šTailor Your Candidate and Job Data Collection with Occupop
Occupop is excited to introduce a powerful new feature: Custom Fields. This functionality allows hiring companies to define and collect specific fields or parameters that are relevant to their recruitment process. With Custom Fields, you have the flexibility to gather information that suits your unique hiring needs, whether itās for candidates or job postings.
What Are Custom Fields?
Custom Fields empower you to go beyond the default data collected by the Occupop system. For example, if your hiring process requires gathering a candidateās date of birthāa field not collected by defaultāyou can now easily create and integrate this field into your workflow.Ā
To support this feature, weāve made several updates to the front end of Occupop:
š Custom Field Creation: You can now create new fields directly from the Custom Fields settings. This feature is highly adaptable, allowing you to define data relevant to either a candidate (e.g., date of birth š) or a job (e.g., salary range š°).
š Form Integration: Once a Custom Field is created, it can be seamlessly integrated into forms and documents used within the Occupop system. This ensures that the data you need is collected directly from candidates during the application process.
š Data Collection and Display: After a form with Custom Fields is completed by a candidate, the information is automatically visible on their Candidate Profile. This streamlined process ensures that all relevant data is easily accessible to your hiring team.
š Confidential Information Handling: For fields that collect sensitive information, such as tax numbers, you can mark these as āconfidentialā. Confidential fields are hidden by default and are only accessible to the āsuper adminā, ensuring privacy and security.
šLocation-Specific Display: Custom Fields can be configured to appear only in specific locations within the system. This means you can control where and when particular data is displayed, making your candidate profiles clean and relevant.
š ļø Use Case: Creating and Using a Custom Field
Letās walk through a typical use case to illustrate how this new feature works:
You can apply custom fields to:
- Candidate Data: These fields apply specifically to the candidate (e.g., date of birth) and can be collected via the application form or through the candidateās profile.
- Job Data: These fields apply to the specific job being advertised (e.g., salary range) and are typically displayed on the job advertisement.
To start with: click on your Settings-> Custom Fields->Create a New Custom Field-> Enter the name of the field (e.g., Date of Birth).
You can choose whether this data relates to a candidate or a job and whether the data you are collecting is sensitive. If it is sensitive information, you can select 'Yes,' and the information will be blurred for users without access and visible only to those who have the appropriate permissions:
You can add a description to these custom fields and select the field input type from the drop-down list. You can also decide if this field is required by selecting 'Yes' or 'No.' Once you're satisfied, click 'Create Custom Field.'
By clicking on the location, you can toggle on and decide whether the custom fields are displayed to an Occupop user or a candidate:
You can edit an existing custom field by clicking on the green pen icon. You can also delete, enable, or disable it using the bulk action drop-down menu by selecting the custom field(s) you need to amend:
š Integrating with Forms: After creating the Date of Birth field, you can add it to a form intended for candidates. When candidates fill out this form, their date of birth will be captured and displayed on their Candidate Profile.
ā ļø *Note: Custom fields wonāt be supported for direct applications (Indeed). Fields marked as "sensitive" are only visible to the Super Admin. Once created, custom fields for candidates will appear on the candidate profile and can be edited after submission.
šÆ The introduction of Custom Fields is a significant enhancement to the Occupop system, offering unparalleled flexibility in data collection and management. Whether you need to gather additional candidate information or specify job-related data, Custom Fields makes it easy to customize your hiring process. Start using Custom Fields today and take full control of your recruitment data.
