I have applied for a Job at Zigsaw. Where can I check the status of my application?
  • After logging in Zigsaw, kindly goto View Application Status page (https://www.zigsaw.in/application_status) On this page your Application Status
  • Incase your Job-application is approved & your profile shortlisted, you can expect to hear back from the Employer OR the recruiter at Zigsaw shortly
  • Incase your Job-application is rejected, we try to provide reason of rejection of your Job-application in most cases. Most commo causes of rejection of Job-application are as below
    • Lack of relevant Skills/Experience: This is a typical reason when Your profile does not meet the educational OR experience qualifications required for this Job
    • The most prominent case of rejection happens because Job-seekers apply randomly on Jobs and without a clear understanding of the skills & experience required for any Job. Applying to random Jobs that do not match your skills reduces your credibility as a Job-seeker
    • Salary Expectations: Job market has grown very competitive in the last 3-4 years and sometimes unreasonable salary expectation wrt required skills/experience can cause your application to be rejected
    • Lack of sincerity: A lot of times Job-seekers do not show up for the interview or back out in the middle of the recruitment process. Sometimes applications can be rejected if the Recruiter thinks you are not sincere enough for the role.
    • The employer is not comfortable with Your earliest Join
    • The Recruiter did not find your answer to “Why do you think you are a good fit for this role” impressive
    • Interaction with the candidate: Sometimes although you check all points on a Recruiter checklist, the Recruiter does not find you suitable after an interaction with you.

We, at Zigsaw recommend you to apply more judiciously to the Jobs that are relevant to you & answer sincerely to the questions asked while applying for Jobs
