The Rejected candidates report helps you better understand the different stages and steps during the hiring process at which the hiring team rejected candidates, and the reasons for the rejection. The period filter is based on the date the candidate was rejected.

What you can do with this report

• Review the volume of rejected candidates as well as their percentage out of all dispositioned candidates within a selected period to recognize and evaluate the efforts invested by the recruiting team

• Discover what the leading reasons were for candidate rejection to devise strategies to reduce the number of unqualified applications, and, by extension, to reduce the recruiting team’s workload

• Examine in which workflow steps candidates have been rejected in greater numbers to identify potential bottlenecks and learn how the job description and the hiring process could be optimized

• Investigate the ups and downs in the number of rejected candidates over time to identify periods of considerable trend changes and inquire what caused such shifts

• Slice the number of rejected candidates by various criteria and explore the rejected candidates’ data on a more granular level
