I have setup the roles for recruiters and applicants. My recruiter users are unable to view the list of submitted applications. They instead get a message which says "No job applications." The only user who can view this list is the admin user. I have even tried giving the recruiter role full permissions, but they still cannot view the list. If I change a user's role to administrator, they are then able to view the list. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I've noticed this, too. What I ended up doing was building a view to replace the always empty listing at job/applications

Thanks for this great module! I had this problem as well and solved it with a view - thanks christefano for the idea.

What was the view filter that you setup to only get the right applications?..... I am trying to get a view to list the jobs the logged in user has applied for, but there are no filter criteria to do this, any ideas?

Tim, make sure u have enabled the recruiter to access resumes from access control. Than check /job/applications you should be able to see something.

I have returned to this issue after a long hiatus. I have the view created to replace the built-in applications queue. I have a field which displays the node ID of the resume that was submitted, but I need a way to provide a link to it. Any ideas?

You can do that by using the theme wizard in views, and then formatting the nid to be a link.

I am exploring this option, but I'm completely overwhelmed. I may be in over my head. I don't really know where to start.

@raddevon:

go to admin/build/views and click on the Theming Wizard tab. There you can generate the code necessary to paste into template.php etc. It will tell you where to paste the code and what customtpm.php file to create etc. In the custom tpl.php file you would have to created, you can then format the nid into being a link.

I have the view setup the way I want now, but it is blank for all users except the admin. I thought it was a permissions issue, but I gave the role every permission and the view still says it is empty. Two applications have been submitted and are visible when logged in as the admin user. Any ideas?

Try going to admin/content/node-settings and rebuilding the node permissions.

You can also try going to admin/build/views/tools and clearing the Views cache.

Ofcourse if I were you I would back up the database before I do these things.

Thanks for the feedback. I tried both of these to no avail. Do you have any other suggestions?

The job that was created, was it created by the recruiter/employer who you are trying to view job applications for? Or was the job created by admin?

The job was created by the admin.

That might be your problem. Change the author of the job to the employer who you are trying to view job applications for.

If you really think about it, Company A (the employer) is trying to view job applications for a job that was posted by Company B (the admin in your case).

So, users (with correct permissions, of course) will only see submitted applications for jobs they themselves have created? Or is this based on the role? If I have a number of users within the same role that can view submitted applications, will they all see the same submitted applications or will they see only applications to those jobs they individually have created?

Users will only see job applications for jobs they have created themselves. This is how its supposed to be and realistically, it makes the most sense.

Can you confirm that the employer is now seeing the job applications for the job he/she created so that I can mark this issue as fixed?

Our system is live, and, as such, I am not able to add jobs to it for testing purposes.
