Rejecting applicants lets you manually or automatically reject candidates, choose a reason for rejection, and optionally notify them using rejection templates.
You can view all rejected applicants in your system by using the built-in filters under the “Applicant Status” category. If needed, you can also unreject applicants to restore them to active status and continue in your hiring pipeline.
When you’re ready to bring someone on board, you can manually mark applicants as hired or set up automation so that anyone entering a designated stage is automatically marked as hired.
