Candidate & Job Fields

Introduction

In Keka Hire, you can configure custom fields for both candidates and jobs to collect exactly the data your team needs.

• Candidate fields appear when applicants apply for jobs on your careers page.

• Job fields show up when creating job postings or requisitions.

By default, Keka Hire provides a number of system-defined fields. However, you can also add new fields or edit existing ones to suit your organization’s needs.
