How Do I Lock a Candidate's Record in Recruiting?

Describes how to lock a candidate's record in Recruiting.

This article is for administrators.

 

Overview

When you hire someone, it is a good idea to lock their record. Once a candidate is locked, only their contact information and resume are visible to other users.

Locking a candidate hides Comments, Offers Details, Metadata and Attachments from all non-administrator users. Administrator users can still view the entire record.

Pro Tip: If you hire a candidate who becomes an Administrator or Staffing User, we strongly recommend you delete their candidate record.
