Configure Candidate Security for Candidate Search

When you enable candidate security for candidate search, recruiters and Hiring Team members can see candidates that they're responsible for by Country, Person Type, and Recruiting Type.

Using candidate security, your organization can define candidate security profile, data role, and assign it to right set of users.

Note: This feature requires Oracle Search.
