Hero Foundation: What happens after you apply — track your applications


You don't have to wonder

Once you've applied, you can track exactly where every application stands — and respond to messages from hiring managers — all in one place.

Where to check your applications

The Applications tab

Go to Applications in the main navigation. Every application you've submitted appears here with its current status — Applied, Shortlisted, or further stages as the employer moves you through their process.

Notifications

Status updates, shortlisting decisions, and employer actions appear in your Notifications (the bell icon in the top navigation). Check this regularly — especially if you've applied to multiple roles.

When you've been shortlisted, you'll see a notification like the ones below. Each one says "[Action Required] You've been shortlisted!" — these need your attention straight away.

The Notifications screen — shortlisting alerts appear here. Action Required means the employer wants to hear from you.

My Messages

Hiring managers can message you directly through the platform. Go to My Messages (the envelope icon) to see and reply to any conversations. You can also initiate contact with a hiring manager from your Applications tab.

Reply quickly. When a hiring manager messages you, reply as soon as you can. Fast responses signal that you're motivated and professional. Slow responses can cost you a shortlisting.

What the Hero Foundation team does next

After you apply, our team gets to work in the background. We:

  • Follow up with the employer directly and vouch for your application by name.
  • Check on the status of your application on your behalf.
  • Contact you if there's an update or if the employer has feedback.
  • Support you with interview preparation if you're shortlisted. Just reach out to us at HeroFoundation@employmenthero.com, and we'll set up a session.
