Careers Overview

The Careers module manages hiring from an internal requisition through a published job, candidate applications, screening, interviews, assessments, offers, and the supported onboarding/offboarding lifecycle.

The module has two main experiences:

• Candidate / Applicant Guide: for applicants who browse jobs, create a candidate account, complete their profile, apply, track applications, book interviews, and respond to offers.
• HR / Recruitment Guide: for HR, recruiters, and hiring teams who create requisitions, publish jobs, review applications, schedule interviews, manage assessments, and send offers.

Note

This documentation describes the Careers features found in the current implementation. It does not include generic ATS behavior that was not present in the codebase.
