AI-generated from the code · Odoo 17.0

When you hire a candidate from a job application, all files attached to that candidate are automatically copied to the new employee record, so the employee's document list is complete from day one.

This module links recruitment and employee document management. When a user uses the standard "Create Employee" action on a candidate (in the Recruitment app), the module automatically copies every file attached to that candidate onto the newly created employee.

  • The copy happens right after the employee record is created, so no extra clicks are needed.
  • Only files attached to the candidate record itself are copied; the originals stay on the candidate.
  • The copied files appear in the employee's document area, which is provided by the Employee Document module.
  • The module works on the hr.applicant model and creates copies of ir.attachment records linked to hr.employee.

There are no new menus, buttons, reports, checks or scheduled jobs. The behaviour is automatic and silent, and it only applies when the employee is created from the applicant form.
