The Candidate Portal is a dedicated space where applicants can manage their interactions with a company’s job openings. It allows candidates to maintain a reusable profile, including their experience, education, and resume, to speed up future applications through automatic pre-filling. Through the portal, candidates can also view their submitted applications and view a history of their referrals in one centralized location. ## User Types There are two types of users who can access and use the Candidate Portal, depending on their relationship with the company hosting that careber page: 1. **External Candidates**: Applicants who create an account to apply for public job openings, view their applications, and manage their candidate profile. 2. **Internal Employees**: Current employees who use their company email address to log in and access internal-only job listings and view their referrals. ## Creating an account and log in Important Candidates can submit an application without logging in (account creation is optional for public roles). ### Sign up / log in 1.
