A company may receive applications from many candidates once when a vacancy is been published. Sometimes a company could receive so many job applications that it becomes extremely difficult to track down the candidates. This task is highly time-consuming and tedious for the HR department. In order to resolve this concern, OrangeHRM has come up with a feature that helps the user to track down candidates with ease. This feature can be very helpful when shortlisting candidates.
