We have updated the disqualification reasons in Workable to make them universally available for all jobs. This change aims to streamline the disqualification process, making it quicker for you to find the right reason. See below what has changed.
Revised disqualification reason copies
We have revised the disqualification reason copies by introducing new, shorter descriptions for better clarity and usability. Three new reasons are introduced:
- Doesn’t match job location
- Job no longer receiving applications
- Not interested
You can check below the reason mapping between old and new copies:
| Old reason copies | New reason copies |
| Minimum qualifications as stated in the ad not met | Doesn’t have required qualifications |
| Does not have the preferred experience as stated in the ad | Doesn’t have required experience |
| Area of specialty is not a good fit at this time | Area of speciality doesn’t match job |
| Doesn’t match job location 🆕 | |
| Job no longer receiving applications 🆕 | |
| Not interested 🆕 | |
| Candidate selected had more experience/skills | Other candidates are more suitable |
| Salary requested is higher than available budget | Salary expectations too high |
| Unfavourable interview | Unsuccessful interview |
| Not satisfactory assessment results | Unsuccessful assessment |
| Doesn't meet job's timeplan requirements | Doesn't meet timeframe for job |
| Unable to contact candidate | Could not be contacted |
| Withdrew/declined interview | Withdrew/declined interview |
| Did not show up for interview | Did not attend interview |
| Rejected offer | Rejected offer |
Once you click the red hand icon to disqualify a candidate, you will see the revised reasons split into two categories for easier selection:
- Candidate rejected
- Candidate withdrew
Reasons required for non-US jobs
Disqualification reasons apply to all jobs, not just US jobs, and will be common for all jobs when users disqualify a candidate.
Disqualification reasons are independently manageable through account settings (available only to Admin users). However, when EEO/OFCCP settings are enabled, disqualification reasons become required for all your jobs (US and non-US) and cannot be set as optional for non-US jobs.
For this reason, the related setting will be greyed out for you.
Updated EEO reporting
Following these updates, your EEO reporting is updated to incorporate the new disqualification reasons, ensuring consistency and accuracy in your reporting processes.
More specifically, when Admin users export the detailed results per candidate by clicking the "Export data per candidate to CSV" button in the EEO/OFCCP report, they can view the updated reasons. This applies to both new data and old data tracked before the updates take place.
