How to delete a contact permanently

Kula now provides the ability to permanently delete candidates upon request. When candidates requested removal from an organization's system. With this feature you can ensure compliance with data privacy regulations while maintaining control over their candidate database.

What Happens When a Candidate is Deleted?

• All information related to the candidate will be permanently removed from the system, except for minimal details required to prevent re-entry.

• If a recruiter attempts to add the same candidate back via the browser extension or manually through email, they will receive a warning notification.

• If the deleted candidate returns and applies for a new job, a prominent banner will alert recruiters about their previous deletion.

Permissions and Access Control

• Deleting candidates is regulated by a new permission called 'Delete contacts'.

• By default, this permission is granted to Super Admins and Admins.

• Organizations can customize access to this feature based on internal policies.
