Special resume fields
In the resume settings, there are several important fields that are specifically related to resumes. These fields include:
- Searchable for employers: this option is enabled by default. Job seekers can uncheck the box to exclude their resume from search results for all employers. If they later decide to make their resume searchable again, they can simply re-check the box. This is useful for job seekers who are not currently seeking employment and prefer not to receive job offers;
- Exclude employers: this feature allows job seekers to hide their resumes from specific employers. They can use the search function to find and select companies they want to hide their resume from. If the chosen company exists in your job board database, the system will allow them to select it and hide their resume.
- Anonymous: when this option is checked, the system hides certain fields on the job seeker’s resume from employers. The default hidden fields include personal information (such as name, phone number, and email) and file uploads (such as the resume file, cover letter, and photo). The job board administrator can easily configure which fields to hide or reveal.
