Reasons to Reject and Withdraw Job Applications

Reasons are used to gather meaningful information about why a job application was rejected or withdrawn for a job requisition.

Your organization may want to know, for example, why candidates are declining job offers, why candidates are withdrawing their job application, or why candidates are being rejected from the hiring process. That information helps organizations improve their sourcing and hiring processes and also respond to audits about why a candidate was rejected. Those reasons are displayed to recruiters in the progress panel of job applications.

Default reasons are available within the product. When job applications are automatically moved to the Rejected by Employer or Withdrawn by Candidate state of any phase of a candidate selection process, a reason is automatically selected. Here is the list of default reasons. You can change the name of these default reasons.

• The job requisition was filled.

• The job requisition was canceled.

• The candidate was hired on another job requisition.

• Candidate declined job offer.

• Work relationship was canceled.

• Candidate withdrew job application.

• The job application was disqualified.

You can also create your own reasons to identify why a job application was rejected or withdrawn.
