Acendre Recruitment Enhancements
Description: This answer data type will allow for sensitive information to be obscured when being entered into free text fields. It will remain obscured when being accessed by candidates in the candidate portal or system users in Acendre Recruitment. This is not a new feature in the system, but it has been reviewed and refined.
How this helps: The obscured functionality introduces a new level of security for sensitive information capture. This is useful when capturing information such as tax file numbers, bank account details or residency information.
How does this differ from our existing Hide From Recruiters functionality?
