Create an Application Restriction Rule

Follow these steps to create an application restriction rule.

To create an application restriction rule:

1. Click Create a New Rule.
2. Complete the relevant fields in the form.
   Note:

   Job seekers are restricted from applying to a job posting only if they match all the criteria in a rule.

   When you create an application restriction rule, aim to make each rule as detailed as possible so you do not inadvertently restrict more applicants than you intended. If the restriction rule is too broad, it can potentially lock out a large number of job seekers.

   Here are pointers to help you narrow down your restriction rules:

   • If your company uses the Job Families feature, you can create restriction rules based on a particular job family.

   • If you want to restrict a previously-rejected job seeker from applying to a similar job, select a job title or a group of similar job titles from the Job Title multi-select box.

   • If your company uses the Two-Tier Rejection Reason feature, then make sure that you populate the Secondary Rejection Reason field as well after you select the primary Rejection Reason field.

     Note:

     Rejection reasons and secondary rejection reasons are configured in the Drop-down and Multi-Select List > s section of the Administration screen.

   • You can apply the rule to internal users (for example, employees), external job seekers, or both.

     An application restriction rule must include a rejection reason and duration, even if that duration value is.
