Why is ex-employee considered as Employee before HR Phase

Summary:

Rehire is showing as Employee when searching through Candidate Search

Content (please ensure you mask any confidential information):

I have a rehire named as ABC. We have opened a requisition in 2025 February and this rehire applied to the job. The rehire candidate is in offer phase right now (Note : Merge action is performed). Once the offer is created and extended the Job offer internal notification is being sent.

Issues :

1. When we search the candidate through candidate search page, the candidate details showing as "Employee" instead of Ex-Employee.
2. In the candidate profile of Job Application of the candidate (Requisition—→Applicant), the email is showing the work email which was there when he worked with the organization before.
