Candidate Status indicates the position of the Candidate in the Candidate lifecycle. A Recruit Candidate can have one of a defined set of status values, each of which has a meaning to the Recruit system and helps to define what can happen to the Candidate. Candidate Status can be set manually or automatically by system or user defined workflows. Do not change the spelling of any supplied Candidate Status option by editing picklist values - changed values will not work in Recruit.
Available Candidate Status values are:
| Status | Definition |
|---|---|
|
New |
Candidate details newly received and entered on the system. New Candidates have not yet started the assessment process for a Vacancy. |
|
Active |
Candidate assigned to a Vacancy to create an Application. Candidates remain Active through the assessment process until status is changed manually or by workflow. |
|
Onboarding |
Candidate has entered the Onboarding stage of the selection process. A Candidate record entering Onboarding status can be used as a trigger for creating a Team Member in Sage People HCM. |
|
Hired |
Candidate has been successful and has entered the Hired stage on the selection process. A Candidate record entering Hired status can be used as a trigger for creating a Team Member in Sage People HCM. |
|
Talent Pool |
Candidates whose last application had the outcome Not This Vacancy. Candidate records with Talent Pool status are retained for consideration against other Vacancies. |
|
Archived |
Candidates whose applications have been rejected or withdrawn. You can delete Archived Candidate records if you do not need to retain them for audit or equal opportunities monitoring. Archived Candidates who apply for another role have their status reset to Active if the Candidate Portal Configure page setting Permit Archived To Apply is checked. This Candidate Portal setting applies equally to the internal Portal. |
|
Withdrew |
Candidates who no longer want to be considered for a Vacancy. |
