You can rename a disqualify reason or remove one you no longer use. Some reasons are system defaults and can't be changed or deleted — those simply show no edit or delete controls. This action requires a role with permission to manage templates & workflows (typically Admins).
Before you start
Required role: a role with the Manage templates & workflows permission (typically Admins)
Where to find it: Settings → Workflow → Disqualify Reasons
How to edit a disqualify reason
Open Settings → Workflow → Disqualify Reasons.
On a reason you can change, click the edit (pencil) icon. (System-default reasons have no edit control.)
Update the text and click Save.
How to delete a disqualify reason
Click the delete (trash) icon on the reason.
In the confirmation dialog, click Delete. Candidates already disqualified for this reason keep it; it just stops being offered going forward.
Frequently asked questions
Why can't I edit or delete some reasons?
Some reasons are system defaults. They can be used when disqualifying candidates but can't be renamed or removed, so they show no edit or delete controls.
Does a disqualify reason add candidates to the blacklist?
Whether disqualifying for a particular reason also blocks a candidate is determined by Recruitera, not something you toggle on the reason here. To manage blocked candidates, use Settings → Company → Candidate Blacklist.
What happens to candidates already disqualified for a reason I delete?
They keep that reason on their record. Deleting only removes it from the list recruiters can pick going forward.
