Automated Tasks and OFCCP

The purpose of the OFCCP feature, within the context of candidate searches, is to keep a record of the search results whenever a user performs a search for candidates for a specific requisition.

When a user performs a search for candidates for a specific requisition, a log file that contains the candidates retrieved by the search is created. Once the candidate is entered in the log, the candidate entry cannot be deleted for two years. Such log files can be indispensable if the organization has to undergo an audit.

If you create and run a task to delete ("all data can later be restored" or "nonidentifying data can later be used for reporting purposes") candidate files, future candidate searches will not retrieve the deleted candidate files even if the candidates are recorded in OFCCP logs. If you create a task to permanently delete candidate files, candidate files associated with candidates entered in OFCCP logs will be deleted but not permanently deleted (in compliance with OFCCP). Consequently, future candidate searches files will not retrieve the deleted candidate files but the data contained in the OFCCP logs will be maintained.
