You can add a Do Not Hire flag for candidates who you’ve found to be unsuitable for your organization. This ensures that the candidate won’t be considered for future roles. For example, you might want to flag a candidate who submitted false information on a job application or who provided one or more fake references.
Role feature access:
- Recruiting > Recruiting > Actions > Add Do Not Hire
- Recruiting > Recruiting > Actions > Remove Do Not Hire
When flagged, the candidate can’t be hired from within the Recruiting feature. If you later want to hire that candidate, you must first remove the flag using the Remove Do Not Hire button described below.
To add the Do Not Hire flag for a candidate:
- Go to the Candidates tab of Recruiting > Job Requisitions.
- Select the candidate’s name.
- Click Do Not Hire in the toolstrip.
- The application opens the Add/ View Notes dialog box.
- (Optional) Enter a note explaining why you're flagging the candidate as Do Not Hire. By default, the visibility for this note is set to Everyone, but you can change this selection.
- Close the dialog box.
The candidate is moved to the Disqualified Candidates tab, with "Do not hire" shown as the disqualification reason. You can click the goto ( 
) icon next to this reason to see the names of the users who added or removed the flag from the candidate. In Recruiting > Talent Pools, the Do not hire this candidate icon (
) is shown in the Indicators column for this candidate.
If your user role was assigned Remove Do Not Hire access, the Do Not Hire choices change to Remove Do Not Hire after you flag a candidate. You can use this choice to remove the flag from the candidate’s record.
