How to Update Candidate Status and Outcome

Created by Hellohire Support, Modified on Mon, Jul 21 at 2:29 PM by Hellohire Support

Maintaining accurate candidate records is essential for a well-organized and efficient recruitment process. The system is designed with flexibility and convenience in mind, allowing you to update a candidate’s status, interview outcome, notes, and scorecard at any stage—whether during the interview, immediately afterward, or later when you have time to review.


You can also make updates before the interview takes place or even if the interview did not occur. For example, if the candidate has received an interview invite but has not yet scheduled, has not spoken with the interviewer, is on the waitlist, did not show up for the interview, or was not interviewed during their scheduled session, you can still update their record.


This flexibility ensures your candidate records remain current and accurate throughout every step of the hiring process.


Here's the Step-by-Step Guide:


Step 1: Access the Candidate Report


You can view and edit candidate details through either of the following paths:


  • Via Management View:
    Management > Candidate Tab > Click “View Details” (of the candidate) > Candidate Report


  • Within the Specific Job:
    Job > Candidates Tab > Click on the Candidate > Candidate Report


Step 2: Open and Edit the Candidate Report


Once you're in the Candidate Report, you can:

  • Select or update the candidate’s status from the dropdown menu.

  • Choose or update the interview outcome if applicable.

  • Leave or edit notes to provide additional context.

  • Update the scorecard, as needed.

  • Click Save to apply your changes.
