Removing a Step from a Candidate Selection Workflow

Before you start

The step must be included in the candidate selection workflow.

Configuration > [Recruiting] Administration > Candidate Selection Workflow

Here's what to do

  1. Click the Workflows tab.
  2. Click a candidate selection workflow.
  3. Click the check box next to a step.
  4. Click Remove.

Results:

The step is no longer included in the candidate selection workflow. A step removed from a candidate selection workflow is not deleted permanently; it is still available in the Steps page and can be reused.

When you remove a step from a candidate selection workflow, the step becomes inactive. Although the step is inactive, its order within the step sequence is retained and remains configurable. This is because deactivating a step removes the ability to move candidates to that step in the future, but it does not remove candidates from within such steps, if applicable. It is therefore recommended that inactive steps continue to be sequenced logically with respect to other steps (whether active or inactive) such that, if candidates are in fact in those steps, they can still follow a selection process that is coherent.
