ATS v2: Do Not Update Closing Report Candidate Status

We offer the flexibility to retain the existing candidateClosed status after the Closing ReportClosed is created.

Admins can configure this feature through the new Do Not Update Candidate Status field the Custom Metadata Type of JobClosed Record Type.

  4. The Candidate Status checkbox controls the following behaviors:
    • If Checked: The candidate's status will not be updated in the contact record when the closing report record is created, regardless the value available on the ‘Candidate Status’ field.
    • If Unchecked and Candidate Status is Populated: This value will be used for the Candidate Status field on the contact record.
    • If Unchecked and Candidate Status is Empty: The logic will work as before (Consulting > Assigned, Other record types > Placed).
