Automatically Rejecting Candidate Submissions When Requisitions are Filled and/or Canceled

The auto-rejection of candidate submissions can be set for canceled requisitions and filled requisitions.

System administrators determine when candidate submissions will be automatically rejected:
  • When a requisition has been filled.

  • When a requisition has been canceled.

  • When a requisition has been filled or canceled.

  • In neither case.

Recruiters can choose to override the auto-rejection behavior set by the system administrator. In the requisition file Candidate Selection Workflow section, recruiters can select these options:

  • Automatically reject all submissions when the requisition is filled

  • Automatically reject all submissions when the requisition is canceled

When viewing the History tab of candidate submissions, recruiters can determine the cause of the auto-rejection. The event "Status changed to Rejected" is displayed for both types of rejections, but the details will indicate if the rejection was due to the requisition being canceled or filled.

Configuration

The setting "Automatically Reject Candidates when Closing a Requisition" allows system administrators to enable the auto-rejection independently for canceled requisitions and filled requisitions.
