Moving Between Candidate Stages

Moving Between Candidate Stages

I'm slightly confused about Candidate Stages in Zoho Recruit, specifically a couple of stages seem very stubborn to either get into or get out.


It states

>In Review: When you establish connection with a candidate via email, SMS, or an assessment--without a job opening association--they will be In Review.

OK but what if I want to move a person manually or force them across? I don't want to utilize emails from Zoho as most of my communication is *already* done via Outlook. As per this question here : https://help.zoho.com/portal/en/community/topic/add-emails-into-zoho-recruit-from-office-365-or-outlook-extension. The Outlook/Office365 doesn't support the ability to attach emails from Outlook to a candidates records.

I don't want to send an SMS.

I *could* create some sort of dummy assessment just to move this candidate into this status, but otherwise... I'll never be able to move this candidate here.

Am I wrong in what I'm thinking here? Essentially without sending an email from the Zoho Recruit system, this status is pointless for me?

----

The next status I'm confused about is Rejected. The documentation states :

> Rejected: When you move an application to one of the Rejected statuses in the Hiring Pipeline, the candidate will move to Rejected. Click here to know more.

Just because a candidate was rejected for a particular role (For any number of reasons), I want to get them back to "Available". But this seems *impossible*. The only way people can be moved back to Available is if I simply don't update their status at all and move another candidate to hired.

>Available: When a job opening is filled, other candidates who are neither Hired nor Rejected will move to this stage. You can later associate them with any other job.

I think overall, not being able to manually move candidates within stages of a pipeline if required to seems really difficult and arbitrary.
