CORE HR: Manage Confidential Candidates in Hiring

Confidential Hiring helps organisations protect candidate information during sensitive hiring processes by restricting candidate access to authorised users.

With this release, you can:

• Mark candidates as Confidential to restrict access to authorised users.
• Allow access only to the Job Creator, Hire Admin, assigned Hiring Manager, assigned Interviewers, and Super Recruiters with Private Candidate Permission.
• Continue sourcing, screening, interviewing, moving candidates through hiring stages, and archiving confidential candidates.
• Identify confidential candidates with a Confidential indicator in List and Board Views.
• Restrict confidential candidates from appearing in reports, analytics, searches, and API results for unauthorised users.
• Suppress relevant hiring, onboarding, task, and employee-related notifications to prevent accidental disclosure.

Phase 1 limitations

Offer and task workflows are not supported for confidential candidates. You cannot create or release offers, assign tasks, or trigger onboarding/preboarding automations. Confidential candidates can be added as employees, but Initiate Onboarding remains disabled.

Only the Job Creator can mark or unmark a candidate as Confidential.
