Creating an assignment for submitting resumes/CVs


Before we get into specifics it is necessary to agree on a framework for how we will set up our Moodle site for recruiting new employees. For simplicity, we recommend setting up separate Moodle sites for internal and external processes. There are ways to enable both on the same site, but it adds a level of complexity. Additionally, there are some add-ons for Moodle to help you manage multiple sites. We will explain these in Chapter 8, Integrating Moodle with Other Systems. For the purposes of this chapter, we will assume that we are using a Moodle site just for the hiring process.

In the previous chapter, you learned how to create a course. On our Moodle site, there will be a course for each position available. Creating a course for each position will simplify the course creation process and make the interface simpler for the applicant.
