Employment Fields are structured data fields that are used to track a candidate's employment history. In this article we will cover how to input a candidate's employment record into employment fields, activate employment fields on job posts, and filter candidates by employment fields.
Note: To be submitted, every employment record must include the following free text employment fields: Company, Title, Start Date, End Date (or current checkbox).
Input Candidate Employment Fields
To manually input an existing candidate's employment record, navigate to the candidate's profile by clicking on the Candidates tab from your Dashboard. Navigate to a candidate's profile by selecting their Name from the list of candidates.
From the candidate's profile page, click Edit Profile.
Navigate to the Employment section of the profile and click Add an Employment. Fill in all employment fields for the record.
Click the checkbox for Current instead of inputting an End Date if the candidate is still employed with the company
A candidate can have multiple employments on record. If you would like to add additional employment records, click + Add another and fill in all fields for the additional employment record.
When you have finished, navigate to the bottom of the page and click Save.
