🧭 Overview

The Application Status page allows you to customise how each status is labeled across your company’s workspace. This is useful for aligning platform terms with your company-specific hiring language, improving clarity and workflow efficiency.

The system provides two types of statuses:

  • Default Application Status: System-defined and read-only.

  • Custom Application Status: Editable field where you can define your own labels.

These labels will appear across the platform, including:

  • ATS

  • JEM


✏️ Editable vs Non-editable Statuses

❌ Non-Editable Statuses:

These system labels are fixed and appear as read-only:

  • Application Received (In-Organic)

  • Application Received (Organic)

  • Screened

  • Initial Interview

These labels can be customised to better reflect your process. You may change them using the input fields shown on the page.
