How to erase a candidate
An admin opens the candidate’s More application actions and chooses Erase this candidate (GDPR right to erasure), gives a reason and a note for the audit log, and types the person’s name to confirm. Their personal details and files are removed; an anonymized record stays so your reports still add up. It can’t be undone.
Step 1: Open the candidate and choose More application actions → Erase this candidate (GDPR right to erasure).
Step 2: Pick why, and add a Note for the audit log.
Step 3: Type their name to confirm, and erase.
Their personal details, files and saved photo go. The record stays, anonymized, so counts and reports still add up. Hired candidates get an extra warning first.
