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 This excludes the Rejected by Employer and Withdrawn by Candidates states.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- Withdrawn by Candidate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).
What to do next
You can define if the Quick Move and Quick Reject actions are used in the candidate selection process and available to recruiting users.
- Open an existing candidate selection process.
- Click Edit Process Properties.
- On the Process Properties page, scroll to the Configuration section.
- Set the Quick Move and Quick Reject actions to Show Action or Don't Show Action.
- Click Save and Close.
If a candidate selection process doesn't have a quick move destination for a state and you add one later, existing job applications that are already in this phase won't be impacted. The job applications will move to the next state.
If a candidate selection process has a quick move destination defined for a state and you change the destination, existing job applications will use the new destination when the recruiting user clicks the Move Forward button.
Note that this is only for existing job applications that are already in the phase where the configuration is changed. Job applications which are created after the configuration change and job applications which are later moved to the phase will use the new destination.
