Delete Candidate Statuses

You can delete candidate statuses, however, there must be at least one candidate status for each of the candidate status types: New, In Progress, Offered, Hired and Declined. It isn’t possible to delete the system-defined New, Hired or Declined statuses. See Configure Offer Statuses.

Moreover, you cannot delete a candidate status once it has been assigned to a candidate. You can however do the following:

• Rename the status.
• Clear the Is Application Status checkbox so that it's no longer displayed in the Status menu.
• Clear the Display in Status Grid checkbox so that it's no longer displayed in the job requisition list.

To delete a candidate status:

1. Go to Recruiting Setup > Candidate Status.
2. Select the status that you want to delete from the list.
3. Note: You can only delete one status at a time.
3. Click Delete. The selected candidate status is removed from the list.
4. Click Save.
