How to check your iCIMS application status
Log in to your profile on the employer's iCIMS career site and open your job seeker dashboard. iCIMS says the dashboard displays all positions you've applied to, along with the status of each one. If you have questions about a status, iCIMS says to contact the company you applied to, because iCIMS provides the software and the employer runs the hiring.
What the dashboard offers
- Status per job. Each application you've submitted shows with its current status.
- Continue Application. Next to jobs where your application is incomplete, an Actions column shows this button to resume where you left off.
- Withdraw. Next to jobs with a completed application you may see a Withdraw button, which removes your name from consideration.
iCIMS warns that, depending on how the career site is set up, the Actions column and its buttons may be labelled differently or may not be available at all. The status words are also the employer's, so iCIMS can't give you a universal list of what they mean. If you see a label that isn't obvious, ask the company.
Can't log in?
Click Log back in! at the top right of the career site. If you applied through a social account, log in the same way; the FAQ says up to four social login buttons may appear (Facebook, Google, LinkedIn, Microsoft). To reset a password, enter your username or email, then choose Reset your password and Send Email. If you don't know whether you have a profile, enter your email on the site to find out; see do you need an iCIMS account to apply.
Emails that never arrive
iCIMS says many email providers have stringent spam filters that can trap legitimate emails, including job application confirmations and interview invitations. Each company uses its own sending address, so if you've applied to several companies that use iCIMS you may need to approve each address. Two warnings from the FAQ:
- Selecting Unsubscribe from Mass Email Communications stops mass emails from that company, including notices about interviews and future considerations. iCIMS recommends against it.
- To stop text messages reply "stop" (or "opt out", "do not contact" or "delete me"); reply "join", "resubscribe" or "start" to resume.
Data requests
If you want your profile or application data deleted, iCIMS says the request must go to the company you applied to, because iCIMS is not authorized to update or delete applicant data in a company's database.
What to do if the status doesn't move
- Check the dashboard and your spam folder.
- Look at how long the posting has been open; old listings can be stale (ghost jobs by industry).
- Contact the recruiter or hiring manager; see when to follow up after a job application.
How Applier fits in
We fill in and submit iCIMS applications for you and lists each one in your dashboard, so you always have your own record of what was sent. Applications that can't be finished show as Failed. See how Applier works and auto-applying to iCIMS jobs.

AWSFrequently asked questions
Where do I check my iCIMS application status?
Log in to your profile on the employer's career site and open the job seeker dashboard, which iCIMS says shows all the positions you've applied to along with the status of each. For questions about a status, contact the company.
How do I withdraw an iCIMS application?
On career sites that offer it, a Withdraw button appears in the Actions column next to a completed application and removes your name from consideration. iCIMS notes the column may be labelled differently or missing.
Why am I not getting emails from a company that uses iCIMS?
iCIMS says spam filters can trap application confirmations and interview invitations, and each company sends from its own address. Check spam and approve the sender; avoid unsubscribing from mass emails, which includes interview notices.
