How to View and Update a Candidate's Status
As candidates move through the hiring process with your employer, you’ll want to update their status accordingly to ensure your candidate listing is up to date and easy to digest.
To adjust a candidate’s hiring stage:
- Select the “Recruiting” tab in the top navigation menu.
- Locate the candidate by either selecting the applicable job from the “Job List” or directly from the “Candidates” menu.
- Select the candidate’s name to open their application, which will display their current hiring stage.
- Select a hiring stage beneath the candidate’s name to advance or retract their status in the hiring process.
Note – moving a candidate to the final stage in the hiring process does not a hire a candidate.
