# Job Application Restriction
### **Job Application Restriction**
**Path**: [Cloud > Settings > Recruitment V2 > Job Application Restriction](https://cloud.pockethrms.com/Recruitment/RecruitmentV2/Index?module=RecruitmentV2\&submodule=Job%20Application%20Restriction)
We use this setting to set up a waiting period to prevent candidates from applying for roles too frequently. This helps in managing application volume and ensuring accurate detection of repeat candidates.
**Note:** The criteria you select to identify duplicates will automatically be set as mandatory fields on your Career Page job application form.
### **Configure Job Application Restrictions**
**Step 1:** Log in to the **Cloud portal**, and go to **Settings**, then select **Recruitment V2.**
**Step 2:** Select **Job Application Restriction** from the menu. Select the waiting period for re-application. You can choose **30 Days**, **60 Days**, **90 Days**, or enter custom days.
**Step 3:** Select where the rule should apply: **Applied Job Only** for the same job, or **All Jobs in the Company** for all open jobs.
**Step 4:** Select how the system should identify duplicate applications, you can select one or more options from:
* **Aadhar Card**,
* **PAN Card**,
* **Mobile Number**,
* **Email**.
You can select one or more options, and Click **Save** to apply the setting.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.pockethrms.com/hr-and-admin-portal/cloud-configuration/recruitment-v2-setup/job-application-restriction.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
