Scenario

Recruiters require a way to quickly differentiate candidate cases during the Interview stage. To clarify reporting on candidate cases, recruiters have asked that a unique, custom status be applied to candidate cases during each step of the Interview stage.

Create three new work status values for use in candidate cases and in the candidate case life cycle, apply the work status values to the appropriate steps in the Interview stage.

Status value Step
Open-Scheduling Schedule interview
Open-Interview Interview candidate (Conduct interview)
Open-Assessment Assess candidate
