Change a candidate's status in Cornerstone

Once you have candidates applying for your role you will be able to start moving them between statuses, you can follow our help guide below or skip to the bottom to watch a video. 

To do this, log into Cornerstone and go to the Hiring Dashboard. 

Click on Active Applicants to take you to your manage candidate's view. 

You will be able to see what status the candidate is currently in and select the candidates you wish to move. Select each user using the tick boxes next to their name and then click on Actions -> Change status. 

Note: You can select multiple candidates at once if you would like to change candidates statuses in bulk. 

This will pop up with a new box where you will be able to change the status that they are in, for example you may want to change a reviewed applicant to be shortlisted. 

Note: If the candidate's current status has an asterisk (*) next to it (Like below) you will need to check the Mark as complete box before changing the status. This indicates that it's a required status. 

If you have decided to close an applicant, you will be given the option for disposition (why they were unsuccessful for a role) for more information on declining a candidate check out our help guide.

Once you have entered the relevant statuses you will be able to click submit.

Note: Only change candidates' status when you are sure you want to make the change. If you move the candidate to 'Closed' this will trigger an email to go out to the candidate. 

Alternatively, you can go to the candidate's profile and change the status from there directly by clicking on their current status.
