I tried your scenario and cannot reproduce it on my side.
Things to try:
Are you added as an interviewer for the applicant?
Can you create this applicant or do you get an error when trying? If you get an error copy paste the error details here.
Can the user who created the applicant see it? If so can this user delete an create again? And can you see it then?
Run the scenario again with a new job to see if it is reproducable.
