The function to remove candidates from a position directly in the talent database

Until now, it was only possible to remove a candidate from a position in the position details. Now it can also be done in the talent database in the "Candidates in positions" view.

It has a number of advantages, most notably:

  • I can remove a candidate or multiple candidates from multiple positions at once.
  • I can find candidates for removal using all methods of the talent database (full-text, labels, custom fields, etc.).

Removing candidates from a position is primarily used in situations where a candidate has duplicate logged into the same position, a candidate has been manually assigned to the wrong position by mistake, or a candidate has been uploaded repeatedly by mistake due to an error in integration with a third-party system.
