Questions, answered
How is 'stale' defined?
By default, any candidate with no stage change in 5 business days. You can raise or lower this threshold per job or across the board.
Will it move or reject stale candidates automatically?
No - WebRun only surfaces the list. Every action on a candidate is a human decision.
What if a candidate is intentionally on hold?
Add them to an exclusion list by name or Workable tag and WebRun will skip them in future runs.
