# Did my job application go through?

How to tell whether an application on a company's careers page arrived: the confirmation email, where to look when it doesn't come, and how Workday, Oracle Cloud, Greenhouse and SmartRecruiters show your status. 24 October 2026.

**The short answer.** Look for the company's confirmation email. On most careers pages it
comes within a minute: for JobsEye's applications, 88% got one, a median of 5 seconds after
sending, and 9 in 10 of those within a minute. If none came, check spam and promotions, then
the employer's candidate page. If the application isn't there either, it didn't go in.

## Where to check, in order

1. **Your inbox, spam and promotions,** for the company's name and the role title. On
   Workday, the email often comes from the employer's own Workday address.
2. **The employer's candidate page.**
   - **Workday:** sign in on that employer's careers site; "My Applications" on the candidate
     home lists every application to that company.
   - **Oracle Cloud:** sign in with your email; a returning candidate gets a one-time code in
     their own inbox.
   - **Greenhouse and SmartRecruiters:** there is usually no account; the confirmation email
     is the record.
3. **The form itself.** A page that ended on an error, or a required question left blank,
   means the application wasn't submitted.

## Why an application doesn't go through

- A required field was empty, or a file failed to upload.
- An email or code check was never completed (Workday account verification, Oracle's
  one-time code).
- The role closed while you were filling it in.

## How JobsEye handles it

JobsEye applies on employers' own careers pages and shows each company's confirmation email
in your JobsEye inbox. If a form can't be finished, the application isn't charged: it goes
back to your balance.

## FAQ

**I got no email after applying. Did my application go through?**
Check spam, then the employer's candidate page. On Workday, if the role is listed under "My
Applications" on that company's site, it went in.

**How long does a confirmation email take?**
Usually under a minute. For JobsEye's applications the median was 5 seconds.

**Workday says I have already applied. What does that mean?**
That employer's Workday site already has an application from your account for that role. The
status is on its candidate home page.
