How do I withdraw an application?

Updated 8 October 2026

Changed your mind? You can withdraw an application at any time.

How to withdraw

  1. Open the application. Without an account, use the tracking link from your SMS (see how to track your application). With an account, go to My applications and open the job.
  2. Choose Withdraw.
  3. Pick a reason if you want to, and confirm.

On a new phone, you may first be asked for a code sent to your number. This keeps anyone else from withdrawing your application.

What happens next

  • Your application shows as Withdrawn.
  • The employer is told that you withdrew. They don't see your other applications.
  • Any open conversation for that application stays readable for your records.

Before you withdraw

  • If you're only worried because you haven't heard back, the tracking page shows how quickly this employer usually replies. After 21 days without a reply, it suggests either waiting or withdrawing.
  • If you've received an offer you don't want, you can also decline it from the offer itself. See offers.
  • If you withdraw because the employer asked you for money, please also report the job.
