Updating a Candidate's Submission Status

You use submission statuses to provide lower-level detail about the candidate's position throughout the hiring process. Each time you add an internal submission, a client submission, or an interview, you have the option to update the candidate's submission status. You should also update the submission status in between the major steps to indicate the candidate, contact, or sales rep's reaction.

Example: After reviewing the candidate's resume or after the candidate and contact interview.

Common submission statuses include but are not limited to: Sales Rep Rejected, Candidate Interested, and Offer Extended. Keep in mind that submission statuses are specific to where a candidate falls within the hiring process, and should not be confused with record status. Once you place a candidate, Bullhorn automatically changes both their record status and their submission status to Placed.

To Update a Candidate’s Submission Status

From the job record, select the Submissions tab.
- S-Release: On the job record, click the Activity tab.
Expand Submissions.
Within the row of the chosen candidate, click the current status and select the new status from the drop-down.

Note: To edit another aspect of a submission, such as the submission source or related comments, or to delete a submission entirely, click Update to the left of the candidate's name (or, if you're on Bullhorn S Release, expand the submission and click Update) to open the Edit Submission window.
