Bulk update candidate status

Change the status of multiple candidates at once by either manually selecting the candidates to update or uploading a list.

There are two ways to bulk update candidate status in Staffing Referrals.

Option 1: Select the candidates to update

In the "Referrals" > "Candidates" screen, check the boxes next to the candidates you need to update, click "Update Status," and select the new status in the drop-down menu.

Option 2: Upload a list

You can also update many candidates at the same time using a list upload. Click the "Bulk Change Status" button in the top right.

Upload an Excel sheet or CSV with at least one of the following columns:

  • Candidate ATS ID
  • Candidate email
  • Candidate phone number

Select the new status and click "Next."

Verify the column headers and click "Next: Review."

If everything is correct, click the red "Move to [New Status]" button.

Note: You can only use the Bulk Change Status tool to move candidates forward in the referral process (e.g., from "Contacted" to "Placed"). To move a candidate backward (e.g., from "Placed to "Contacted"), update the status manually.
