When a new candidate applies for a role at your organisation, their email and mobile number will be checked to ensure they are valid.

On their record, next to the contact card icon, a coloured flag (either green, amber or red) will now appear which will vary depending on the outcome of the validation check:

You can hover over the flag for more information on the validation for each candidate:

When exporting any of the candidate tabs, you will now see the validation status of each candidate in the contact details validation status column.

If you notice a high number of red-flagged candidates coming from the same referrer, we recommend reaching out to the referrer to find out more about how they are sharing and their connection to the candidates - you may also need to reiterate the scheme rules.

Validation Statuses Explained:

These are the various flags that can appear:

When an email will not be validated:

  • The email is in an incorrect format

  • It is a temporary email address

  • The address cannot receive inbound messages

When a mobile number will not be validated:

  • The mobile number is in an incorrect format

  • The mobile number is not registered
