    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?+

    For small agencies, Kahu CRM is the ATS: applications, screening, shortlist, interviews and placements. Larger agencies run it beside their ATS for marketing and conversations.

    Can candidates confirm shifts on WhatsApp?+

    Yes. Shift offers, confirmations and changes run through the WhatsApp Inbox and update the record.

    Can consultants approve their own messages?+

    Yes. Approvals can sit with the consultant, a team lead or the director, per message type.
