me.josephsf.jobportaljosephsfeir.model.Candidate
public class Candidate extends Object
Model class representing a job candidate's profile in the Job Portal system.

The Candidate entity contains detailed professional information about users with the CANDIDATE role. This includes personal details, professional background, education, skills, and preferences relevant to job seeking. Each Candidate is linked to a User entity through the userId field.

Candidate profiles are stored in the "candidates" collection in MongoDB. Each document maintains a one-to-one relationship with a document in the users collection.

Candidate documents include:

  • Personal information (name, contact details, location)
  • Professional background (current title, experience level, years of experience)
  • Technical and soft skills
  • Work experience history
  • Educational background
  • Job search preferences and availability
  • Audit timestamps (createdAt, updatedAt)

This profile information is used for job matching, searching, and for displaying candidate details to recruiters.
