In this process, candidates are categorized into distinct stages to ensure a structured and organized approach. You can assign them to these stages within your interview section to help track their progress more easily:
Not Applicable: Candidates who are either not suitable for the role or do not meet the basic eligibility criteria.
Pending Review: Candidates who have completed the interview but whose reports are yet to be manually reviewed or assessed.
On Hold: Candidates whose evaluation has been temporarily paused—often due to pending information or shifts in hiring priorities. They are not actively under consideration but haven’t been ruled out entirely.
Shortlisted: Candidates who meet the initial criteria and demonstrate potential. After passing preliminary screenings, they are moved forward for more detailed evaluation or interviews.
Hired: Candidates who successfully complete all stages of the recruitment process, receive an offer, and accept the position—officially joining as employees.
Rejected: Candidates who do not meet the role’s requirements and will not move forward. This decision is usually based on interview results or other evaluation factors.
For Example:
If you're uncertain about advancing a candidate to the next stage or rejecting them, you can place them "on hold" in the hiring process.
