Candidate Status/ Job Application Stage Process Alignment
Candidate Status/ Job Application Stage Process Alignment:
You can see that Candidate Status and Job Application Stage correspond but are not the same.
A candidate can be under review for two different jobs, that is, they are being reviewed through Job Applications as well as within their own Candidate page.
The Candidate below has a Hiring Manager Evaluation Status (that is, he has been assigned to a recruiter and that recruiter has reviewed his application.)
But you can also see that the Candidate has multiple Job Applications associated with him.
When we look at thes applications, we can see that they are many different Stages of the Job Application process.
