Save Job Application Responses in Candidate Profile

Automatically save the answers candidates provide when applying for a job. These responses are stored directly in the candidate’s profile, making it easier for you and your clients to access the information without sifting through individual applications. This feature is especially useful when you want clients to view the candidate’s responses within their profile, streamlining the hiring process and ensuring all relevant data is easily accessible. This documentation will guide you through the steps to set up job application forms that automatically save candidates' answers to their profile.

Let’s get started 🚀

Step 1: Create a Job Application Form for the specific position where you want to save the candidate’s responses when they fill out the form.

Step 2: Ensure that the question(s) you added while creating the job application form in step 1 are also incorporated as fields within a section in the candidate’s profile.

For demonstration purposes, we have created a Job Application Form titled WILLIAM FAMILY and included the following two questions in the form:

1. Will you be using private or public transportation?

2. Are you flexible and able to stay later than the estimated daily end-time?

And created a new section titled Specific Details, containing the same questions as those included in the Job Application Form.

Then, added the Specific Details section to the Candidate’s Profile.

To learn more about creating and adding a new section to the Profile, refer to the Adding a new section to the profile and/or application document.

Step 3: Open the Job Application Form you created in Step 1 by clicking on it.

Step 4: Click the arrow shown in the screenshot below to expand the field (question) details.

Step 5: In the Related Candidate Model Field dropdown, select the same question as in the Field Label field.

To make the same question (as in the Field Label field) appear in the Related Candidate Model Field dropdown, you must execute Step 2 properly.

Step 6: Repeat step 5 for the remaining questions, and then click the Save button to proceed.

Now, when the candidate answers the job application questions, the system automatically saves the answers to their profile.
