Dig into the EazyRecruit capabilities and features to know more.
 
**Open Source Software**: EazyRecruit is open source software. Which means it is free (no cost) to use, and you are free to modify it in (almost) any way you want. Seriously, if you can do it, get down into the code and change absolutely anything! Support: It also means support may be hard to find. We have an active community of people that are willing to help as much as possible though. Also, we are slowly adding to our documentation.
It is easy: EazyRecruit has an easy to use, intuitive interface. This means minimal training time for you and your recruiters. The job portal has a simple search and application process that your candidates will get through easily.
 
**Web based or local**: EazyRecruit can be installed in a variety of environments. For the solo recruiter/single user, EazyRecruit can be installed on your local computer, accessible only by you. EazyRecruit can also be installed and accessible via the internet, through a public facing web server, so multiple users from all over the world can access and use EazyRecruit together. Keep in mind though, that because EazyRecruit is open source software, security is your responsibility. Make sure the appropriate measures are taken for the setup that you choose. Full recruiting life-cycle: EazyRecruit provides the infrastructure for the entire recruiting life-cycle, regardless of the type of role that you are recruiting for, or the volume of openings that you are dealing with.
Note: EazyRecruit can work well for very high-volume recruiting. Importing and dealing with many candidates at once per role is allowed in EazyRecruit. We can walk you through the process, including the sales cycle, from building targeted lead lists, making client calls, getting signed agreements and taking job orders. It will handle all of recruiting, from job posting and applications, to initial candidate intake, scheduling the interview, offer, acceptance and candidate start. EazyRecruit was designed by recruiters, for recruiters and continues to be developed with recruiting as the sole focus.
 
**Skills based tagging**: Skill based tagging in EazyRecruit serves as a very functional alternative to keyword searching. Within EazyRecruit one can make a list of skill-sets required on the job. The candidates matching that criteria then can be narrowed down easily.
 
**Calendar**: EazyRecruit has a rich calendar built in that provides a thorough and accurate overview of interview schedules. If you use the calendar system, you will always know what is coming up, and be able to quickly find information from past scheduled events. The calendar can be synced with Google for calendar import and access.
 
**Ownership of data**: You own the data control and its security. No need for your data to be on someone else’s servers, unless that is how you choose to do it. Backup and restore: Your EazyRecruit system can be backed up as often as you want, ensuring no loss of data, ever. 

**User access levels**: Currently there are different access levels for users in the EazyRecruit system, which the administrator can set up and assign. 

**Built in Emailing**: The email functionality within EazyRecruit is substantial. Currently, EazyRecruit can be used to send emails to candidates, clients, and contacts. It can also be used to notify of status changes and new applications, or anything you would like it to do.
