How does Odoo facilitate recruitment and employee tracking?
OdooERP HR software integrates advanced recruitment management tools, such as:
1.Create and publish jobs easily.
You can create a detailed "Job Position" (department, location, job description, cover letter, etc.) and then post it on the company's website or link it to external job posting channels. This makes access centralized and clear for applicants.
2.A visual, paperless Applicant Tracking System (ATS).
Each applicant becomes a card in the hiring process (Kanban/stage lists) and can be dragged between stages (Review, Interview, Offer, Hire). Each card contains a resume, notes, messages, and scheduled activities. This speeds up candidate screening and avoids lost time.
3.Automate messages and activities.
Each stage can activate an automated email or create an activity (interview/call reminder). SMS messages can also be sent (using credit/internal service). This improves the candidate experience and reduces manual follow-up.
4. Applicants Portal / Web System
Applicants can apply from your website's Careers page, track their application status through the portal, and upload their CVs—all files are centrally stored in the Odoo system.
5. Quick conversion from candidate to employee (Onboard)
Upon acceptance, an offer can be created electronically, its validity can be set, and upon approval by the candidate, their record is automatically converted to an employee record with the ability to create a contract from a ready-made template. This reduces duplicate data entry and shortens transition time.
6. Opportunities to speed up scanning (OCR/AI)
Odoo stores CVs in Documents, and there are also App Store add-ons for CV parsing/AI auto-fill that automatically extract the candidate's name, email, experience, skills, etc., saving data entry time. (These add-ons are often third-party or in-house services that can be purchased.)
