What it means
A submittal brings a candidate and a job into a client-review workflow. It is distinct from simply holding a resume or adding someone to an internal list.
An example from the desk
After reviewing a candidate for a client requirement, the recruiter tracks the submission and later interview or offer developments against that candidate and job.
What to remember
Keep the recorded status aligned with the real client and candidate events. A status label alone is not evidence that an external conversation happened.
