Hi,

You can add the following code for creating an employee when the recruitment stage is changed to 'Contract Signed'

class HrApplicant(models.Model):
    _inherit = 'hr.applicant'

    @api.onchange('stage_id')
    def onchange_stage(self):
        if self.stage_id.hired_stage:
            self.create_employee_from_applicant()

Hope it helps

Hello Faisal,
Yes, it is possible to automate employee creation when a candidate reaches the "Contract Signed" stage in Odoo Recruitment. Here's how you can do it:

Odoo's Built-in Functionality

Odoo has a built-in feature to create an employee record directly from the applicant form:

1. Move the applicant to the "Contract Signed" stage.
2. Click the "Create Employee" button: Once the applicant is in the "Contract Signed" stage, a "Create Employee" button appears in the top-left corner of the applicant's form.
3. Fill out the employee form: Clicking this button opens an employee form pre-filled with information from the applicant's card. You'll need to complete any remaining required fields.
4. Save the employee record: Once completed, the employee record is saved in the Employees app.

Automation via customization

While the "Create Employee" button offers a manual way to do this, you might want to fully automate the process. This typically involves some customization, potentially with a script or Odoo Studio.

• You could potentially use Odoo Studio (if you have Odoo Enterprise) to create a custom automated action that triggers when the stage changes to "Contract Signed." This action would automatically create the employee record.

For more complex scenarios, you might need a Python script (which would likely require the assistance of an Odoo developer) to achieve the desired level of automation and data transfer.

You can automatically create an employee record once a job applicant is marked as “Hired” in the Recruitment module.

 Step-by-Step: Enable Automation

1. Activate Developer Mode
2. Go to:
   Recruitment > Configuration > Settings
3. Enable: ✅ Create employee when hired
4. Now, when you click "Mark as Hired", Odoo will automatically:
   • Convert the applicant into an employee
   • Link their data (name, job position, email) to the new employee record in the HR module
