The Declined stage is where candidates go when you’ve decided not to move forward with them. It helps you see why a candidate was declined and whether they’ve received a rejection email, supporting a respectful experience whether they were declined in Applied or later in the process.
In this article, we will cover:
Declined Stage Overview
The Declined stage shows the candidate’s disposition code and rejection-email status. You can filter declined candidates by the date they were declined.
Key Features
Disposition Code
Each declined candidate shows the reason they were not moved forward—the disposition code—at a glance. Disposition codes help your team keep consistent, documented records of hiring decisions. A disposition code is selected when declining a candidate. If a candidate was declined without one, you can update it from the Declined stage.
Rejection Email Status
A status indicator shows whether a rejection email has been sent. If one has not been sent, a quick action lets you send one without opening the candidate’s full record. You can send a rejection email immediately or schedule it for a future date and time.
Bulk Actions- Send Rejection Emails
If you have declined candidates who have not received a rejection email, use bulk actions to email multiple candidates at once. Select candidates, choose the rejection email template, and choose whether to apply the action to the current page or all pages. Review the selected recipients before sending or scheduling the email.
Declining a Candidate
You can decline candidates from any stage of the pipeline, including from the Candidate Drawer. When declining, you will be prompted to:
- Select a disposition code (required).
- Choose whether to send a rejection email immediately, schedule it for a future date and time, or skip sending and do it later from the Declined stage.
