Blocklist applicants

Overview

Use this method to blocklist the applicant profile.

📘

Note

Before adding applicants to the blocklist, make sure they are not in it already by checking for BLACKLIST and BLOCKLIST labels in the rejectLabels array. In case you are trying to add an already listed applicant to the blocklist, we will throw the 409 HTTP status with the 5000 error code.

😀

Did you know?

You can also blocklist applicants from the Dashboard.
