This guide covers statuses that can be applied to job considerations how to manually update the status of a job consideration. 

:::hint{type="warning"}
Please note that manually updating the status on a job consideration should be rarely used. If you are looking for more information on handling a rejected or rescinded offer, check out [Offers and Offer Letters](docId\:KLIMfx9N1tAhEBVkMGPOh).

The **Hired** stage will not appear in the `Change Stage` dropdown if there are active Offer Approvals set up in the [Admin > Approvals > Offers section](https://app.ashbyhq.com/admin/organizational-settings/approvals/offer). You will need to complete the offer process by creating the offer, then clicking the `Offer Accepted` option within the offer’s settings. Once that has been done, the candidate’s stage will automatically change to **Hired**.
