With Auto-Reject, your organization can set up Application Rules so that, based on a prospect's answer to a prospect post question, they will be automatically rejected as a potential prospect. Using auto-reject, your organization can also automatically assign a rejection reason and send an email to the applicant about the rejection

Use Case: For example, for the question, "Are you willing to relocate?", you can configure an Auto-Reject rule so that candidates who answer "No" are automatically rejected as a prospect for your organization.

In this article, we will cover how to configure an Auto-Reject Application Rule for a prospect post, and assume you have already configured a prospect post with custom application questions.

Create an auto-reject prospect post rule

Navigate to the Prospect Posts page. (CRM > Configure CRM)

From the Rejection reason drop-down menu, select the rejection reason that will be assigned to the prospect who answers with the specified response.

You may wish to create a new Tag or Rejection Reason for Auto-Rejected prospect to make it easier to identify prospects who are automatically rejected. To learn how to create a custom rejection reason, click here.

Note: You can also tag Auto-Rejected prospects with customized candidate tags.

When you're finished, click Save. If you want to also send an email when a candidate is rejected, see the section below.

Automatically send rejection emails

When configuring a new rule, you can choose to automatically send a rejection email to the prospect using a rejection email template. To set up a rule to send a rejection email, check the Send email box.

From the additional fields, select an Email Template to send, when the email should be sent, and the timezone.
