If you need to change the rejection reason on a group of candidates that were rejected in bulk, you will first need to un-reject the candidates and reject them again with the correct reason.
You can't un-reject candidates in bulk in Greenhouse Recruiting. However, if you use the Harvest API, you can un-reject a cohort of candidates using POST:
Unreject application
, and bulk reject them again with the updated reason.

Tip: If you are rejecting a candidate a second time, be mindful of any automated notification emails that may be sent to candidates. You can choose to not notify candidates of their rejection when sending the email.
