# How to log a meeting's outcome

> Say how a meeting went, move the candidate on, and add the follow-up, in one save.

A meeting that has ended shows **Needs outcome** until you log one. The outcome goes on the record the meeting is about, with your notes and any follow-up.

## Steps

1. Open **Meetings**. Under **To file**, select **Log outcome** on the meeting. Or open it from **Past** or the calendar.
2. Check **About**, the record it was about. Choose one if it's empty.
3. Pick an **Outcome**. The choices follow the meeting's type.
4. Add what was said under "What was said? (optional)", and **+ Follow-up** for a task with a due date.
5. For a meeting about an application, pick the stage change: **Move \<name> to \<stage>**, **Keep in stage** or **Reject** with a reason.
6. Select **Save outcome**, or press <kbd>⌘</kbd> <kbd>↵</kbd>.

## The outcomes by type

| Type | Outcomes |
| - | - |
| CCM | Advance, Hold, Reject, Offer, No-show |
| Candidate interview | Shortlist, Keep for matching, Reject, No-show |
| Client briefing | Brief taken, Follow-up needed, No-show |
| Client meeting | Noted, Follow-up needed, No-show |
| Internal meeting | Noted, Follow-up needed |
| Aftercare | All good, Concern raised, No-show |
| No type | Held, No-show, Rescheduled, Cancelled |

## What happens next

* Hire says "Outcome saved", with the stage move and task it made. **Undo** reverses the stage change.
* The note goes on the record and on each attendee you have in Hire.
* For a recorded call, Flo usually proposes the outcome itself. Approving its card files the meeting. See [How to file a recording](/guides/how-to/file-a-call).

## Troubleshooting

* **Not a recruiting meeting.** Select **Not a recruiting meeting** on the row under **To file** or on the meeting, and it stops asking. **Undo** on the message, or **Ask again** on the meeting, undoes that. A meeting with only colleagues or people on your agency's own domains never asks.
* **"This meeting has not started yet".** Log the outcome once it starts.
* **It's no longer in To file.** Only meetings that ended in the last 7 days wait there. Open older ones from **Past**.
