What are the lifecycle stages of a Candidate in Kinatico Compliance?
Candidates in Kinatico Compliance move through three lifecycle stages from the moment their record is created. Once a candidate is Active and has met your organisation's required compliance requirements, an administrator makes a hiring decision that determines the final outcome. Understanding these stages helps you track where each candidate is in your pre-employment process.
What You'll Need:
- System Admin, System Owner, or Hiring Manager access to the Kinatico Compliance Admin Portal
Lifecycle Stages

Inactive
The candidate record has been created in the system, but no requirements have been assigned yet.
Pending
One or more requirements have been assigned to the candidate. At this point, they receive their first email from Kinatico Compliance, which:
- Prompts them to download the Kinatico Compliance mobile app
-
Invites them to create their account
Active
The candidate becomes Active once they've signed in to the app and submitted their first requirement.
Hiring Decisions
Once a candidate is Active and has met your organisation's required compliance requirements, an administrator makes a hiring decision. Hire and Reject are not system statuses, however, they are decisions that determine what happens to the candidate record.
Hire The candidate becomes a worker and moves to Worker's in your People Directory.
💡 Note: Once hired, the worker's compliance status will start contributing to your organisation's overall compliance status.
Reject The candidate is not progressed. Their record is automatically archived and removed from the active Candidate Directory.
💡 Note: The hiring decision always belongs to your organisation. Kinatico Compliance will surface information if screening is incomplete when you attempt to hire, but it will never block you from proceeding.
