Setting up the People: Career extension

This guide shows you how to switch on the People: Career extension so you can record work history for employees and candidates. For what the extension does and why you'd use it, see People: Career extension: structured work history for people.

Install and enable

  1. Go to Settings → Marketplace Extensions.
  2. Find the People: Career card (search for "career" if it's quicker), and click it to review the details and required permissions.
  3. Click Install to add it to your system.
  4. Click Enable to switch it on. There are no settings to fill in, so it activates immediately.

Settings

There's nothing to configure — once enabled, a career history section simply appears on each employee and candidate profile, ready to use. You'll find the People area under Settings → People (platform/settings/people) if you want to confirm the extension is active.

Using it day to day

Open any employee or candidate in the People area and you'll see their career timeline. From there you can:

  • Add a career record for each past position — enter the company, title, dates, and a short description.
  • Build up a full timeline as you learn more about a candidate during hiring.
  • When you hire a candidate, their career records transfer automatically to the new employee profile — no re-typing needed.

Tip: capture career history while you're interviewing a candidate. That way, the moment they're hired, their employee file already tells the full story.
