Common statuses include New, In Review, Shortlisted, Interview Scheduled, Offer Extended, Hired, and Rejected.<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-section\">\n<h2>Status vs Stage in Zoho Recruit<\/h2>\n<p>Status and Stage are related but distinct in Zoho Recruit. Stage refers to the specific pipeline step a candidate is currently at. Status is a finer-grained indicator of what is happening within that stage. For example, a candidate at the Interview stage might have a status of Interview Scheduled or Interview Completed depending on whether the interview has taken place.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-section\">\n<h2>Using Status for Reporting and Filtering<\/h2>\n<p>Candidate Status is a key filter in Zoho Recruit&#8217;s reporting and list views. Recruiters can quickly pull up all candidates with a Shortlisted status across all openings, or see how many candidates are waiting in Offer Extended status. Status also drives candidate-facing communication: automated emails can be configured to send when a status changes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-example-box\"><strong>Example:<\/strong> A recruiter at a retail company in Pune filters the pipeline to show all candidates with status Offer Extended across all open Job Openings. She finds three pending offers and sends follow-up emails to each candidate from within Zoho Recruit to prompt a response.<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-related-pills\"><a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/pipeline-stage-zoho-recruit\/\" class=\"gt-related-pill sp-content-link\">Pipeline Stage<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/hiring-pipeline-zoho-recruit\/\" class=\"gt-related-pill sp-content-link\">Hiring Pipeline<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/disqualification-reason-zoho-recruit\/\" class=\"gt-related-pill sp-content-link\">Disqualification Reason<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/candidate-zoho-recruit\/\" class=\"gt-related-pill sp-content-link\">Candidate<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-section\">\n<h2>Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n<div class=\"gt-faq-item\"><strong>What is Candidate Status in Zoho Recruit?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Candidate Status in Zoho Recruit is the label indicating where a candidate stands within their current pipeline stage, such as Interview Scheduled or Offer Extended.
