Deleting a candidate from Oracle Recruiting Cloud is a straightforward process but should be done with caution, as it permanently removes the candidate’s profile from the system. Here’s how you can delete a candidate:
Steps to Delete a Candidate:
1. Log in to Oracle HCM Cloud:
- Use your credentials to log into the system, ensuring you have the necessary permissions to delete candidate profiles.
2. Navigate to Recruiting:
- From the home page, click on “My Client Groups” and select “Recruiting” or “Hiring”.
- This will take you to the Recruiting Dashboard.
3. Access the Candidates Section:
- Click on the Candidates tab or section to view all existing candidates.
4. Search for the Candidate:
- Use the search bar to find the candidate you want to delete by entering their name, email address, or other identifying details.
- Click on the candidate’s name to open their profile.
5. Review Candidate Profile:
- Before proceeding with deletion, review the candidate’s profile to ensure you are deleting the correct individual.
- Check any associated notes, applications, or job requisitions for context.
6. Initiate Deletion:
- Look for an option that says “Delete”, “Remove Candidate”, or a trash bin icon within the candidate’s profile.
- Click on this option to initiate the deletion process.
7. Confirm Deletion:
- A confirmation prompt will usually appear, asking if you are sure you want to delete the candidate.
- Review the message carefully to confirm that you are deleting the correct candidate.
- Click “Yes” or “Confirm” to proceed with the deletion.
8. Verify Deletion:
- After the deletion process, navigate back to the Candidates section to ensure that the candidate has been successfully removed from the system.
- You can search for the candidate again to confirm that their profile no longer appears.
Important Considerations:
- Permanent Action: Deleting a candidate is a permanent action, and all associated data will be lost. Ensure you have any necessary backups or notes before deletion.
- Data Retention Policies: Be aware of your organization’s data retention policies regarding candidate information. In some cases, it may be advisable to archive rather than delete candidates.
- Permissions: Ensure that you have the appropriate permissions to delete candidates, as this action may be restricted to certain user roles within the system.
Example Workflow:
- Log In: Access Oracle HCM Cloud with your credentials.
- Find Candidate: Use the search function to locate the candidate you want to delete.
- Open Profile: Click on the candidate’s name to view their profile.
- Delete Candidate: Click the “Delete” option and confirm your decision.
- Verify: Ensure the candidate is no longer in the system by checking the candidate list.
By following these steps, you can efficiently delete candidates from Oracle Recruiting Cloud when necessary, helping to maintain an organized candidate database.
