How to Enable Optional Candidate Attachments in Horilla HRMS

Recruitment processes are evolving to meet the dynamic needs of modern organizations. One size no longer fits all, especially when it comes to managing candidate information. To cater to diverse requirements, Horilla HRMS introduces a powerful feature: optional candidate attachments.

This functionality provides recruiters with the flexibility to enable or disable the attachment requirement during recruitment creation. Whether you’re dealing with large candidate pools or tailoring specific hiring workflows, optional attachments streamline the process without compromising on customization or efficiency.

With this feature, candidates can submit their applications without feeling constrained by mandatory attachment requirements.

Recruiters, on the other hand, gain the ability to decide when attachments are necessary. This flexibility reduces friction in the hiring process, accommodates varied recruitment scenarios, and ensures a smoother experience for both candidates and HR teams.

By balancing choice and convenience, Horilla HRMS empowers organizations to focus on finding the best talent while maintaining operational simplicity.

Workflow:
During the creation of a new recruitment, the admin has the option to enable or disable the attachments feature. If it is enabled, the attachment fields are not mandatory when creating a new candidate for that recruitment.

Optional Profile Image:

• Navigate to Recruitment -> Create new recruitment

• If the feature is not enabled, a profile image for the candidate must be specified before saving.
• Navigate to Candidates -> Create new Candidate on that particular recruitment.

• If the feature is enabled, specifying a profile image is not mandatory. It can be added optionally, as desired, but it is not required.

Optional Resume:

• Similar to the optional profile image, there is also an option to enable or disable the resume section during the creation of a recruitment.

• If the feature is not enabled during the creation of recruitment, providing a resume for the candidate becomes mandatory when creating a new candidate for that recruitment.

• If the feature is enabled, specifying a candidate’s resume when creating candidates is not required. It can be added optionally.
