Bonus points
In recruiting, you never want to throw the candidate out with the interview-rejection-bathwater. Chances are, your company has many more jobs just like the one they were rejected from, and you already know the candidate is interviewing and interested.
To that end, your recruiters don't have to go to a lot of trouble to track and followup with these candidates. This workflow takes out the busywork, while ensuring your firm places more candidates and improves the candidate experience, leading to more referrals and redeployments.
Key metrics
Keeping a rejected candidate engaged and on the road to employment is what differentiates burn-and-churn firms from your firm. Rather than falling into an ATS black hole, rejected candidates are nurtured and communicated with, good and bad, so they aren't left wondering.
Consider that candidates spend a lot of time preparing and waiting during the interview process. Give them a positive experience and improve your employment brand at the same time, keeping them (and their referrals) coming back to your firm contract after contract.
