# Candidate statuses

Candidates statuses are used on the **Candidates** page to identify the current position of a candidate in the recruitment process.

You can set up candidates statuses with any title, however they are all based on predefined internal candidate statuses.

To set up candidate statuses:

1. Go to **Settings** > **Candidate Settings** > **Candidate Statuses**.

2. On the **Manage Candidate Statuse s**page:
  - To add a new status: fill in the bottom line with a custom status name, then, in the second column, select a predefined candidate status, and then select the **Add** button.
  - To edit a status: change the custom status name in the first column and/or predefined status name in the second column, and then select the **Update** button.
  - To delete a status: select the **Delete** button next to the candidate status that you want to remove.
