Candidate Attributes are points of information we gather from candidates through the interview questions. Candidate Attributes help us categorize specific information collected in the recruitment process, for example, English Level, BPO Experience, etc.
Here's Perry from the Product support team for a quick video guide.
How to add a New Candidate Attribute
1. Click the Leads Tab dropdown menu and select Candidate Attributes.
2. Click the button Add a candidate attribute.
3. Name your Candidate Attribute (it should be short and easy to recall).
4. Select the Data Type (Text, Number, Date). This is to categorize each data which will affect search and filters properly.
5. Optionally you can add Suggested Values. Fill this out with the values that the Candidate Attribute can have in order to save time when configuring Autoflows, Job Matching, and adding data manually to an application. Separate the values by a comma ("Less than one year of experience, One year of experience, Over one year of experience"). There is no limit to the number of values that can be added to the suggested values field.
6. Check your Advanced Settings to manage when this attribute will be available on the candidate’s profile. Here’s what they mean:
Automatically Add to all future candidates: New candidates will automatically have this attribute on their Candidate Profile.
Always shows this attribute across all applications: If a candidate has multiple applications across different campaigns, this attribute will sync in all their profiles. Even if a campaign is archived, the candidate attributes should still display on the active ones.
Mark data as private: This attribute will be private and will not be available when sharing candidate profiles with guests.
Restrict Candidate Attributes to Owners: Only users with Owner access can view this candidate attribute.
Allow to be used only with Suggested Values: Limit input to only the Suggested Values for Autoflow, Job Matching, Questions, and Manual data input.
7. Don’t forget to hit Save, once done.
Note - accepted date format for the system to recognize the date:
