**Dispositioning a candidate: the process of moving a candidate along in the hiring process or removing them from consideration.**
Hiring managers should disposition candidates at the following stages of the recruiting process:
- Initial review of applicants
- After an interview is conducted
- After the finalist has accepted the formal job offer
Alert! Before you begin dispositioning applicants, please read the definitions of the disposition reasons.
