Disqualify candidate
Disqualify a candidate from one job with a reason from your workspace list.
MCP tool recruiterflow_write → disqualify_candidate
write Confirm
Disqualifies one candidate from one job. reason must be one of the names under Workspace Settings → Disqualification Reasons; any other value fails and the error lists the valid ones. Only that job is affected: the candidate stays in the database and on other jobs. Recruiterflow does not notify the candidate itself, but a Recipe with the trigger Candidate is disqualified can email them. Undo it in Recruiterflow with Re-qualify on the job card, which returns the candidate to the previous stage. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.
