What happens after applying?

Once you have applied for a role you will be directed to "Your Application" page.

This page confirms that your application has been sent to the recruiter and displays the email address to which it has been sent. You may find it helpful to print this page for your records. You will receive an email from reed.co.uk confirming that your application has been sent. The confirmation email will also display the email address your application was sent to.

Please be aware that when you apply for any vacancies that are not being handled by Reed, your CV is forwarded to the organisation handling the vacancy directly.

The recruiter has access to your CV and other details in two ways:

• The recruiter receives an email alerting them to your application. If you get a "returned mail" email from the recruiter's email address, do not panic, they have received your application and can view your CV and details.
• The recruiter's account gets updated with your application automatically, giving them access to your CV and Candidate Record through their account. It is then the responsibility of the recruiter to contact you.

If you don't receive a confirmation email after applying you should:

• Check your e-mail address details are entered correctly on your registration page.
• To do this, sign in to your reed.co.uk account and click on "your homepage" and then visit "update your details".

If you are still unsure please check your spam filters on your email provider as they may be set to screen out unknown email addresses.

Add no-reply@reed.co.uk to your address book or safe list to ensure that any emails from us make it into your inbox.
