What Recruitment Custom Fields Are Used For

Recruitment Custom Fields are used to:

  • Capture organization-specific candidate information

  • Add custom data points to recruitment records

  • Adapt recruitment data to internal hiring processes

Custom fields help tailor RecruitEdge to your hiring needs.

Where These Apply

Once configured, Recruitment Custom Fields can appear in:

  6. Set whether the field is Required or Optional

  7. Configure visibility settings if available

  8. Click Save

The custom field becomes available immediately.

How To Manage Custom Fields

From the Custom Fields list, Admin users can:

  • View existing custom fields

  • Edit field name, type, or settings

  • Disable or remove custom fields

Changes affect future data entry.

Important Rules to Know

Best Practices
