In this article, you may find out how to change some settings related to candidates in RecMan.
The Candidate settings (System settings → Candidates) have several options. In this article, we will go through them one by one.
General permissions
Define what general permissions to enable for all, none or specific co-workers.
Candidate attributes
Candidate attributes are custom data fields that may be connected to candidates in RecMan. This allows specific filtering. An attribute can be applied to a candidate; however, it also works as a question for the candidate to answer. This means that you can share it with all your candidates, and they will be prompted with these attribute questions when they log into their profiles. Once answered, the attribute will be connected to their candidate card. Here is a dedicated article.
Attribute groups
An attribute group is a group where you can have several attributes. Let’s say you have an attribute group called Programmer; it would make sense for this group to contain attributes related to this.
The attributes group has one use in the system. Once created, the attribute groups will be available when you create a job post. Here, you can add an attribute instead of every single attribute. This means that any candidate applying for the position will get prompted for the attribute questions. This can be very helpful when finding the perfect candidate.
Presentations
The Presentations option lets you change the default of what information should be included in a candidate presentation. You may switch the toggles here to change which sections to include by default when creating a new presentation. Please note that you can always disregard this default when creating your presentation.
Candidate card
Here, you can control which fields are visible on the candidate and employee card and set default values for selected fields (e.g., country codes, standard inputs). First, you choose your corporation, which means you can have individual settings for each corporation. With a switch toggle, you can add and remove various fields:
| Section | Example fields |
|---|---|
| Work Terms | HPR number, Working hours, Alternative salary article, Guarantee salary |
| Identity & Banking | IBAN, Construction card, D-Number |
| Position & Status | Seniority, Employment condition, Subcontractor |
| Schedule & Time | Worktime week-limit, Working scheme, Hours a week |
| Payroll & Taxes | Default salary, Tax number, Pension |
| Legal & Documents | Permit to work/stay, Certificate of good conduct, Collective agreements |
By default, all these fields appear under the employee information. If you want to hide some fields, enable only the fields relevant to your corporation, and the disabled ones will disappear from the Employee card.

Custom fields
Available in the new version of RecMan.
Here you can activate custom fields for candidates or employees to be used in the recruitment module or in the employee calendar. You get to choose a unique set of custom fields for each department. The availability option (for All, Employees or Candidates) is currently under development.
Teams
The Teams feature allows you to create, define, and manage teams across your corporation or department. This enables better workforce organization and simplifies various management tasks.
After being created in the Candidate settings teams will be available for use in the Employee calendar. An employee can belong to one or multiple teams. You can specify this under General info in the Employee drawer. Team filtering is also available in the Jobs module for better search across different data levels.
