Rolling applications
Neutral Neutral
What it really means
When an employer reviews applications as they arrive and hires as soon as they find good people, instead of waiting for a deadline. The advert may close early once posts are filled — so apply as soon as you can.
Chinese explanation
滚动招聘：雇主随到随审，招到合适的人就发offer，不等截止日期。职位招满后广告可能提前关闭——所以要尽早申请。
