Every application on Luminid has visible stages, and you can see exactly where you stand at any moment on your applications page. Here is the path.
The stages
- Application received. Your application is in. The team sees your profile and your evidence next.
- Work simulation. If the role includes one, you complete a short work sample. It is scored against documented criteria at a fixed threshold, and you are told before it starts that scoring is automated.
- In review. The team reviews your work sample and profile. Nothing is needed from you.
- Interview. The team schedules a conversation with you. Watch your email for the invitation. Some roles have more than one interview stage.
- Background check. Some roles include the company's standard checks. Nothing is needed from you unless they contact you.
- Offer. The company prepares an offer. It appears on your timeline and in your email.
- Decision. When the team decides and shares it, the outcome shows on your application page.
Some roles check required skills at apply time or right after your simulation. If a required skill is not met, your timeline says so honestly instead of going silent.
The no ghosting commitment
A company can set a decision window, a number of days to a decision, counted from the last time your application moved, or from the end of a wait the team set for you, whichever is later. When it has, the window shows on your application page. If the hiring team goes quiet, Luminid can remind them and, if there is still no decision, close the application automatically and tell you which rule closed it. With a window, that is the company's window plus a 7 day grace. Without one, it is 21 days without movement, Luminid's own rule. A company can also have automatic close switched off. An automatic close means no decision was recorded in time. It is not a judgment of your work, and your application page says exactly that.
After a decision
If the answer is no, the decision includes the reason category, and when the team was looking for skills you have not verified yet, your timeline shows them with a direct path to practice them in the Skill Lab. Your verified skills stay with you for every future application. You can also withdraw an application yourself at any time.
