The Report and Invite statuses can help you understand a candidate’s current place in the screening process.

Report Stage and Status

There are many different statuses a candidate's report can be in. Here, we've grouped the status labels to illustrate what they mean in relation to the report's progress. You can find the detailed descriptions of each status below.
