agree  Muriel Vasconcellos: Where I worked (WHO), they were called 'candidates' for vacant positions/posts. In this context, I'd say 'the candidates (' files) are being reviewed'.

  -> Thanks, Muriel. Yes, files in any case would do. Have a good weekend.

  -> You can twist it to candidacies, but at this level 'review applications' makes more sense.
