How to reject/discontinue a candidate?

Modified on Fri, 22 Dec, 2023 at 3:40 PM

You can reject/ discontinue candidates from any job stage if you decide to not move forward with the candidate. 


Step 1: Go to the job stage where the candidate is present and locate the candidate.


Step 2: Go to the three dots at the right end and select the Reject/Discontinue Candidate option.


The Reject/Discontinue candidate panel will open.


Step 3: In case the candidate is rejected by the employer, select Employer rejected. Select the rejected reason from the list and add a comment. Check the candidate checkbox to notify the candidate. Click on Reject to reject the candidate. 


Step 4: If the candidates themselves are pulling out of the process, select Discontinue candidate. Select the discontinue reason from the list and add a comment. Check the candidate checkbox to notify the candidate. Click on Reject to discontinue the candidate. 


The hiring team of the job will be informed via notification.


The rejected/discontinued candidate will no longer be present in the job stage, and the candidate's job status will show as Rejected in the candidate repository. 

You can find the rejected candidate on the Rejected Candidate list. From here, you can remap the candidate to a more suitable position.
