Overview

Talexio provides a list of predefined application statuses that reflect the lifecycle of a candidate's application within a vacancy. Users with an ATS Plus account can create custom application statuses, allowing them to tailor the recruitment process and better track and manage candidates.

 

Key Concepts

  • Application Status: Refers to the stage of a candidate's progress in the recruitment process, showing where their application stands from submission to final decision (such as hiring or rejection).
  • Friendly Name: The public-facing version of the status displayed to candidates in their applicant portal. For example, a status titled Submitted might be displayed to candidates as Application Received.
  • Automatic Employee Creation: Marking a status as 'successful' automatically transfers the candidate profile to the HR module and creates an employee profile upon selection.

 

How to Create an Application Status

The following steps outline how to create a new application status:

  1. Go to the Settings section.
