Candidate portal

Give candidates a secure place to keep their information current.

Candidates can check their details, upload a CV, share documents and manage privacy choices from their own portal. Assigned questionnaires and documents waiting for e-signature appear when they need attention.

One connected workflow

Invite once. Let candidates handle the routine updates.

The candidate gets a focused self-service experience; your consultants keep working from the CRM they already use.

  1. 01

    Send a personal invite

    Invite a candidate from their Portal tab or the Portal Links grid action. Recruit So Simple generates a fresh, personal portal link at send time.

  2. 02

    The candidate self-serves

    They can update contact details, upload files and complete any questionnaire or signature action assigned to them.

  3. 03

    The record stays useful

    Uploaded files, questionnaire answers and candidate choices remain connected to the candidate’s record for your team.

Candidate self-service

Let candidates look after the information they know best.

Give candidates access to the parts of their record that make sense for them to maintain: contact details, their current CV, supporting documents and privacy choices.

Their name remains read-only, while the sections you enable stay clearly available from the portal navigation.

Candidate-facing navigation and outstanding actions.
Portal settings

Choose exactly what candidates can see and do.

Switch personal details, CV uploads, document uploads, privacy and consent, document signing and questionnaires on or off independently.

You can also choose whether a replacement CV removes the older file, while disabled portal sections are hidden and blocked even by a direct link.

Structured requests

Turn repeat candidate admin into reusable workflows.

Build the request once, assign it when needed and keep the response with the candidate.

Question sets

Create reusable questionnaires with short or long answers, yes/no choices, multiple choice, dates, file uploads and acknowledgements. Answers return to the candidate’s Portal tab.

Document packs

Group routinely requested documents into a pack and request them together. Packs can be auto-requested when a candidate is first invited.

Document signing

Documents sent for e-signature appear in the portal only when that candidate has one waiting, keeping the navigation focused.

Your candidate experience

Use your branding and your own words.

Set the portal welcome message and invite email, including merge fields for the candidate, company and personal portal link. Your account branding supplies the logo, icon and website, privacy and terms links candidates see.

What a fantastic start to the New Year guys - I love the updates to the system. I’m already making use of the new filtering and reporting options. Thanks for all the great support I received last week as well...

I’m a long time user of RSS - over three years now - and I can’t recommend them highly enough. On the occasions that I’ve contacted their technical support, the response times are extremely fast. This is of great...
