Frequently asked questions

More in the FAQ and Help centre.

Is candidate data handled securely?+

Yes. Encrypted, kept in your workspace, never used to train models. Candidates can request their record be removed.

Does it replace my ATS?+

Kahu runs the front of the agency today: job pages with apply forms and CV upload, a contact record for each enquiry, interview booking, and candidate and client messages.

Can candidates confirm shifts by text?+

Shift offers go by SMS on your tap, and replies land in your SMS inbox for you to action.

Can consultants approve their own messages?+

Owners and admins approve, and consultants can see what is waiting.
