Candidates are assigned various offer statuses as they move through the stages of the offer letter cycle. Each of the candidate offer statuses is stored in Recruiting Setup > Candidate Status. For a list of offer statuses used in Recruiting, see Offer Statuses.
Edit Offer Statuses
Note: Offer statuses cannot be deleted.
Offer statuses come preconfigured and don't require any further configuration. You can, however, edit the following fields for each status:
- Name
- Description
- Display in Status Grid
- Sequence
Note the following for offer statuses:
- You cannot configure these statuses to appear in the Status menu of the Candidates tab (in Recruiting > Job Requisitions).
- You cannot configure these statuses to auto trigger in the job application.
Remove Custom Offer Statuses
Prior to the 8.49 version of the Recruiting module, it was possible to create custom offer statuses. If you plan to use the offer management functionality, it's recommended that you remove custom offer statuses from the Recruiting UI. This is important to avoid confusing the system-defined offer statuses with custom ones.
To remove custom offer statuses from the Recruiting UI:
- Open Recruiting Setup > Candidate Status and select the status that you want to update.
- Set the Application Status parameter to No. This removes the status from the Status drop-down button in the Candidates tab.
- Set the Display in Status Grid parameter to No. This removes the status column from the Candidates tab.
- Click Save.
