This helps prevent removed candidates from continuing to appear as active applicants, reducing confusion and maintaining accurate applicant records during rebooking. Let’s get started 🚀 **Step 1**: Log in to your agent dashboard and click **Shift Job Calendar** in the navigation bar. ![image5](https://learn.enginehire.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base/Jobs/Automatically%20Update%20Shift%20Applicant%20Status%20on%20Removal/image5.png?width=670&height=250&name=image5.png)    **Step 2**: Scroll down and click the shift job for which you have received candidate applications.  ![image4](https://learn.enginehire.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base/Jobs/Automatically%20Update%20Shift%20Applicant%20Status%20on%20Removal/image4.png?width=670&height=345&name=image4.png) For demonstration purposes, we have already assigned a candidate from the received applications to the selected shift job. Ensure a candidate is assigned before proceeding to the next steps.  **Step 3**: Click the **gear** icon next to the **Unassign Candidate** button. ![image6](https://learn.enginehire.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base/Jobs/Automatically%20Update%20Shift%20Applicant%20Status%20on%20Removal/image6.png?width=670&height=192&name=image6.png) **Step 4**: Select the **Not Interested** option in the **Change status of corresponding job application (if any) when unassigning candidate** field.  The settings will be saved automatically. ![image3](https://learn.enginehire.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base/Jobs/Automatically%20Update%20Shift%20Applicant%20Status%20on%20Removal/image3.png?width=670&height=225&name=image3.png) **Step 5**: Click the **Unassign Candidate** button. ![image2](https://learn.enginehire.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base/Jobs/Automatically%20Update%20Shift%20Applicant%20Status%20on%20Removal/image2.png?width=670&height=177&name=image2.png)    The application status of the unassigned candidate will be updated successfully to Not Interested. ![image1](https://learn.enginehire.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base/Jobs/Automatically%20Update%20Shift%20Applicant%20Status%20on%20Removal/image1.png?width=670&height=203&name=image1.png) - [Onboarding](https://learn.enginehire.io/en/knowledge/onboarding?hsLang=en) - [Application Forms & Profiles](https://learn.enginehire.io/en/knowledge/application-forms-profiles?hsLang=en) - [Templates & Communication](https://learn.enginehire.io/en/knowledge/templates-communication?hsLang=en) - [Jobs](https://learn.enginehire.io/en/knowledge/jobs?hsLang=en) - [Payments](https://learn.enginehire.io/en/knowledge/payments?hsLang=en) - [Integrations](https://learn.enginehire.io/en/knowledge/integrations?hsLang=en) - [App](https://learn.enginehire.io/en/knowledge/app?hsLang=en) - [For Candidates & Clients](https://learn.enginehire.io/en/knowledge/for-candidates-clients?hsLang=en) - [Backup Care](https://learn.enginehire.io/en/knowledge/backup-care?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Instant Book](https://learn.enginehire.io/en/knowledge/backup-care?hsLang=en#instant-book) - [Data Import & Export](https://learn.enginehire.io/en/knowledge/data-import-export?hsLang=en) - [Reporting & Logs](https://learn.enginehire.io/en/knowledge/reporting-logs?hsLang=en) - [Error](https://learn.enginehire.io/en/knowledge/error?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Authentication](https://learn.enginehire.io/en/knowledge/error?hsLang=en#authentication) - [Settings](https://learn.enginehire.io/en/knowledge/settings?hsLang=en) - [Domain](https://learn.enginehire.io/en/knowledge/domain?hsLang=en) - [Webinars and Training](https://learn.enginehire.io/en/knowledge/webinars-and-training?hsLang=en) - [Ways to Grow and Make More Money](https://learn.enginehire.io/en/knowledge/ways-to-grow-and-make-more-money?hsLang=en) - [Placements](https://learn.enginehire.io/en/knowledge/placements?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Job Board](https://learn.enginehire.io/en/knowledge/placements?hsLang=en#job-board) - [Enginehire Team Internal Videos](https://learn.enginehire.io/en/knowledge/enginehire-team-internal-videos?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Settings](https://learn.enginehire.io/en/knowledge/enginehire-team-internal-videos?hsLang=en#settings) - [AI](https://learn.enginehire.io/en/knowledge/ai?hsLang=en) - Home - Products - Pricing - Blog - Company [![Chill listening crop-3](https://learn.enginehire.io/hs-fs/hubfs/enginehire%20logo%20thin%20dark%201.0-1.png?width=68&height=24&name=enginehire%20logo%20thin%20dark%201.0-1.png "Chill listening crop-3")](https://enginehire.io) Enginehire Help Center Copyright © 2026, Enginehire Inc.
