How to Cancel a candidate in Keka HRMS instead of hiring them?

When a candidate is marked as hired in Keka Hire, their details appear in Keka → Org → Hiring → Offers.
Admins can then move these candidates into the employee database.

However, if a hired candidate does not join the organization, you’ll need to cancel their candidature to keep records accurate.

1. Go to Org from the left navigation menu.

2. Click Hiring.

3. Open the Offers tab.

4. Under Employee Offers, locate candidates whose preboarding is completed.

5. Search for the candidate you want to cancel.

6. Under Actions, click Options → Cancel Candidature.

   

7. In the pop-up window, enter the Reason for Cancellation.

8. Click Cancel Candidature to confirm.

   

That’s it! The candidate’s status will be updated, and their hiring record will no longer appear in the active offers list.
