This tutorial walks you through setting up two objects in the Caraer app — Candidate and Vacancy — and adding properties so you can manage recruitment data.
- An Candidate object with properties such as name, email, phone, and application status
- A Vacancy object with properties such as title, department, location, and status
- A clear structure you can reuse for other objects in your environment
- Access to the Caraer app with permission to create and edit objects
- A basic idea of which fields you need for candidates and vacancies
- In the Caraer app, go to the area where you manage objects (often under Settings or Configuration).
- Click Create object (or Add object).
- Set the name to Candidate (and a technical key/slug if your app asks for one, e.g.
candidate). - Save the object. You now have an empty Candidate object.
Add properties so each candidate record can hold the right information. For example:
| Property name | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Full name | Text | Single-line name |
| Contact email | ||
| Phone | Phone | Contact number |
| Application status | Single select | e.g. New, In progress, Hired, Rejected |
| Applied for | Relation | Link to Vacancy (add after Step 4) |
| Notes | Long text | Internal notes |
For each property:
- Open the Candidate object and go to Properties (or the equivalent section).
- Click Add property.
- Choose the type (Text, Email, Phone, Single select, Relation, Long text, etc.).
- Give it a label (e.g. "Full name", "Email") and, if required, a key (e.g.
fullName,email). - Configure any options (e.g. for Single select, add the status values; for Relation, you'll link to Vacancy once that object exists).
- Save the property.
Repeat for all Candidate properties. You can add more later (e.g. CV, source, date applied).
- Go back to the object list and click Create object again.
- Set the name to Vacancy (and key/slug e.g.
vacancy). - Save. You now have a Vacancy object.
Add properties that describe a vacancy:
| Property name | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Title | Text | Job title |
| Department | Single select | e.g. Engineering, Sales |
| Location | Text | Office or remote |
| Status | Single select | e.g. Open, Filled, Closed |
| Description | Long text | Job description |
| Candidates | Relation | Link to Candidate |
Create each property the same way as for Candidate. For Candidates, create a Relation property that points to the Candidate object (and optionally set it as a list on the Vacancy side). If you added "Applied for" on Candidate, link that relation to Vacancy so Candidate and Vacancy are connected both ways.
- Candidate: Create records for each applicant; fill in name, email, phone, application status, and link "Applied for" to the right Vacancy.
- Vacancy: Create records for each job; fill in title, department, location, status, description, and see linked Candidates.
You can now use lists, views, and (if available) forms or workflows on these objects.
