Disqualify candidates
Candidates are disqualified from consideration when you click the red hand button on their profile.
When a candidate is disqualified they move to the Disqualified tab for that stage. Candidates won't know that they have been disqualified unless you either email/call them or have a disqualification automated action enabled. Note that disqualifying a candidate for one job does not affect their candidacies for other jobs in your account.
Tip: You can auto-disqualify candidates based on specific criteria using Yes/No application form questions.
Disqualify in bulk
To disqualify candidates in bulk:
- Click Select all (or the checkboxes next to individual's names)
- Click Bulk actions at the top of the candidate list
- Click Disqualify candidates
If you have a lot of disqualified candidates, try emailing them in bulk to let them know that they won't be proceeding. Better yet, with our automated actions function you can set up an email triggered some days after a candidate is disqualified.
Rejection reasons
If EEO/OFCCP is enabled on your account you will be required to give a reason every time a candidate is disqualified. This will only apply to jobs located in the US. The disqualification options will vary depending on the stage of the applicant. Click ‘other’ to provide custom reasons for disqualifying a candidate.
