Deleting a Candidate record is permanent. You will not be able to recover the information it contains afterwards.


Required prerequisites

You must first have the Delete right for the Candidates module. If not, you need to go to the Administrator interface or inform the manager who has administrator rights.

Administrator > Managers/Roles > Role > Relevant role > Main Modules section > Candidates and click on the configuration of the Candidates module

Then click on Miscellaneous, check the line "Delete records", then save.

Also make sure you have modification (write) rights for the main data on the record in question:

WARNING!

To avoid any data loss, make sure to delete all the candidate's positionings first. Otherwise, deletion will not be possible.

To delete a candidate's positioning, go to their Candidate record, then their "Positionings" tab. Check the small box before the candidate's positioning then click on the bin

Candidate deletion

Once these prerequisites are met, you can proceed to delete the Candidate.

You have two options:

  • From the Candidates module, check the small box before the candidate's line then click on the bin

The following pop-up appears:

It reminds you of the prerequisite to delete the candidate's positionings. If this prerequisite is met, click Yes to confirm your wish to delete.
