Frequently asked questions

I updated a candidate's Current Employer in their profile, but the list view in the job still shows the old company name. Why?

This is a known display lag. The list view may not refresh immediately after an edit. Try doing a full page refresh (Ctrl+R / Cmd+R). If the old value persists after refreshing, clear your browser cache or try a different browser. If the issue continues, contact support@kula.ai — this has been reported and investigated as a bug.

I can't find the edit option on the candidate's profile. Who has permission to edit?

Any team member with recruiter-level access or above on the job can edit candidate details. If you're a limited member (e.g. interviewer-only role), you may not have edit access. Contact your admin to check your role permissions.

If I update the candidate's email, will it change their email across all jobs they're in?

Yes. The email address is part of the candidate's global profile and updating it will apply across all jobs they are associated with in your Kula account.

Can I edit application form answers that a candidate submitted?

No. Answers submitted through a job application form are captured as-is and cannot be edited after submission. You can add notes to the candidate's profile to capture any corrections or context.
