The Restrict Hiring until Offer Letter Accepted client property, which is disabled by default, allows you to restrict hiring for candidates who haven't yet accepted their offer letter. This property applies for both external and internal candidates.
When this property is enabled, the system will restrict the Hire action until candidates have accepted their offer letter. The hire action isn't available for these candidates.
When you enable this property, the hire action isn't available for candidates who haven't yet accepted their offer letter. It comes into effect immediately for existing requisitions and for any candidates who have been sent offer letters. If you select candidates who haven’t yet accepted their offer letters in the candidates list and then select Hire > Mass Hire, they appear in the Ineligible Candidates tab with the reason, "Candidate didn’t accept offer."
Note: This behavior applies even if the job requisition is configured with candidate status mapping and the user has the Bypass Candidate Status Mapping role feature enabled. In this scenario, the Restrict Hiring until Offer Letter Accepted property takes precedence and users won't be able to bypass candidate status mapping to hire the candidate until the candidate has accepted the offer letter.
To hire these candidates anyway, you can change their status to Offer Accepted if possible.
To configure this client property:
- Go to Recruiting Setup > Client Properties.
- Select the Restrict Hiring until Offer Letter Accepted client property.
- Select one of the following options below the property description:
- Enable this feature: Enables the client property so that candidates who haven't yet accepted their offer letter can't be hired.
- Disable this feature: Disables the client property so that candidates who haven't yet accepted their offer letter can be hired. This option is selected by default.
- Click Save.
