# Learn about Referral Status
### Overview
In this article, users will learn about ERIN's default statuses.
### 1. About candidate status
Users can keep track of their referrals with standard and custom referral statuses. Listed below are the standard ERIN referral statuses and what they mean.
#### 1.1. Referred
A "Referred" status indicates that a referral has been initiated within ERIN (Fig. 1a).
Figure 1a
For users at companies in the European Union, candidate details will not be visible until the referral has been accepted. Rather than a referred candidate's contact information being displayed, the text "Pending Acceptance" will be instead (Fig. 1b).
Figure 1b
To learn about the referral process under the European Unions's GDPR policy, go to [GDPR-Compliant Referrals](https://support.erinapp.com/knowledge/gdprs?hsLang=en).
#### 1.2. Accepted
An "Accepted" status indicates that a referred candidate has accepted their referral (Fig. 1c).
Figure 1c
#### 1.3. Applied or another custom status
An "Applied" status indicates that a referred candidate has applied for the job, yet hasn't officially been hired yet (Fig. 1d).
Figure 1d
Additionally, some companies may have a custom label in between "Accepted" and "Hired" to note the exact stage a referred candidate is at (Fig. 1e).

#### 1.4. Hired
A "Hired" status indicates that a referred candidate has been designated as "Hired" by the hiring manager (Fig. 1f).

#### 1.5. Ineligible
An "Ineligible" status indicates that a referred candidate has been flagged as ineligible by your company's bonus policy (Fig. 1g).
Figure 1g
To view your company's bonus policy, scroll to the bottom of your dashboard (Fig. 1h).

#### 1.6. Not Hired
A "Not Hired" status indicates that a referred candidate has been designated as "Not Hired" by the hiring manager (Fig. 1i).
Figure 1i
#### 1.7. Declined
A "Declined" status indicates that a candidate has declined their referral (Fig. 1j).
Figure 1j
#### 1.8. Transferred
A "Transferred" status indicates that a candidate has been transferred to a role different from the one originally referred to and a new referral has been created for that role (Fig. 1k).
Figure 1k
#### 1.9. No Response
A "No Response" status indicates that 30 days have passed since the referral was sent and the candidate never reacted to the referral (Figure 1l).
