In case your Employee Referrals account has been integrated with your ATS system, the statuses might be synced automatically. Please check with your Referral Admin to understand if the status change to hired or closed will be done automatically.
If the statuses aren't updated via the integration, you can easily mark a Referral as closed by clicking on the button "Close" (menu > Referrals > In progress).
Select the reason for closing the referral in the pop-up window:
Do not disclose a reason: no reason will be shared with your Talent Scout.
We have rejected the candidate
Candidate is not the right fit for this position
We are already in touch with the candidate
The candidate has withdrawn the application
We will keep the candidate on file
The application is not valid: all points (and coins, if activated) related to the referral will be revoked.
By clicking on "Close", you finalize the process and the Talent Scout will receive an automatic email informing them of the feedback about their referral.
Please note: The communication between you and your applicant is not part of Employee Referrals. By closing a referral the responsible talent Scout will be informed, but no email is sent to the candidate.
Your closed referral will be saved under "Closed" and will be deleted based on the number of days chosen in the Account Preferences (read more about it here).
