Odoo 20 Recruitment: New Features and Updates

Explore Odoo 20 Recruitment features, applicant tracking improvements, job application workflows, and practical tools to streamline your hiring process.

Finding the right candidate is one of the most important and time-consuming parts of recruitment. HR teams often need to review numerous resumes, compare candidate skills with job requirements, and identify applicants who are suitable for each position.

Odoo 20 Recruitment introduces improvements designed to make candidate evaluation more efficient. With applicant match score filtering and the Fitting Talent view, recruiters can identify relevant profiles more quickly and focus their attention on candidates who meet the requirements of an open position.

In this guide, we explore these Odoo 20 Recruitment features, explain how to configure and use them, compare the updated workflow with traditional candidate screening, and share practical recommendations for improving your hiring process.

Odoo 20 adds two improvements to the Recruitment app to fix this:

Filter by match score

Set a minimum score and see only the applicants who fit your job closely enough.

Fitting talent from the job

Open any job and see its best-matching people right there, ranked by score.

The Odoo 20 Flow at a Glance

This is how one hiring round runs from start to finish:

Step What you do What Odoo does
1 Create the job and add the skills and experience needed Saves the job requirements.
2 Applicants apply Gives each applicant a match score
3 Set a minimum score, for example 70% Shows only the applicants at or above that score
4 Open the fitting talent view on the job Lists the best matches, ranked by score
5 Contact the top people first Keeps everyone on the same list with your hiring team
Why Step 1 matters most?
Odoo compares the job with each applicant. If the job has no skills listed, the score has nothing to compare, so it will not be useful.
Feature 1

Filter Applicants by Match Score in Odoo 20


The applicant match score helps recruiters identify profiles that appear to align with the requirements of a job position. By applying a minimum score filter, HR teams can narrow the applicant list and prioritize candidates for further review.

How to use the match score filter

  1. Open the Recruitment application.
  2. Select the relevant job position and review its applicants.
  3. Open the available search filters.
  4. Apply the match score filter and select an appropriate threshold, if supported by your configuration.
  5. Review the resulting candidates and verify their skills, experience, qualifications, and suitability.

Best practice: Use the score as an initial screening aid rather than an automatic hiring decision. Review the underlying candidate information before rejecting or progressing an applicant.

Feature 2

Find Suitable Candidates from an Odoo 20 Job Position

The Fitting Talent view helps recruiters discover applicants associated with a job position and review them according to their match scores. This makes it easier to begin candidate screening from the job itself rather than repeatedly navigating between different applicant lists.

How to use Fitting Talent

  1. Open the Recruitment application and select a job position.
  2. Locate the Fitting Talent view, if available in your Odoo 20 environment.
  3. Review the candidates and their displayed match scores.
  4. Open individual profiles to examine skills, experience, and qualifications.
  5. Shortlist suitable candidates and coordinate the next steps with the hiring team.

Best practice: Keep job requirements and candidate profiles accurate. Incomplete or outdated information may affect how useful the matching results are.

Together, these features provide a clearer and more efficient way to evaluate applicants and find the right talent for every position.

Frequently Asked Questions

The two improvements covered in this guide are Filter Applicants by Match Score and Fitting Talent from the Job. They help recruiters narrow applicant lists and discover candidates whose profiles align with job requirements.

The applicant match score is a percentage-based indicator of how closely an applicant's profile matches a job's requirements. Recruiters can use it to prioritize candidates for further evaluation, but should also review each applicant's qualifications and experience.

Open the Recruitment application, navigate to the relevant job's applicants, and use the available search filters to apply a match score threshold. The exact menu labels and filter availability should be confirmed in your Odoo 20 database.

Fitting Talent is a job-focused view for reviewing candidates associated with a position according to their match scores. It helps recruiters find potentially suitable applicants without repeatedly searching through separate lists.

Maintain accurate job descriptions, specify relevant skills and experience requirements, and ensure candidate profiles contain complete and up-to-date information. Review the matching results regularly to check whether they reflect the role's actual requirements.

No. A match score should support the screening process, not replace human judgment. Recruiters should consider relevant experience, qualifications, interview performance, and other job-related criteria before making decisions.

No. Candidate matching supports the screening stage, while recruiters still need to conduct interviews, assess applicants, communicate with candidates, and manage hiring decisions according to their recruitment workflow.
