Update an applicant's disposition to show that the applicant has been rejected. |
Use the Reject Applicant page (HRS_GACT_APP_REJ) to update an applicant's disposition to show that the applicant has been rejected.
Note: If a job opening is governed by a flexible recruiting process, that process controls the availability of the Reject Applicant action. Availability can vary depending on the user’s role and the applicant’s current disposition.

Effects of Status Change
If the 110 Reject status is configured with status change effects to update route, interview, and offer statuses, only the latest one of those three status areas will actually change when you reject an application. For example, if an application has both routings and interviews, rejecting the application can cause interview status changes, but routing statuses remain unchanged. If the application also has an offer, then the offer status can change, but the interview and routing statuses remain unchanged.
