How to Apply for the Position

This guide is for candidates applying through a company's careers page, and for the recruiters who help them. Candidates don't need a Plumm account.

What It Is and Who It Is For

When a company uses Plumm Hire, its jobs appear on its careers page and on job boards. Candidates apply through a short online form. Their application goes straight to the hiring team.

Recruiters can share this article with candidates who have questions about applying.

Prerequisites

Candidate: Apply for a Job

  1. Open the company's careers page and click Browse all jobs, or open the job link you were sent.
  2. Read the job description, then click Apply for this job.
  3. Upload your CV. Plumm reads it and fills in the form where it can. Check every field.

    • First Name, Last Name, Email and phone
    • Headline, address, city and country
    • Education, Years of Experience, Certifications, Skills and Languages
    • Current Salary, Expected Salary and Notice Period (in Days)
    • A URL (for example a portfolio or LinkedIn profile) and a Cover Letter
    • The company's own questions
  5. Agree to the privacy and consent statement.
  6. Click Submit.

If something required is missing, the field shows Required Field.

After You Apply

  • You'll get a confirmation email, if the company has switched it on.
  • You may be taken to a page the company has chosen.
  • The hiring team reviews your application and contacts you by email, for example to invite you to a screening or interview.

Limitations

  • You can't edit an application after you submit it. Contact the hiring team if something needs changing.
  • Each job asks for its own set of fields.

FAQs and Troubleshooting

Do I Need an Account to Apply? No.

I Didn't Get a Confirmation Email. What Should I Do? Check your spam folder. Not every company sends one. If you're unsure, contact the company.

Why Can't I Submit My Application? A required field is empty. Look for Required Field under a field.

Can I Apply for More Than One Job? Yes. Apply to each job separately.

What Happens to My Data? The company stores it in Plumm for its recruitment and may delete it after a set period. See the company's privacy notice.
