Overview

Sometimes, you are not ready to move forward with a candidate, but you don't want to inactivate them completely. The Back Burner status is a great place for these candidates because they do not clutter up the Home dashboard and they are easily accessible at another time.

Steps to Change a Candidate's Status to Back Burner

1. In Recruiting, go to the candidate's record. 
2. Click the appropriate stage for the candidate: Review, Phone Screen, or Interview. 
3. Click Back Burner and then click Save.
4. To review candidates in the Back Burner status, go to the Home dashboard and click the top-most box to the right of the job information. If the box is grayed out, there are no candidates in the Back Burner status.
5. You also have the option to remove the Back Burner status from these stages by following the Custom Hiring Processes.
