MY PROFILE

Your candidates will be able to update the following information within their profile:

  1. Basic personal information

  2. Preferred job type - perm / contract / temp

  3. Compensation info & expectations

  4. Work experience

  5. Education

  6. Skills

JOB APPLICATIONS

See all the jobs they have applied for including:

  1. Job application status

  2. Consent status

  3. Ability to opt-out or withdraw consent per job

JOB ALERTS

ONBOARDING

This is where your candidates upload the required documents for their jobs. They will be able to see the onboarding documents required of them and track their progress.

Pro tip: You’ll be able to specify the types of documents you’d like your candidates to upload. This can be anything from special compliance documents like audit I-9 and W-4 forms, driver’s licenses or even their dog’s or cat's birth certificate (if you really must), simply add it as an item on the list.

Candidates can request for their data to be deleted simply by clicking and confirming that they would like to be forgotten under Settings.

What happens when a candidate clicks on ‘Request to be forgotten’? 

Your candidates will be presented with the following screen to confirm their decision:

If the candidate decides to proceed with the action, the Job owner and the Candidate owner will receive the following notifications:

  1. Email notification

  2. In-app notification

From the jobs applications page on the Candidate portal, candidates can easily withdraw consent per job.
