Your Taleo application status, decoded

Taleo (Oracle) only shows you a status on its 'My Submissions' page if the employer turned on candidate communications — and many never do, so you may see nothing beyond a confirmation. The only system-default labels are Draft, Completed, and Withdrawn; anything richer is custom to that employer.

Citation-ready answer

How do I read my Taleo application status?

Taleo (Oracle) only shows you a status on its 'My Submissions' page if the employer turned on candidate communications — and many never do, so you may see nothing beyond a confirmation. The only system-default labels are Draft, Completed, and Withdrawn; anything richer is custom to that employer. Application-status labels are configured by each employer, not the ATS vendor — the same label can mean different things at different companies, and many decisive steps never change the label at all. The recruiter's email is the real signal; the portal status is not.
