Some organizations use the terms "applicant" and "candidate" to designate slightly different concepts. They reserve the term "applicant" for people who have simply applied for a job and the term "candidate" for people who have been deemed qualified and are therefore being considered for the job. As such, a "candidate" would be contacted for an interview whereas an "applicant" would not. 4, record 1, English, - applicant
