What happens to a Deleted Profile
Depending on the profile type, a Profile Deletion could remove the profile from LiveHire altogether, or simply sever the connection of the profile to your Talent Community.
Where a profile is a Temporary or Limited Profile, and is therefore only associated with your Talent Community, deleting a profile will completely remove the profile from the LiveHire platform, redacting or deleting the associated profile data so that it is no longer identifiable.
Where a profile is a Live profile, and is therefore controlled by the candidate, who has chosen to connect to your Talent Community, deleting the profile will sever the connection between the Live Profile and your community. This action will remove the instance of the candidate’s profile from your community, as well as deleting or redacting any community specific data, such as job applications, messages, and recruiter entered data. The candidate’s Live profile will remain pristine, with the only change being that their connection and associated applications and messages will also be removed from their profile view.
The candidate may, at their discretion, choose to rejoin your Talent Community, however, none of the previous Job Applications, Messages or other data will be restored in this event.
