Approve and decline applicants manually

Act on applicant profiles based on verification results.

You can approve and decline applicants manually in case the verification decision was made incorrectly.

Get started

To approve or reject applicants:

  1. In the Dashboard, go to the Applicants page and open an applicant profile.
  2. In the upper-right corner, click Change applicant status. Upon initiating the applicant status change, the profile goes into the Requires action status.
  3. Recheck the profile:
  4. Select Approve or Reject, depending on your verdict.

When you select Reject, you will be prompted to choose the rejection reason. Once you set the rejection reason, click Reject applicant.

You will have the option to customize the message that will be shown to the applicant in case of rejection. To do so, open the permission settings and make sure that the Use moderation buttons checkbox is not selected.
