A candidate disposition helps you keep track of whether you've hired or rejected a candidate for a particular job. Since candidates may go through multiple interviews with you on Spark Hire, the disposition serves as your final decision.

📝 Note: You can update a candidate's disposition whenever you need to. The candidate’s disposition history will be visible to everyone with access to that candidate on your account.

Individual update of candidate dispositions

  1. Candidates’ dispositions are typically updated from the View Candidate page, however, you can also set them while evaluating an interview.

      • From the Assessments tab on the candidate’s profile, select the job for which you want to enter a candidate disposition and click Set disposition.Enter a candidate disposition 5.png
      • In the View assessment page (during an interview evaluation), in the interview evaluation form, under Do you want to enter a disposition for this candidate?, click Yes.Enter a candidate disposition 1.png
  2. You’ll be prompted to select the candidate’s disposition: Hired or Rejected.

    • Hired: When you mark a candidate as Hired, you’ll choose whether this is an internal hire (for your organization) or external hire (for a client you’re placing the candidate with). If you select External, you’ll have the option to enter the placement fee (amount and currency) earned so your recruiting firm can track its revenue influenced by Spark Hire.

  3. Choose whether you want to notify the candidate by email.

    • If you choose to edit it, you can make your changes directly in the email or select a different template. If you opt not to edit it, the email template assigned as your default in your email template library will be used.
