How do I reject applicants?

Create standard rejection reasons in Settings > Pipeline > Rejection reasons and reject candidates from the pipeline.

Do you often reject candidates for the same reason? Then create standard rejection reasons in Settings > Pipeline > Rejection reasons (Instellingen > Pijplijn > Afwijsredenen). For example salary expectations too high, not a fit for the vacancy or other candidates are a better fit.

Settings > Rejection reasons. Add a new reason in the top right.

Settings > Rejection reasons. Add a new reason in the top right.

  • Add: click Add reason (Reden toevoegen) in the top right.

  • Edit, move or delete: hover over a reason and click the three dots.

Reject a candidate

  1. Open the candidate in the pipeline. A sidebar opens on the right.

  2. Click Reject (Afwijzen) in the bottom right.

  3. Choose a rejection reason and add an explanation if you like. The reason is saved, so you can later see why candidates were rejected.

  4. Check the email preview and confirm. The candidate then receives an email.

Rejecting several applicants at once

  1. Go to Applications (Sollicitaties) in the left menu.

  2. Use the checkboxes to select the applications you want to reject.

  3. Click Reject (Afwijzen) at the bottom and choose a rejection reason.

  4. By default the AI writes a rejection email based on the reason and your tone of voice. If you don't want to send an email, switch this option off.

Tips

  • Use clear and honest rejection reasons. That helps candidates move forward.

  • Set your tone of voice in Memory (Geheugen) (Settings > AI > Memory), so rejections always match your style.
