Duplicate Candidate Applications

There may be occasions where a candidate may apply for the same role on different days or different roles on the same day.

The system has checks in place to ensure duplicate applications are not created when an instance such as this occurs:

• Email address;
• Job applied for;
• Date;

A candidate can apply for a role as many times as they wish, as long as all of the above checks not applicable. For example:

• If a candidate wishes to apply for the same role with a different email address, the application will be successful.
• If a candidate wishes to apply for a different role on the same day but is using the same email address, the application will be successful.
• If a candidate attempts to apply for a role that they applied for 20 minutes ago with the same email address, the application will not be successful.

One a duplicate application is detected, a message will appear on the application for once a submission has been attempted which will look like this:

This banner will appear on the top left of the application form once a duplicate application has been attempted.
