Candidates can log in, update their profiles, upload documents, view job matches, and chat with recruiters directly from their mobile devices for a convenient, modern experience. ### How secure is the information shared via the Candidate Portal? ATZ CRM prioritises data security with advanced encryption, secure login protocols, role-based access controls, and GDPR-compliant handling practices. Every piece of candidate data, from documents to messages, is protected using enterprise-grade security measures that keep your talent pool safe and confidential. ### Can candidates book interviews directly through the portal? Yes. Candidates can use the built-in scheduling tools within the portal to book interviews based on recruiter availability.
