Define Quick Move on the Candidate Selection Process States

You can define the expected move destination of a state in a candidate selection process.

For each candidate selection process, you can configure a quick move to be used on job applications. Note that if no quick move destination is configured on a state, it's considered as a quick move to the next active state, without asking for comments. The next active state is the next active state in the sequence of states configured in the phase. This excludes the Rejected by Employer and Withdrawn by Candidates states. If the job application is already on the last active state of a phase, the first active state of the following phase is considered the next active state.

When you're defining the destination of the quick move, only valid phases and states are available for selection. This means:

• Any non-terminal state of the current phase.
• Any non-terminal state of an upcoming phase.
  • You can select a state of an upcoming phase, even if it means bypassing a mandatory phase. With such a configuration, recruiting users who can't bypass required phases won't be able to use the Quick Move action.
• The first state of the Offer phase (Offer - To be Created)

The quick move feature isn’t available for these states:

• Terminal states of all phases:
  • Withdrawn by Candidate
  • Rejected by Employer
• Some states of the Offer phase:
  • Offer - To be Created
  • Offer - Draft
  • Offer - Pending Approval
  • Offer - Approval Rejected
  • Offer - Approved
  • Offer - Extended
• All states of the HR phase

You can change the quick move configuration of a candidate selection process regardless of the state of the candidate selection process (Draft, Active, Inactive).

1. In the Setup and Maintenance work area, go to:
   • Offering: Recruiting and Candidate Experience
   • Functional Area: Candidate Job Applications
   • Task: Candidate Selection Process Configuration
2. On the Candidate Selection Process Configuration page, create a process or select an existing one.
3. Click a phase.
4. In the States for Phase section, click the Quick Move menu, then select Define Destination.
5. On the Quick Move page, select the phase and state where the candidate will be moved.
   If you define a destination but you leave the phase and state empty: The destination is considered to be the next active state. Comments will be requested or not from the recruiting user depending on the comments configuration. This can be used in a situation where you want to move job applications to the next active state, but request comments from the user.
6. You can indicate if comments must be requested.
   If you select Ask for Comments, the recruiting user performing a quick move will have the opportunity to provide comments before moving the job application. If you select Don't Ask for Comments, the recruiting user performing a quick move will see the job application being moved immediately, without more information being requested.
7. Click Save and Close.
