It was a very long process. It was unorganized and messy.How applicants apply for jobs depends on the company, as well. Some companies use talent management software to accept applications for employment and to screen and select candidates to interview.​ In other cases, the job application process will require applicants to submit a resume and cover letter via email. Some employers still prefer that applicants apply in person. As part of the application process, candidates may be asked to take a talent assessment test to see if their background matches the company's requirements. Job applications and test results will be reviewed and selected candidates will be invited for a job interview.
