Delegated Examining Unit (DEU) Certification Practice Exam

In the context of delegated examining, what does "not selected, not contacted" mean?

1. The candidate expressed disinterest in the job

2. The candidate applied but didn't proceed further

3. The candidate was not contacted after applying

4. The candidate was interviewed but not chosen

The correct answer is: The candidate was not contacted after applying

In the context of delegated examining, "not selected, not contacted" refers to a situation where a candidate has applied for a position but did not receive any communication regarding their application status after submission. This status indicates that the candidate was not chosen for further consideration or an interview, and as a result, they were not contacted by the hiring organization. This terminology helps clarify the distinction between candidates who might have been actively engaged throughout the hiring process and those who were simply not selected from the initial pool of applicants without further interaction. It emphasizes that, although the candidate expressed interest by submitting an application, they did not advance through the selection process, hence the "not contacted" aspect.
