Not every applicant is right for the job. Disqualify removes an applicant from your active process and records why, so your team and your reports stay accurate. If things change, you can requalify them.

​
Disqualify an applicant

You can disqualify an applicant from wherever you’re working: Choose the reason that really applies, for example Did Not Pass Screening, Candidate Withdrew, or Offer Declined. Your team manages the list of reasons in Disqualified reasons. Disqualified applicants become Inactive. They’re hidden from your default views, and an alert on their profile shows they’ve been disqualified.
Strong candidate, wrong timing? Add them to a talent pool before you disqualify them, or use the Move to talent pool reason, so they’re easy to find for your next role.

​
Change the reason

Picked the wrong reason? Open the applicant and change their disqualification reason. The reason matters: it feeds the Disqualified Reason Breakdown in Reports, which shows why you’re losing candidates.

​
Requalify an applicant

If an applicant becomes a good fit again, for example a role reopens or they reapply, click Requalify on their profile. They become Active again and return to your process.

​
Find disqualified applicants

On Applicants, Tasks, or a talent pool, open Filters and tick Inactive applicants.
