Here is an example of Zylker Corp's Candidate Portal 

This the login page of Zylker Corp.



Quinn Rivers creates an account with Zylker Corp. by filling the registration form that is displayed when he clicks Create an account on the Login page.

 


After he creates the account with Zylker Corp., he goes to the Login page to log in to his profile.


He can now view his personal, education, and experience details on his profile. He can edit or delete the information he has provided whenever he wants to by clicking on the Edit button on each tab. The resume tab will contain the resume that he used initially to register with Zylker's Candidate Portal. The Skills tab displays skills that were parsed from his resume and also allows him to edit and add skills manually. Updating a new resume will also result in the  updation of skills in the Skills tab. He can also add Cover letters and other documents under the Attachments tab.

Note: When a new resume is uploaded, the existing skills in the Skills tab will be replaced with new ones from the resume. But skills that were either edited or added manually will not be replaced.



The Jobs section has two tabs, Current Openings and Applied Jobs. The Current Openings tab displays the jobs that Zylker has published on their website. Quinn can open a job and apply for it with just a few clicks. The Applied Jobs tab contains a list of all the jobs that Quinn has applied for.
