In Recruiting Setup > Candidate Status Mapping, you can configure which candidate statuses are used to track a candidate's progress for a job requisition, and in which order each status occurs.
Note: Status updates triggered by screening questions, for all candidate statuses, are only supported for external candidates and not internal candidates.
After configuring one or more status mappings based on your organization's needs, you can assign them to job requisition using the Candidate Status Mapping field in the following places:
- Job Requisition forms
- Recruiting > Job Requisitions, in the Add New Requisition wizard
- Recruiting > Job Requisitions, in the Details tab for job requisitions
When managers and other authorized users view a requisition that uses status mapping in Recruiting > Job Requisitions, the Status list is filtered to display only those statuses that are configured for the mapping. Further, only the available statuses (those that were already completed and the next status in the list) are enabled. All other statuses are grayed out to ensure that the configured order is respected. Users can move a candidate's status back and forth between the completed statuses, but they can only progress forward one new status at a time.
Note: Users who are assigned the Recruiting > Actions > Bypass Candidate Status Mapping feature in System Admin > Roles, aren't required to follow the progression defined by the mapping and can assign any statuses without limitations.
