Deleting a Record

Learn how to delete a record individually or in bulk.

When you delete a candidate, contact, placement, or job record, all related hiring activity stays linked to the other records involved. Bullhorn recommends archiving a record instead of deleting it, since an archived record is easier to reverse. For steps, see Archiving a Record.

Company records can't be deleted — only archived.

Deleting a Record

1. On the record's Edit tab, click the delete button.

2. Confirm the deletion.

After confirming, the record stays open on screen. Click Un-delete to reverse the deletion.

Mass Deleting Records

If you are an administrator, you can delete up to 500 records at once from a list view. If you need to delete more, repeat the steps below for each additional batch.

Placements can't be mass deleted.

1. Go to the list view containing the records you want to delete.

2. Run a search for the records, then select the checkbox in the column header to select all of them — or select individual records using their checkboxes.

3. Click # Selected, then select Mass Delete.

4. On the confirmation window, select Delete.
