What do I do if an application email is returned?

When you apply for a job via reed.co.uk, the recruiter has access to your CV and other details in two ways:

  • The recruiter receives an email alerting them to your application. If you get a "returned mail" email from the recruiter's email address, do not panic, they have received your application and can view your CV and details.
  • The recruiter's account gets updated with your application automatically, giving them access to your CV and Candidate Record through their account. It is then the responsibility of the recruiter to contact you.

If you are unsure about whether an application has been received, you should follow this up directly with the recruiter, whose contact details will be available in your Application History, in the my reed.co.uk section of the site.
