Rejecting applicants
You can update applicants to a rejected status from the applicant list page or the applicant record page. Most systems have an option to send an automatic email to the applicant as well as updating the status.
Rejecting applicants from the applicant list page
The image below shows you how you can select multiple applicants in the applicant list view and then choose to update their status to a reject status. The user would then choose either "Rejected (auto-email)" or "Rejected no email" based on whether they wished to also send an email confirmation to the applicant.
Rejecting applicants from the applicant record page
Most users will reject applicants from the applicant record page, as from here you can see all the key information that relates to their application. The applicant's status is listed at the top of the page, just to the left of centre (see image below).
When you click on this status the dropdown list of all statuses will appear. From here you will need to select the relevant reject status.
Standard reject email
All reject emails come from a generic email address (e.g. careers@examplecompany.com) rather than an individual users email. The reject email in your ATS will probably look similar to the example below. If you are using hireful ATS Professional or Premium edition then all email communications can be updated to your specific requirements.
