Capture candidate basics, role applied for and source channel in one structured intake, so recruiters replace inbox chaos with a clean pipeline record.
Quick answer
Candidate details scattered across inboxes and resumes get one consistent record here — basics, role, source channel, resume attached — so referrals and pipeline quality can be reviewed later.
Résumé dropboxes and email threads lose context fast. This intake keeps basics, applied role, source channel and next-step notes in one consistent record — so a colleague picking up the thread days later sees the full picture without digging through mail folders.
