How to Deactivate or Delete a Public Link in Recruitera

Learn how to view, review, and revoke public links to candidates in Recruitera — control external reviewers' access to candidate profiles.

Public links give external reviewers access to specific candidate profiles. The Public Links tab is where you see every shared link, check its status, and revoke access. Links themselves are created from a candidate's Share dialog, not here. This action is available to Admins.

Before you start

  • Required role: Admin

  • Where to find it: Settings → Workflow → Public Links

What the list shows

Open Settings → Workflow → Public Links. Each link shows its Name, Status (Active or Expired), the number of Candidates it exposes, and how many Guest reviews it has received. Row actions let you open the link, share it, edit it, or delete (revoke) it.

How to revoke a public link

  1. Find the link using the search bar.

  2. Click the delete (trash) icon on its row.

  3. In the confirmation dialog, click Delete. Access is revoked immediately — anyone holding the URL, inside or outside the company, loses access.

How links are created

You create a public link from a candidate's own Share dialog, not from this tab — this Settings screen is for viewing and revoking. See How to Create a Public Link for a Job in Recruitera.

Frequently asked questions

How do I stop external access to a shared candidate?

Go to Settings → Workflow → Public Links, find the link, and delete it. Access is revoked immediately for everyone holding that URL.

Why is there no button to create a public link here?

Public links are always created from a candidate's Share dialog, so this tab focuses on viewing and revoking. Open a candidate and use Share to create a new link.
