Deleting Records

You can delete a candidate, client, contact or vacancy record by clicking the Delete button on the relevant record’s Details screen.

You can delete multiple records at once by selecting the records from a main grid or search results screen, then selecting Bulk Actions from the menu in the bottom-left. Then, on the Bulk Actions screen, click the Delete button.

Clients and contacts can’t be deleted if they have any vacancies associated with them.

Vacancies can’t be deleted if they have candidates in their pipeline, unless deleting multiple records at once using the ‘Bulk Actions’ menu on the vacancies main grid.

When a record is deleted, it’s stored for up to 30 days in Recently Deleted (Settings > Recently Deleted), after this time the record will be permanently deleted and cannot be recovered.

If you wish to restore a deleted record, then head to Recently Deleted and locate the record. Select the record and then choose Restore from the menu in the bottom-left.

Note that when restoring a deleted contact, if the client it belongs to is also deleted, then this will be restored as well.

You can also permanently delete records if you wish to. This action requires the Permanently Delete Records security permission, which only administrators have by default.
