What do the different CV states suggest?

The applicant has not verified their email address yet. In this state, applicants cannot submit applications for jobs with internal ATS.

Note: You can also carry out user verifications in the backend. Find more information in our article "How can I verify a user?".

A CV is “verified” if the user verification has been completed. The user verification is a requirement to obtain the states “incomplete”, “visible”, or “hidden”.

Please note that the state “verified” has a slightly different meaning:

The requirements to obtain this state are:

• The user has been created in the backend
• No information has been submitted yet.

If the user has been created in the frontend, but the basic information has not been submitted, the status would be “Incomplete”.

In order that a CV obtains the state “incomplete”, the email address has to be verified. 

Basic information (mandatory fields of the field collections “Personal Information” and “Job Preferences”) is not filled out yet.

In this state, applicants cannot submit applications for jobs with internal ATS.

The CV is visible to employers, provided that the CV search is enabled on the job board.

In order that a CV obtains the state “visible”, following requirements need to be fulfilled:

• The email address has been verified
• Basic information has been filled out 

Find additional information here: When does a recruiter gain access to an applicant's CV?

The CV is not visible to employers. Only employers that receive applications from the applicant can view the CV.  

In order that a CV obtains the state “hidden”, following requirements need to be fulfilled:

• The email address has been verified
• Basic information has been filled out 
• The switch on the CV has been actively set to “off”.
