Configure: Statuses
To configure Candidate Statuses, go to Firm Settings in your Clockwork account.
Click "Clockwork" on the top left of the screen, then click "Firm Settings".
Select the "Configure" view which will take you to the screen below.
You will want to click the first drop down to change the filed you want to configure and select "Statuses".
To Add a Status click the "+Add Status". A pop up window where you can add the custom status. Input your custom status along with selecting the "Category" then click "Save".
Pro Tip: The candidate status at the bottom of the Research category is the default candidate status.
Reorder Statuses
You can reorder Candidate Statuses to display in your preferred sequence by following these instructions.
- Select the Statuses, and then refine your view to a specific Status Category.
- Click and hold the three bar icon to drag and drop Statuses within in each Category to your desired order.
Status Categories:
There are 4 Main Status Categories; In, Out, Research, and Other. These categories assist in tracking your Candidates and their Statuses in the Project Dashboard and Analytics modules. They have implications for sorting candidates by status too. Knowing which statuses are within the In-Contenders category versus the In-Offered category allows the Clockwork Application to sort and report on those statuses as they relate to the progression of the search project and the progression of candidates through the life of a project.
Example: I have added 2nd Interview under the In-Contenders category.
Now when I go to a Project and click the "Status" of a Candidate, I see the custom status that I created within the status drop-down window.
Example: You can see below the 2nd Interview status that I added.
*Note: Check the "Editing An Existing Project Type" section in the Project Type visibility article to guide you and make sure the new status appears in your projects.
