How to Reconsider a Candidate

Sometimes the perfect candidate comes along after you've filled a position, or you realize a previously declined applicant deserves another look. BerniePortal's reconsider feature ensures great talent doesn't slip away permanently!

  1. Select “Recruiting” in the top navigation menu
  2. Locate candidates using either method:
    1. Job-Specific View: Select the relevant job from "Job List" to see all applicants for that position

To reconsider a candidate:
  1. Find the candidate with "Declined" status in your candidate listing
  2. Hover over the candidate's action wheel and Select "Reconsider" from the dropdown menu

  4. The candidate's application automatically returns to the exact hiring stage they were in before being declined—no manual adjustment needed!
