Yes. The match figure is for you, not for them - Vethan Concept Group Limited does not see it. The apply button works the same regardless of your match percentage.
Because boards rewrite titles when they republish. All copies of this vacancy are the same job at the same employer with the same closing date. We show the employer's own wording and list the rest above so you know you have already seen it.
It appears in your application tracker straight away. Because this application is handled here rather than on an external site, you will see the status change as Vethan Concept Group Limited moves it - viewed, shortlisted, interviewing or declined.
