Introduction
Pocket HRMS has revamped the candidate addition flow structure, which is different from the old one. In this new flow, we have implemented the modules to help the recruiter undertake the recruitment process in a streamlined manner. For carrying out the recruitment process, we have placed the ‘Hire’ module in the menu list to conduct the candidate-related operations efficiently.
In this blog, we will understand how candidates are added during the recruitment process with step-by-step instructions and images for reference.
