Updating Applicant Status

As an applicant moves through your hiring process, the status is updated to reflect its position in the process. The status of an applicant can be updated at any time.

Applicant status can be updated directly from the Applicant Detail page. You can also update the status of an applicant while performing other actions, such as sending an applicant for review.

These steps are taken from the Applicant Detail page. This action can also be taken from the main Applicants page as a batch action.

  1. From the Applicant Detail page, Select the Update Status option from the Take Action drop-down list.
  2. In the Update Status pop-up window, select the new status from the available drop-down list.
  3. If desired, click the Add Note link to add global and/or internal notes, by typing them into the appropriate fields.
  4. Click the OK button to finalize the status change.

Clicking OK reloads the page, and a message displays stating the applicant status has successfully been changed.

The Applicant History tab found on the Applicant Details page displays the status change.

Users can update a candidate's status across multiple applications at once, by selecting any other applications from the Additional Applications section.

This area is found below the Status Date field in the Update Status pop-up window. This area can be expanded or collapsed as needed by selecting the + or - icon.
