Puvio
In short
A follow-up is not a second copy of the same application into the same portal. If the posting is still open, find an alum or someone on that team and send a short note that cites the role, one fact from your record, and one fact about their work. Ask for a referral, a take, or a name. One bump after about a week if they never replied. Then stop. Puvio keeps that record from your résumé, scores fit on the posting you saved, ranks alumni and people at the company, and drafts the note. You copy it and send it from your own LinkedIn. Puvio never logs in and never sends. Portal follow-up forms that say “just checking in” join the same pile as the first click.

Check the posting is still open
If it closed, do not chase it. If it is open, a portal “checking in” email is optional and weak.
Find an alum or someone on the team
School, prior employer, or people already on that team. Do not bet the follow-up on guessing the exact hiring manager.
Send a note with homework
Role name, one line from your record, one line about their work, a small ask. Copy a Puvio draft if you used it. Send it yourself.
Wait about a week. One bump. Then stop
If they never replied, one short bump. A third note is how you become spam. Puvio does not auto-send and will not sequence for you.
Most “application received” mail is a machine. A second click into Workday is a second row. Recruiters are not waiting for your nudge.
The person who can move you is on the team or an alum who will refer. That is a different inbox.
The role, in their language from the posting. One concrete line from your work. One concrete line from theirs. A small ask: referral, intro, or fifteen minutes.
Skip “just following up on my application.” They can see you applied if they care. The note has to earn a new reason to care.
Save the posting you already applied to. Fit, company research, and ranked contacts sit on that card. Quick Message drafts the follow-up in your voice. Critic pass. You copy and send.
