If you frequently upload unique file types to your candidates' records that don't match existing file types, such as references, art portfolios, assessments, etc., you can create a custom file type, so those files are available on every candidate's profile and across every job.

Follow these steps to customize a file type or label: 

1. Log in and go to People > Hiring > Applicant Tracking. The Recruiting dashboard appears. 

2. At the top left search for the candidate or click the job the candidate applied for, and then click the candidate's name to see their details screen. 

3. On the top right, click +Add. The Add File popup appears.

4. In the Type of File field, select Custom File Type.

Shows the Add File popup

3. Enter a name for the file type, add a file, click Upload, and then click Save. Your new File Type is available in the Upload list for all candidates moving forward.

Shows the Enter the file type field

4. To delete a custom file type you previously created, click +Add File and then click the red trash can.
