  • Example when this could be used: If the application was transferred to another requisition.

• Subject – Customer-facing subject line for the email. We recommend keeping it simple.

• Email Template – Most dispositions have a generic, friendly email associated with why they are no longer being considered.

• SMS Mapper and SMS Message – Create a shortened version of the rejection for those registered for texting.

• Flag Candidate – Adds a flag next to the candidate's name on their profile. Used in such instances as unfavorable background results or not eligible for rehire.
