How does rejecting candidates work?

Read about how rejecting candidates works.

Specify reasons for rejecting a candidate

Before you can efficiently set candidates as ‘Rejected’, it’s useful to enter a few possible reasons for rejecting candidates in your settings. You do this as follows:

  • Go to ‘Settings’.
  • Click on ‘Reasons to not retain’ 
  • You can add a few standard reasons for rejecting candidates here. Then, when you come to reject a candidate later on, you can select from these. 

Rejecting a candidate

Go to the candidate you want to reject. You can change a candidate’s status to ‘Rejected’ (the red hand icon) in Jobtoolz. 

There are two ways to do this: 

1. In the candidate details page itself.
At the very top, on the right, you can click on the hand icon

.

2. In the overview of candidates.
Select the candidate(s) you want to reject ->  Actions ->  ‘Reject the selected candidates’.  

When you do this, you’ll see the popup shown below, where you can select one of the standard reasons and/or include an additional explanation.
