I applied to a few jobs via the GS website. Was't expecting much, but I noticed that the status of one application is "Skillsket Match". Does this mean I am in contention for an interview? Has anyone else experienced this? Thanks.
Goldman Sachs Portal - Skill Set Match For Application
There is a complete lack of clarity when it comes to the "skill set match" status on the Goldman Sachs application portal. Some uses equate the skillset match to the wait list and some believe that it is essentially a rejection. Our users shared their thoughts below.
Catthegreat - Equity Capital Markets AssociateIt took three weeks of "skillset" status limbo before a VP reached out directly. Said an urgent need came up and they were looking to move on the position asap. This was in their AM group. From day of application to VP contact 2+ months lapsed. I'm assuming the hr marks the "able" resumes for if/when the need becomes available. Not an assuring outlook but probably a realistic one. Best thing is to forget it. Plenty more fish in the sea to take your "able" resume to.
Imsurance - Real Estate AnalystThe alternative to skillset match is "application no longer being considered". Probably means HR deemed you didn't meet minimum criteria to fill the role.Source: Received 1 "skillset match" and 1 "no longer being considered" for 2 jobs I applied to last week

What did you apply for? Just curious because my app says the same thing.
I've seen this recently too, haven't heard anything though and it's been long enough where they probably are interviewing if not filling position. Would like to hear more on this if anyone knows
Yeah, the status was changed last Friday. I'm hoping they are still making final decisions on interviews
Yup I had applied for a few openings as well and for two roles my status has changed to skill set matched one changed on 08/08/2017 and the other changed 08/18/2017. I still cannot fathom whether it even means something substantial or not.
Did you have the interview?
My application changed to Skillset match around the same time, curious as to what exactly it might mean as well...
No changes in status as of today. I think the system will just keep me here.
At least they gave my resume a look, I guess
Same here, but it took three weeks of "skillset" status limbo before a VP reached out directly. Said an urgent need came up and they were looking to move on the position asap. This was in their AM group. From day of application to VP contact 2+ months lapsed. I'm assuming the hr marks the "able" resumes for if/when the need becomes available. Not an assuring outlook but probably a realistic one. Best thing is to forget it. Plenty more fish in the sea to take your "able" resume to.
That makes a lot of sense, thanks for the input. I've already been looking elsewhere, but good to know that I might receive a pleasant surprise down the road.
The alternative to skillset match is "application no longer being considered". Probably means HR deemed you didn't meet minimum criteria to fill the role.

Hey, just wondering after this couple of months, has your status changed or did you received any response from them yet?
the status is still there. Another role I applied for switched to "Skillset Match" last month. No follow-up on either.
Did you apply via campus hire or experienced hire? Given that this is campus hire season, maybe the hr is very busy.
