Deleting Candidates Criteria

Criteria Description
Include candidate files whose "Creation Date" is older than: Select the criterion if you want the task to process candidate files that were created earlier than a specific period immediately prior to the moment the task is executed. If you select this criterion, you must also specify the time period by making a selection from the corresponding list. Suppose, for example, that you selected 6 months and that the task was executed on August 31st. The task would process candidate files whose "Creation Date" was March 1st or earlier, and satisfied all the other criteria you might have selected.
Include candidate files whose "Candidate File Last Update" has not changed in the last: Select the criterion if you want the task to process candidate files that were not modified during a specific period of time prior to the moment the task is executed. If you select this criterion, you must also select the time period by making a selection from the corresponding list. Suppose, for example, that you selected 6 months and that the task was executed on August 31st. The task would process candidate files whose "Candidate File Last Update" date was earlier than March 1st, and satisfied all the other criteria you might have selected. To consult the list of changes that trigger an update to the Candidate File Last Update, see Events that Trigger Updates to Candidate File Last Update and Last Activity Date.
Include candidate files whose "Last Activity Date" has not changed in the last: Select the criterion if you want the task to process candidate files whose Last Activity Date has not changed during a specific period of time prior to the moment the task is executed. If you select this criterion, you must also select the time period by making a selection from the corresponding list. Suppose, for example, that you selected 6 months and that the task was executed on August 31st. The task would process candidate files whose Last Activity Update date was earlier than March 1st, and satisfied all the other criteria you might have selected. To consult the list of changes that trigger an update to the Last Activity Date, see Events that Trigger Updates to Candidate File Last Update and Last Activity Date.
Include candidates who have no completed profile or application. Select the criterion if you want the task to process candidate files of candidates who have not completed any career section flow (profiler or job-specific application), and satisfy all the other criteria you might have selected. The following candidates, even if they have not completed any career section flow as such, are considered to have "completed applications" and thus will not be deleted permanently by the task:
  • Candidates who are matched to a requisition.

  • Candidates who are entered in the system by way of the Capture Resume or the import toolkit.

  • Candidates who are hired.

Include candidate files marked as "Identification Missing". Select the criterion if you want the task to process candidate files that have been identified as "Identification Missing", and satisfy all the other criteria you might have selected. Candidates provided no identification (first name, last name, initial), and did not indicate that they wished to be anonymous.
Include candidates who have not applied on any requisition in the last: Select the criterion if you want the task to process candidate files of candidates who have not applied on any requisition during a specific period of time prior to the moment the task is executed. If you select this criterion, you must also select the time period by making a selection from the corresponding list. Suppose, for example, that you selected 6 months and that the task was executed on August 31st. The task would process candidate files of candidates who had not applied on any requisition from March 1st to August 31st.
Include candidates who have been referred by an agent or agency at least this long ago. Select the criterion if you want the task to process candidates who have been referred by an agent or agency at least this long ago.
Include only candidates who have been deleted. Select the criterion if you want the task to only process candidates who have been deleted.
Exclude candidate files that were deleted in the last: Select the criterion if you want the task to exclude candidate files that were deleted in a specific period of time.
Exclude internal candidates. Select the criterion if you do not want the task to process candidate files of internal candidates.
Exclude candidate files whose status is "Hired" on a requisition. Select the criterion if you want to exclude from the task candidate files of candidates whose status is "Hired" on at least one requisition. In other words, they are currently employed by the organization. To avoid deleting permanently employees who have been hired outside of the system (and who consequently do not have the "Hired" status), it is recommended that you also select the Exclude internal candidates criterion.
Exclude candidates who are currently active in a selection process. Select the criterion if you do not want the task to process candidates who are currently active in a selection process.
Exclude referrers. Select the criterion if you do not want the task to process referrers.
Include candidates only if all requisitions associated to the submissions of that candidate have been closed (Filled or Canceled) or are in Deleted status and that the last one to be closed has been closed since:
Include only candidates based on the value of the following UDFs: Select the criterion if you want the task to process candidate files that have specific UDFs. It is possible to build a condition using multiple UDFs. The candidate file must contain each UDF value to be included. Only UDFs of type Selection or Date can be selected.
Exclude candidates based on the value of the following UDFs: Select the criterion if you want to exclude from the task candidate files that have specific UDFs. It is possible to build a condition using multiple UDFs. The candidate file must contain each UDF value to be included. Only UDFs of type Selection or Date can be selected.
Include candidates whose "Place of Residence" is one of the following locations: Select the criterion if you want the task to process candidate files that have specific places of residence.

Include candidates who have applied on a requisition whose "Primary Location" is one of the following: Select the criterion if you want the task to process candidates who have applied on a requisition that has specific locations.
