Rejecting candidates
Rejecting a candidate lets them know they will not move forward in the recruitment process. This helps jobseekers move on to their next application. It also supports your credibility as a company. In this article, we'll explain two ways to inform candidates that they've been rejected.
Setting a rejection automation
What it is
- Send a no-reply email to candidates three days after their status changes to Rejected.
- Candidates you reject manually or who are auto-rejected by the required screener questions will receive this scheduled email.
When you turn this automation on, it applies to all your jobs.
How it works
- Navigate to your Employer Dashboard.
- Select Tools from the menu on the left-hand side of the screen.
- Click or tap Automations.
- Select Email rejected candidates.
- Write your Message template and the Automation name.
- Click or tap Turn on to set up the rejection automation.
Did you know? You can edit or turn off the automation at any time in the My automations dashboard.
