Configure the Automatically Decline Candidates Based on Assessment Status Client Property

Before You Begin: This client property is only shown if you configured an integration with an assessment service provider in Dayforce. See Configure the Use of Assessments.

The Automatically Decline Candidates Based on Assessment Status client property controls whether the Declined status is automatically assigned to candidates when they fail the job application assessment for a job requisition. When enabled, you can select a default decline reason and enter a default note that Dayforce will add to the candidate's job application profile when the candidate is declined.

To configure this client property:

  1. Go to Recruiting Setup > Client Properties.
  2. Select the Automatically Decline Candidates Based on Assessment Status client property.
  3. Select one of the following options below the property description:
    • Enable this feature: Enables the auto-decline functionality.
    • Disable this feature: Disables the auto-decline functionality. This option is selected by default.
  4. If you enabled the client property, do the following in each of the additional configuration fields that are displayed:
    • In the drop-down list, select the decline reason that will be assigned to candidates when they are automatically declined. This list displays the decline reasons that are configured in Recruiting Setup > Decline and Offer Rejection Reasons.
    • (Optional) In the text box, enter the note that will be added to the candidate's job application profile when they are declined. If you don’t want to include a note, leave this field blank. By default, the note is attached to the job requisition and the visibility is set to Everyone.
  5. Click Save.
