Use Disposition Codes
Disposition codes help track and document committee decisions regarding each applicant, provide responsible documentation of the hiring process, and mitigate liability by keeping a record of the stated reasons why each individual job applicant was removed from consideration. This article explains how to use disposition codes.
Disposition Codes can be assigned to applications one at a time, or a single disposition can be assigned to multiple applications.
