The Candidate Blacklist is Recruitera's block list: anyone on it is prevented from applying to any of your company's jobs. This overview explains how it works and links to the step-by-step guides. Managing the blacklist is available to Admins and Hiring Managers.
Where to find it
Open Settings → Company → Candidate Blacklist. The table lists everyone blocked, with their identifiers (email, phone, national ID), an optional reason, and the date they were blocked.
How candidates get on the blacklist
Manually — click Add to Blacklist, choose the collar type, and enter the person's details. See How to View and Manage Your Candidate Blacklist in Recruitera.
During disqualification — block a candidate as you disqualify them from a job. See How to Blacklist a Candidate During Disqualification in Recruitera.
In bulk — click Import and upload the template.
How matching works
Recruitera matches applicants against the blacklist on their identifiers — email or phone for white-collar entries, national or system ID for blue-collar entries — and blocks a match before they enter your pipeline, whether they apply through your career page, a referral, or a manual import.
Managing the list
Edit an entry (the pencil icon) to correct a mistyped identifier without unblocking the person, or remove an entry (the unblock icon) to let them apply again — at which point existing applications stop being flagged. Full steps are in How to View and Manage Your Candidate Blacklist in Recruitera.
