Define the hiring stages and candidate ownership rules before importing resumes. Test one vacancy from initial applicant entry through interviews and placement, keeping notes and status changes consistent so another recruiter can understand the candidate’s history.
Use a retention policy for applicant documents and restrict access to hiring staff who need it. OpenCATS is self-hosted software, so upgrades and backups are part of the deployment. Its original CATS code retains license requirements alongside newer MPL-licensed contributions.
