Where master attributes are used

• Candidate Profiles:
  While parsing or manually entering resumes, attributes like Skills, Education, etc. can be tagged for easier search and classification.
• Job Creation:
  Assign required skills or qualifications to job listings for better match scoring.
• Filters & Reports:
  Use attributes to:
  • Filter candidates
  • Generate skill-based hiring analytics
  • Match candidates to jobs based on relevant tags

Tips

• Periodically review and clean up unused or duplicate attributes.
• Encourage recruiters to consistently use the available attributes rather than entering custom text.
• Use bulk upload (if available) to add large lists of skills or certifications.
