Overview
When you move an applicant to the Disqualified stage, they are not automatically notified. You choose whether or not to send a message.
Helpful note: Sending a short, kind note helps maintain your brand reputation with job seekers.
How it works
No automatic notifications: applicants won't know they've been declined unless you send them a message
Optional messaging: you can send a templated but personalized email when declining, thanking them for their time or encouraging them to apply again in the future

Common Questions
If I decline someone by mistake, can I undo it?
Yes. You can move applicants back to a different stage in your pipeline.
Can I decline multiple applicants at once?
Yes. Use bulk actions from the Disqualified stage to send one message to several candidates.
Do applicants see the reason I declined them?
No. Only the message you choose to send is visible to them.
