create two list views. one for selected and another for rejected. you can specify the criteria based on the status field

The simplest and visual solution to this is to create view from the main page of your candidate object. Under the criteria section all you have to do is to provide the condition where status isequalto selected. And name that view selected candidates. Repeat for the rejected and change the condition to status isequalto rejected and name this view as rejected candidates.

If you want to achieve this with triggers let me know.

Hi Wasim,

Thanks for reply. but i want the solution for position object when even i selected position record in position object in related list i want fiter the selected and rejected records

You can create two VisualForce pages, one page to show the selected and another one to show the rejected, then you add these two VF pages as a section on the position object layout.

Kindly refer to this link :

In the query of each controller, specify the WHERE CLAUSE of the query, so in the first controller it will be "Where status__c = 'Selected'", and in the second controller "Where status__c = 'Rejected'".

Hi Arun

You need to follow the following steps if you want to have such related lists.

1. Create two lookup fields on your job application object linked to the position object, and name them as Accepted job application and Rejected job application. There is no need to show them on the page layout.
2. You'll probably have the status picklist field on your job application object which have the values hired and rejected.
3. Now you need to go to the process builder and create a process which will do the rest of the magic. 

I'm attaching the screen shots so that you can visualize what's going on, I hope this will make sense to you.

4.Step4

Now to test the related list functionality just update the status picklist of each position and you can see that job applications will be updated into the relvant related lists on the position object.
