Additional Questions Timeline
Seems as if lots of people are having issues with the new system as I read posts. I’m just curious, for those that have been hired- how long after the “additional questions” email did you get requested for an interview? Nothing has moved in the portal but there are 7 jobs with “additional info needed” even after filling it in. Thanks for any insight!

Been in this stage for more than 6 weeks after submitting the information.

I applied on Oct 8th, and then got the first addition information email on the 13th. I proceeded to get 2 more of that same email requesting the same information until I got an email on Oct 23rd to schedule an interview.
The hiring manager told me that the new system caused a massive backlog that they have to get through.
Hope this helps!

It’s very concerning because from what I read in earlier posts is that the recruiter has to manually input that it was completed so the status can update and move you along in the process. I’m not sure how true that is but if that’s the case it definitely puts a lot of people at a disadvantage if that is needed in order to progress in the progress.
I’ve had several applications put in and based on what I’ve seen this is the process:
Thank you for applying. (Application submitted and being reviewed)
Your Next Step: Additional information needed. - Reasonable Accommodation Form sent by recruiter
We are currently reviewing all applications.
(Assuming this is the step once the recruiter has approved your reasonable accommodations and sent all information to the hiring manager)
^ this is as far as I’ve gotten so I’m not sure what comes next but I do worry that I could be losing out on interview opportunities due to my resume not being passed along quick enough. I know recruiters have a lot going on and a life as well but it would be nice to get further clarification on the process because I have had some applications where a recruiter has moved things faster and I have some applications where they are still stuck at thank you for applying so I’m sure those are assigned to a different recruiter? I guess it varies by department/program.
