Answer someone, or keep them for later

Everyone waiting on you shows a countdown. Answer in one tap with a kind reason, or keep someone for a future role.

Step by step

  1. Open Manage hiring. Everyone waiting for an answer shows how many days are left.
  2. Choose a reason, such as Not the right experience or Role filled. The person gets a kind answer with your reason.
  3. Or choose Keep for a future role. They're told honestly that this role isn't going ahead for them now.
  4. Saved people stay in your pipeline, so you can come back to them when a role opens.

Good to know: Answering on time keeps your job post moving: the next applicant only comes in when you answer someone.
