What an exit switches off
The record stays, because you still need the history. What stops is everything that assumes the person is still coming in on Monday.
Recruitment and onboarding
In most companies the candidate record and the employee record are different systems, so somebody retypes a person on their first day — name, address, bank details, the lot. Here the application becomes the employee, and the things a joiner needs in their country are already on a list.
What a joiner needs, by country
The handover
The expensive part of hiring is not the advert. It is the five handovers between systems, each of which loses something and none of which anybody owns.
The other end
An exit is where companies leak: access left on, a final payment missed, a device nobody chased. It runs on the same machinery as joining, in reverse, and it switches things off rather than hoping somebody remembers to.

What it still chases
Each outstanding item has somebody responsible for it rather than sitting on a shared list that belongs to nobody in particular.
What it will not do
Settling the last payment is a decision somebody signs, not something that happens because a date passed.
Before you ask
It is a light one: postings, applications, stages and the handover into employment. If you are running high-volume hiring with sourcing, scheduling and assessment tooling, a dedicated ATS will beat it and we will say so on the call.
Yes. An application is a record against the posting; the person does not need to be a user of anything to make one.
That is the point of them. The statutory registrations a joiner needs in Cyprus are not the ones they need in India, and the checklist is built from where the person actually sits.
It stays against the posting with its history until you remove it, and removing it is a real delete that is logged. We do not quietly keep a shadow copy for analytics.
Bring a real joiner
Walk us through what actually happened in their first week: who typed what into which system, and what was still missing on day three. That conversation is more useful than any feature list, and it tells us quickly whether this is worth your time.
