# On Hold

The recruiter is able to select a candidate or a list of candidates and perform the 'On Hold' action. Go to the job posting, go to tracker and select one or more candidates.

Once the recruiter performs the 'On Hold' action, update current status in the tracker to **'On hold**,' send an email notification to the recruiter, and add an activity in the candidate's history indicating that the ‘**Candidate is on hold**.’
