Deselect Applicant(s)
In this example, we will deselect applicants from Job Opening 9664.
In this example, we will be deselecting individual applicants for different reasons and will demonstrate two different ways to do this.
Three applicants are considered, "Not Minimally Qualified" and can therefore, be group deselected. The fourth applicant is considered, "Minimally Qualified" but is still being deselected because there are more qualified applicants. This applicant will be individually deselected because the reason differs from the others.
1. / Click the Recruiting link.2. / Click the Find Job Openings link.
3. / The Find Job Openings page appears.
There are many ways to search for a Job Opening,using specific criteria.
If you are unsure of specific information, you can use the Display Jobs field to find all jobs created by or associated with your ID.
In this example, we know the specific Job Opening ID, 9664.
Click in the Job Opening ID field.
4. / Enter the desired information into the Job Opening ID field. Enter a valid value e.g. "9664".
5. / We do not want to limit our search by Status, we will make the Status blank.

6. / The Status drop-down list appears.
Click theBlank list item.
7. / Click the Search button.

You can always unhide the Navigation Menu by clicking the Expand button or pressing Ctrl+Y on your keyboard.
Click the Collapse (Ctrl+Y) Menu button.
10. / Notice in the upper left corner you are able to unhide the Navigation Menu, if needed.
We are on the Job Opening page.
The top section of the page contains information about the Job Opening and cannot be modified.
The grey Manage Applicants header and grey View Applicants sub-header indicate where you are.
11. / There are 8 applicants for this job as indicated by the number in the blue Applicant bar.
If there were more applicants, you might need to use the arrows to see all of your applicants.
12. / To more easily manage our applicants, we will filter our applicant list to display only our "No" applicants.
We are able to do this because we have already recorded the Interview Committee rankings.
Another way to sort by Applicant Ranking is to click on the My Status column name. This sort displays all the applicants, grouped by ranking.
13. / In this example, we want to limit our list to only those applicants with the "No" ranking.
Click theMy Statusdrop-down list.
14. / The My Status drop-down list appears.
Click the 3 - No list item.
15. / The filtered list of "No" applicants appears displaying only four people.
Important Note:
If you have a filtered list, NEVER use the Select All choice (at the bottom left of the page), because Select All applies to the entire applicant list, even if you are viewing only a filtered subset.
16. / Because we have three applicants who are "Not Minimally Qualified", we can take a group action on all three.
Click the box to the left of Cookie Monster, Samantha Jones and Jennifer Bellenger.
17. / In this example, we have checked the boxes to the left of three applicants. You have formed a group by selecting these three people.

Note the Reject Applicant header which indicates the action you are about to take and there is a list of applicants that you have chosen who will be affected by this action.
Review this information very carefully. If there is an issue with the list of applicants, you may Cancel and return to the previous page (the Job Opening page).
22. / After reviewing the list carefully to ensure the proper applicants have been selected, click theStatus Reasondrop-down list.
23. / The Status Reason drop-down list appears.
Remember, this is the system of record, it is imperative to select the most accurate reason you are deselecting each applicant.
In this example, these applicants are being deselected because they do not meet the minimum qualifications.
Click the Not Minimally Qualified list item.
24. / In this example, we will select the Submit option.
Submitting a deselection triggers an automated email (within 72 hours) to the applicant(s) letting them know that they are no longer under consideration for this particular Job Opening.
The automated email is the same for all applicants regardless of the deselection reason. The applicants will never see the deselection reason.
25. / Click the Submit button.
26. / Notice the applicant's Disposition has changed for the three applicants we deselected.
These applicants are no longer under consideration for this Job Opening and no further actions should be taken with these applicants.
27. / We are now ready to deselect Big Bird who is being deselected for a different reason.
Because he is the only applicant currently being deselected as "Minimally Qualified", we will individually deselect him.
Click the box to the left of Big Bird.
28. / Click theTake Actiondrop-down list to the right of the individual applicant.
29. / The Take Action drop-down list appears.
Click the Reject Applicant list item.

31. / Review the list very carefully to make sure the proper applicant(s) have been selected, click theStatus Reasondrop-down list.
32. / Remember to pick the most accurate deselect reason as these reasons have legal and risk implications as the Talent Acquisition Manager is the system of record during the hiring process.
In this example, this applicant (Big Bird) is minimally qualified but we have more qualified applicants we are considering and that is why he will be deselected.
The Status Reason drop-down list appears.
Click the Minimally Qualified list item.
33. / Click the Submit button.
34. / Notice that Big Bird's Disposition is also now changed to deselected.
35. / Click the Save link.
