or when resume parsing pulls in a new applicant from a job board or email. Each application record is separate, meaning a single candidate can have multiple applications across different openings simultaneously.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-section\">\n<h2>Application Lifecycle<\/h2>\n<p>An application moves through defined pipeline stages from submission to final decision. At each stage, recruiters can log actions, schedule interviews, add feedback, and change the candidate status. The application is closed when the candidate is hired, withdrawn, or disqualified. Historical application data is retained on the candidate record for future reference.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-example-box\"><strong>Example:<\/strong> A candidate applies for both a Senior Accountant role and a Finance Manager role at the same company. Zoho Recruit creates two separate application records, each tracking progress independently through their respective pipelines.<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-related-pills\"><a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/candidate-zoho-recruit\/\" class=\"gt-related-pill sp-content-link\">Candidate<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/job-opening-zoho-recruit\/\" class=\"gt-related-pill sp-content-link\">Job Opening<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/hiring-pipeline-zoho-recruit\/\" class=\"gt-related-pill sp-content-link\">Hiring Pipeline<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/pipeline-stage-zoho-recruit\/\" class=\"gt-related-pill sp-content-link\">Pipeline Stage<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-section\">\n<h2>Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n<div class=\"gt-faq-item\"><strong>What is an Application in Zoho Recruit?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>An Application in Zoho Recruit is the record linking a Candidate to a specific Job Opening.
