Is StepStone down right now?
Things look normal on StepStone for most people right now. This page tracks StepStone status with reports sent in by users. If StepStone down reports shoot up, the problem sits with the service, not with you.
User reports name search and alerts. The simple search fails, filters forget their settings, or alert mails flood the inbox. If your screen shows the same faults, the problem is shared, not your account alone.
Is StepStone down for me or everyone?
Run the same search in a private browser window. If it works there, the fault sits in your saved settings or cookies. If search fails for everyone and reports climb here, a wider StepStone outage is likely. Users ask is StepStone down for me most at the search box.
How do I fix a job search that lands empty?
Some users hit a search that spins and never lands, or lands with zero jobs for a common title. A tight filter stack is one cause: place, radius and job type can cut the list to nothing. One wrong filter hides every ad.
Clear all filters and search with just the job title. Add one filter back at a time to find the one that breaks the list.
Why do filters forget their settings?
Reviews name filters that never save. Each new visit starts from a blank search, and the same boxes need ticking again. Saving the search as an alert keeps the settings in your account. In the app, stay signed in so the settings stick.
When do switched-off job alerts stop sending mail?
One alert can send a mail a day, and users with a few alerts report a flood of mails each morning. Switching alerts off in the account does not always stop them at once.
What happens to my stored CV on a firm career page?
The apply button does not always keep you on StepStone. Some firms send you to their own career page, where the form starts empty and your stored CV stays behind.
Common StepStone Problems and Fixes
Most StepStone faults sit in search settings or your account. Work through the fixes below first.
Search spins or returns nothing
Clear every filter and search with the job title alone. Add filters back one by one to find the bad one. Delete a saved search that carries the fault and build it fresh.
Filters reset on every visit
Sign in before you set the filters, so the account stores them. Save the search as an alert to lock the settings in. In the app, update to the newest build.
Alert mails keep coming
Open the alert list in your account and switch each alert off by name. Use the unsubscribe link in one mail per alert. Give it a short while, since queued mails still land.
Apply form starts empty on a firm site
That firm takes applications on its own page, outside your profile. Keep your CV file ready on the device so you can upload it there. Jobs with quick apply keep the form filled.
CV upload fails in the profile
Use a plain PDF with a short file name. Large scans fail most, so shrink the file before the upload. If the app stalls, finish the upload on the website.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does StepStone show no jobs for my search?
A tight filter stack cuts the list to zero. Clear all filters and search with the title alone. Then add one filter at a time until the list breaks.
How do I stop the job alert mails?
Switch each alert off in your account by name, not just in one mail. The link in a mail stops only that alert. Queued mails can still land for a short while.
Is StepStone down when search will not load?
Not always. A stalled search is often a saved filter or cookie fault. Test a private window. If search fails there too and reports climb, check this page.
Does StepStone cost money for job seekers?
Searching, alerts and applying are free for job seekers. Firms pay to post ads. Some extra career tools sit in paid extras, but the core board stays free.
Can I apply with my stored CV?
Yes, on jobs with the quick apply mark, your profile and CV go with a few taps. Other firms send you to their own form, where you upload the file again.
What does the CV check in my profile do?
It reads your uploaded CV and scores how well it fits a job ad. It flags missing skills and weak spots. A strong score helps firms find your profile faster.
