When adding an existing candidate to a new job application, the system automatically pre-populates all relevant candidate data based on their most recent application.

This includes:

  • All personal information

  • CV, cover letter and additional documents

  • Portfolio

  • Salary expectation

  • Right to work info

  • And more!

Users are only required to:

  • Review the pre-populated fields, and only make changes if necessary

  • Confirm and submit the new application

Pre-filled data is inherited from the candidate’s latest available application, reducing the need for manual re-entry.
