Decline and Offer Rejection Reason Columns

Enter a name for the reason (maximum of 64 characters). This is what will be displayed to recruiters and other authorized users in Recruiting

Enter a description for the reason (maximum of 256 characters). This field is optional and is displayed only in the Decline and Offer Rejection Reason feature. It isn't displayed in Recruiting.

Enter a unique reference code for the reason (maximum of 128 characters).

Select the checkbox to display the reason in the Decline Reason drop-down list of the Decline Candidates dialog box in Recruiting. This checkbox is selected by default when you add a new reason to the list.

Before You Begin: This column is displayed only if the candidate grading functionality is enabled for your organization and is used only for decline reasons (that is, reasons for which the Decline Reason checkbox is selected). The Decline Reason Type field is left blank for all existing decline reasons. For newly added reasons, the Unsure option is selected by default. You can update the default value for new or existing reasons.

Select one of the following options to identify why a candidate's job application would be assigned the decline reason:

• Satisfactory Application - Not Hired: The candidate's job application was found to be satisfactory, but they weren't chosen for the job.
• Unsatisfactory Application - Not Hired: The candidate's job application was found to be unsatisfactory for the job.
• Unsure: The decline reason doesn't reflect the quality of the job application.

Note: This field is optional, but configuration is highly recommended to improve the accuracy of the candidate grading functionality. See Configure Candidate Grading.

Select the checkbox to display the reason in the Rejection Reason drop-down list of the Change Status of Offer dialog box in Recruiting.

Note: You must have at least one recruiter offer rejection reason configured so that recruiters can decline or rescind an offer.

Select the checkbox to require the recruiter to enter a value in the Note field of the Change Status of Offer dialog box. A red asterisk is displayed next to the Note field to indicate that it's required. Clear the checkbox and this field is optional for the recruiter.

Select the checkbox to display the reason in the Rejection Reason drop-down list of the Offer Rejection dialog box in candidate offer letters.

Note: You must have at least one candidate offer rejection reason configured if you want to display the Offer Rejection dialog box to candidates. Selecting the option for at least one option is what "activates" this feature.
