Adding an Application Status

Whilst you can create groups for candidates in the Job Template, you are also able to create Application Statuses.  These statuses are used for ‘micro-managing’ candidates in the Candidate List.  Application Statuses can be used to show what stage of the recruitment process they are up to (without affecting the APM), as well as making sure other recruiters are aware of basic real-world interactions have taken place, like unsuccessful emails being sent or offer letters have been mailed.

 Here’s how to add new Application Statuses:

1. Hover your cursors over the Job Details menu tab and select the Application Statuses option.
   
   
   
   
   
2. This will take you to the Application Statuses screen, showing all the core status sections that have been pre-built in the eRecruit system.
   
   
   
   Note:  These core status sections are based on a standard recruitment process.
   
   
   
3. To add a new status, you will need to click the + Add an Application Status link in the status section that represents which step it would be used in the recruitment process.
   
   
   
   
   
4. This will then take you to the New Application Status screen, where you can enter the new status here:
   
   
   
   
   
5. Once you have entered the new status, click the Save button in the bottom right hand corner of the screen.
   
   
   
   
   
6. This will then take you back to the Application Status screen; your new status will appear in the appropriate core status section.
   
   
   
   
   

7. If you would like to edit any of the status names, click the Edit option, likewise if you want to delete the status, click the X Delete link.
   
   
   
   

   Once you have added Application Statuses to a Job Template, you are able to connect rules in the APM to these newly created statuses based on a candidate’s Application Form responses.
