ATS-CANDIDATE-CRM

The candidate-relationship backbone of an ATS, masters candidates (including the `prospect` lifecycle state), recruitment sources, agencies, and events. Structurally the same shape as standalone candidate-CRM products. Folds the AI-RECRUIT capability (resume parsing, ML matching, screening assistants) since those tools operate on `candidates` and are tightly bound to candidate workflows.

Entity summary

Name Description
Candidates Person known to the recruiting org, with or without an active application. Carries contact details, resume, tags, GDPR consent, and source. Distinct from Employee until hired.
Recruitment Agencies Third-party recruiter or staffing firm supplying candidates. Tracks contract terms, contact, performance, and the candidates they have submitted.
Recruitment Events Career fair, on-campus event, hackathon, or meetup used as a sourcing channel. Tracks attendees, captured leads, and event ROI.
Recruitment Sources Channel a candidate came from: job board, referral, agency, sourcing campaign, career event, or inbound. Used for source-of-hire analytics and channel ROI.
Skill Profiles Per-worker collection of skills with self-assessed and validated proficiency levels, derived from completed courses, certifications, performance signals, and inferred peer-comparison. The central artifact of HCM-side skills-cloud and talent-intelligence offerings.
Career Aspirations Worker-declared career interest: target roles, mobility preferences (geographic, functional), aspired timeline. Drives internal-mobility matching.
