Skills can be added or edited where required.

Flagging a Candidate

From time to time, you might want to indicate that a candidate should stand out, whether for positive or negative reasons.
By clicking on the flag, located next to the candidate name, you are able to add this identifier as well as notes for others to view.

Once you click on the flag, you will be given the option to make notes for the flag you have added.

Each flag, and note, is viewable and editable, offering an audit of activity and transparency in the system to your recruitment team.
