Reason should always be required when dispositioning to withdrawn, unsuitable, or offer declined recruitment step

When changing an application status, users should be required to provide a reason if they have selected a status associated with one of the following recruitment steps:

  • Withdrawn

  • Unsuitable - at this time

  • Unsuitable - not suitable for employment

  • Offer declined

Currently, users do not have to select a reason if they click "Save" instead of "Next" on the "Change application status" screen.


Here are several ideas about how to ensure a reason is always required:

1) Provide an on/off setting for the “Save” button on the “Change application status” screen. If the button is turned off, users would only be able to click “Next”; then, on the "Confirm status change" screen, they would be required to select a reason.

2) If a user selects a status that is associated with one of the recruitment steps above:

a) automatically hide/disable the “Save” button;

b) if a user clicks "Save," display an error message/pop-up indicating that they must click "Next"; or

c) display the reason dropdown on the “Change application status” screen and make it a required field.

What business value are you trying to achieve?

When applicants are moved to certain non-current statuses, we need to capture a deselection reason. These “disposition codes” are required for reporting and compliance purposes.
