Candidates


The Candidates module is designed to manage and monitor recruitment processes. It allows you to view resumes, track positions applied for, manage proposed starting dates, store salary details, and more. You can add comments for reviewers, rate candidate skills, store and share files, and enable time tracking against candidates.

In the configuration view, you can turn time tracking on or off for candidates and adjust related settings. You can also manage file types, which are displayed in columns showing the file name, the entity/module it belongs to, the file format, and the maximum allowed file size in MB. The action icon at the end of each row lets you edit file type settings or restore them to default.

You can activate or deactivate the module by toggling the switch in the top right corner of the screen.
