After being shortlisted for a job, what can I do next via Swag?

You will receive an email when SmartMatch recommends you as a top candidate for a job opening. This means your profile and experience match what a certain organisation is looking for in applicants. When you receive this email, you can choose to express your interest in the role and the business. Then, you will be able to answer a prescreening questionnaire if the organisation has set up some.  Lastly, you can also send a message to the hiring manager.
