Normal candidate processing flow:




On the initial phase of candidate processing, from stage 1(Pending) to 6(Pending Offer), you can update the status based on your preference. No restriction on that. For example, after an interview, you may want to update the candidate from "Interview Scheduled" to "KIV" for future reference. 


Or you have communicated with the candidate offline and already have an interview with him. You are quite sure that he is the right candidate who fits the position. Then, you can directly change the status from "Pending" to "Interview Scheduled". We give you the flexibility to do so.



Explanation of each stage:


1) Pending

  • The flow begins when a candidate applies for a job from the career page or the hiring manager assigning a suitable opening to him. All the application on this stage is in "Pending" status.



2) Rejected

  • If the candidate is not suitable, the hiring manager can update it to the status "Rejected".



3) Shorlisted

  • If the candidate fits the position, he will be putting in the shortlisted basket. 



4) KIV (Keep in View)

  • A candidate is in consideration but didn’t quite fit the position he was applying for. 
  • A hiring manager may review the application in case all preferred candidates reject the actual job offer/the person you hired doesn't work out. Or they might indeed review old applications if a second, similar job is vacant and is aligned with the candidate's skill set.
  • To learn how to assign a new job application to a candidate, please refer to Assigning New Job Application to Candidate



5) Interview Scheduled

  • From the shortlisted list, the hiring manager may finalize the final list and move forward with the interview process. Like contact/invite shortlisted candidates for an interview.



6) Pending Offer

  • After the interview, the hiring manager finds out he was the right candidate. He may proceed to send a job offer request to the Director or company decision-maker to ask for approval to hire him.
  • After the Director approved the request,

                - A new hiring request would be sent to notify HR

                - The application would update to "Pending Offer". 

                - The hiring manager's responsibility is stopped here. HR would continue the rest of the process.
