Custom fields

Take full control of your candidate profiles by adding custom fields that capture the exact data you need for every role, client, and hiring workflow.

Custom fields feature review

Custom fields for candidate profiles give recruiters the flexibility to structure candidate data in a way that matches how they actually hire.

Instead of relying on generic profiles, you can define exactly what information should be captured and displayed. For sales roles, track metrics like average deal size, experience selling to enterprise or SMB, or achievements such as President’s Club. For technical roles, capture programming languages, frameworks, certifications, or project experience in a consistent format.

With flexible input types including single choice, multi-select options, sliders, and text fields, you can build structured candidate profiles that are easy to scan and compare.

This approach turns every candidate profile into a standardized, high-signal dataset. Recruiters can quickly filter candidates, align with client requirements, and make faster, more confident placement decisions. It also keeps your recruitment CRM clean, searchable, and built around real hiring criteria instead of scattered notes.
