After applying

What to expect

You should receive an email from “My Workday UW (uw@myworkday.com)” confirming we received your application. If you use spam or junk mail filters on your email account, make sure that you add “uw@myworkday.com” to your “safe senders” list.

To check the status of your application, log into your account and select the Candidate Home tab. From here you can also find the Job Requisition number (REQ-0000#######), review the job posting and the date you applied, and view or withdraw your application.

No longer interested in being considered for the position? You can sign into your account and, from the Candidate Home tab, select the Actions option next to your application (it looks like three little dots) and the select Withdraw Application.

My Application Status guide:

• In Progress: Your application has been received and University of Washington Human Resources (UWHR) is reviewing your resume for minimum qualifications and eligibility.
• Sent to dept: UWHR has reviewed your resume and sent it to the department’s hiring manager. The department will select the most qualified candidates for interviews and may contact you via phone or email. The information in your candidate profile will be used to contact you, so be sure to keep your information up to date.
• Not selected: You were not selected for this position. This status can occur at any time after application – during UWHR review or during hiring manager review.
• Withdrew: You asked to be removed from consideration for the position.
• Recruitment Canceled: Recruitment was canceled by the department, so the position will not be filled.

The total time it takes to fill any position varies. UWHR’s recruitment teams review applications to help identify candidates for each position. Hiring departments only contact the most competitive candidates to interview.

Have questions about the status of your application?

Our team can only help candidates navigate the application submission process. We do not have access to information about individual hiring decisions and do not have any additional information about the status of an application – our team sees the same information as you do. Decisions about the selection process and updates to the status of an application are made directly by the hiring department.
