2. Go to the Disqualify Candidates section. Here, you will also find the setting to allow admins or all members to block candidates. “Configure whether to ask team members to provide a reason for disqualifying a candidate and if providing a reason should be optional or required.” Important: When EEO/OFCCP settings are enabled, disqualification reasons become required for all your jobs (US and non-US) and cannot be set as optional for non-US jobs. For this reason, the related setting will be greyed out for you.

3. “Capturing structured data around why candidates are rejected or drop from a job can help you improve your recruiting process by revealing market trends, recruiter biases or company policy blockers that are keeping you from making a hire.” Workable supports capturing this data as part of the disqualify action. As an account admin you can select whether you’d like to collect this data and whether you’d like to require your hiring team to provide it when disqualifying or collect it only in some cases.

4. Capturing disqualification data “If disqualification reasons are enabled and mandatory, once team members click the red hand icon to disqualify a candidate, they will be required to select a reason from the list for the rejection or write their custom rejection reason.” If disqualification reasons are enabled and optional, team members will have to click on the arrow next to the red hand icon to select a rejection reason for candidates they wish to provide a reason for. Alternatively, they can click on the hand icon and disqualify without providing a reason.
