The mark as spam feature allows your organization to reject a candidate application and mark the individual as spam. If that candidate applies again later using the same email address, the new application is automatically rejected as spam only if it meets your organization's configured auto-merge criteria.
To mark as spam during Application Review, from the Application Review page, click the Ellipsis icon and select Reject as spam.
Note: This feature is only available if your organization has configured the Spam rejection reason to be visible.
The candidate will be rejected and marked as spam. If a future application comes in from the email address associated with the rejected application, it will only be automatically rejected if it meets your organization's configured auto-merge criteria.
A matching email address alone does not guarantee that a future application will be auto-rejected. Your organization's auto-merge criteria may also require a matching phone number and/or LinkedIn profile. If a new application doesn't meet all of the configured criteria, it will not be automatically rejected and will need to be reviewed manually, even if the email address was previously marked as spam.
You can also reject a candidate and mark them as spam by navigating to the candidate profile to select Reject. In the rejection pop-up, set the Rejection Reason drop-down as Spam.
If you later decide to remove the spam designation on the candidate, navigate to their candidate profile and change their rejection reason to anything other than Spam to allow them to apply again.
