Updating a Candidate's Submission Status

Submission statuses provide lower-level detail about where a candidate stands in the hiring process.

You get the option to update the submission status each time you add an internal submission, a client submission, or an interview. You should also update it between these major steps (such as after reviewing the candidate's resume, or after the candidate and contact interview) to record the candidate's, contact's, or sales rep's reaction.

Common submission statuses include Sales Rep Rejected, Candidate Interested, and Offer Extended, among others.

Submission status is specific to where a candidate falls within the hiring process. Don't confuse it with record status. Once you place a candidate, Bullhorn automatically changes both their record status and submission status to Placed.
