Greenhouse Recruiting provides your organization with the following default rejection reasons:
Default Rejection Reason | Reason Type |
Duplicate | We rejected them |
Lacking skill(s)/qualification(s) | We rejected them |
Not a cultural fit | We rejected them |
Other (add notes below) | We rejected them |
Preferred another candidate | We rejected them |
Spam | We rejected them |
Didn't like offer | They rejected us |
Other | They rejected us |
Wasn't available | They rejected us |
Wasn't interested | They rejected us |
None specified | None specified |
Your organization can assign these default rejection reasons (in addition to any custom rejection reasons) when rejecting a candidate or prospect from a job. Unlikes custom rejection reasons that can be fully deleted, default rejection reasons can only be hidden so that they no longer appear from the available options when rejecting a candidate or prospect.
To hide a default rejection reason, click the Configure icon in the upper right-hand corner and select Custom Options from the left-hand panel.
Select Rejection Reasons from the Custom Options page.
From the Manage Rejection Reasons page, navigate to the Default Rejection Reasons panel and click Hide inline with the rejection reason name.
Note: Candidates and/or prospects who were assigned the hidden rejection reason will still be assigned that rejection reason and will populate in reports under the hidden rejection reason. Candidates assigned a hidden rejection reason can be manually assigned a new rejection reason from the candidate's profile. Greenhouse Recruiting currently does not support bulk reassignment of default rejection reasons.
The rejection reason will be hidden from the list of available options when rejecting a candidate.
