Limited view example: contact details & resume file are hidden
With limited resume access (pay per application model) the employer needs to buy a resume product (package) with limited resume views. Opening a candidate’s resume via resume search or jobs manager’s applications list will require the employer to use 1 resume view. Opening every new resume will require 1 additional resume view item.
With limited resume access (pay per application model) every candidate’s contact and personal information will be hidden by default unless opened by employer with a resume view paid item.
Fields that should be hidden on candidate resumes can easily be customized in admin. To do so, navigate in admin to
