Shortlisting and rejecting candidates

Review candidate stages and record hiring decisions carefully.

Before you start

Recruiter pipeline stages organize hiring work. A saved candidate or a local selection is not necessarily a persisted shortlist or a decision sent to the candidate.

What to do

  1. 1
    Open Applications. Use the recruiter application record for the person and job you are reviewing.
  2. 2
    Review the stage action. Choose an available stage appropriate for that record. For a rejection, read the reason and confirmation fields.
  3. 3
    Check the response. Confirm the recorded stage and any notification information separately.

Important limitations

Keep in mind

Do not claim that a stage change sends a decision email unless the action explicitly confirms it. Search-page shortlist selection can be local rather than persisted.

If you need more help

If a control is missing or an action fails, include the page address and the message shown when you contact JobSpring. Never include your password, sign-in code or payment-card details.
