When you submit an application through the Traba platform, it goes into a “Pending Review” status.
This means the recruitment team is still reviewing applications and deciding, with the business, when and how many workers they will need for future shifts. Please note: it is normal for applications to remain in this status for an extended period of time, as the business may not immediately confirm its hiring needs.
If your application is accepted, you may receive a congratulatory message. However, this does not mean you have been automatically added to a shift. An approved application only means you are now eligible to be considered for available shifts when the business posts them.
Here’s what’s important to remember:
Your obligations – You are only required to attend shifts that are confirmed and appear on your Traba calendar. If a shift is not in your calendar, you are not expected to attend.
How scheduling works – Once the business posts new shifts, Traba will send out invitations to eligible workers. If there are open slots available, you will receive an invitation and can choose to accept and confirm directly in the app.
Timeframe – There is no fixed timeline for when applications are reviewed or when new shifts are posted. This depends entirely on the business’s staffing needs and your eligibility for those roles.
In short, applying does not guarantee placement in a shift. The only shifts you need to attend are those confirmed in your Traba calendar. Invitations will be sent as soon as businesses release future openings.
We appreciate your patience during this process and encourage you to keep an eye on your calendar and notifications for updates on available shifts.
