Candidates can be rejected or moved to a different stage in your ATS, directly from SquarePeg.

Key information

1. Rejections (declines) and stage changes in SquarePeg are sent to your ATS immediately. They don't wait for the scheduled ATS sync.
2. Candidates can be rejected or moved to a different stage, individually or in bulk.
3. When rejecting (individually or in bulk), a rejection email can be sent to candidates by selecting a template. Note: Rejection messages are available to Greenhouse users only.
4. When changing a candidates stage, no communication is sent to candidates.
5. You can toggle through candidates using the left and right arrows in the actions bar at the bottom of a candidate’s profile, or the left and right arrow keys on your keyboard.
6. Which actions are available depends on your ATS. If your ATS doesn’t support an action (for example, rejecting from outside the ATS), its button is hidden.
