In Greenhouse Recruiting, marking a candidate as hired is the final step in the candidate recruitment process. By performing this action, your organization is hiring a candidate to join your organization against a job's opening. Once complete, an opening for the job will be closed. 

In this article, we will cover how to mark a candidate as hired for organizations that have an offer approval process enabled for the job. 

If an offer approval process is enabled for a job, the following steps must occur before a candidate can be marked as hired: 

  1. A user creates the offer
  2. The offer passes through the job's designated offer approval process

To begin this process, navigate to the profile for a candidate and click Offer Details on the On Job panel.
