Unhiring an Applicant

Applicants that have been hired in symplr Recruiting can also be unhired if you need to change the applicant selected for the position. You are only able to unhire an applicant that has a current status of File - Hired.

Users must have the necessary permissions to unhire an applicant.

These steps take place from the Applicant Detail page.

  1. Select Unhire Applicant from the Take Action drop-down list. This displays the Unhire Applicant modal window.
  2. Select a new status for the applicant from the Update to the following status drop-down list.
  3. Select a disposition for the applicant from the Select Disposition drop-down list.
  4. If desired, click the appropriate Add Note link to add Global and/or Internal notes for the applicant.
  5. Click OK.

Clicking OK closes the Unhire Applicant modal window, and displays a message stating the applicant status has successfully been changed. Selecting the Applicant History tab on the Applicant Details page displays the status change.

Several other actions occur when the status is updated away from File - Hired:

  • Any data entered into the new hire form is deleted, and the New Hire tab is unavailable.

  • The status for the associated requisition is changed back to the previous status held before the applicant was hired.

    Note: If the requisition had a status of Active - Posted but the valid posting dates have passed, the requisition is moved to a status of Active - Not Posted.
