What are the different candidate stages?

New: This stage is applied to every candidate created in Zoho Recruit. A candidate remains in this stage until you associate them with a job, or get in touch with them via email or SMS.

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.

Engaged: When a candidate is associated with a job.

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. Click here to know more.
