  3. Refresh Delay Emails to Disqualified Candidates (in hours)
  4. Currently, a delay can be configured only for the 'Disqualified Candidates' and this delay will not work if the candidates are moved automatically to 'Requisition status' when the requisition is closed.
  5. If the above 4 Solutions above does not work, kindly create a CS ticket and ask if Monitor Job: Candidate Status Mail Delay was successful
  6. If yes, provide the Email address of the candidate and the timestamp on when it was sent so that CS can check the Mail Server.
