FILES
-----
recruitment.php : HR/admin recruitment dashboard and workflow
apply.php       : public candidate application form
test.php        : public online test
question_template.csv : CSV template for question upload

UPLOADS
-------
Candidate files are stored under uploads/recruitment/applications.
Question CSV is processed into the recruitment_questions table; the uploaded CSV itself is not required after import.

NOTES
-----
- The QR image uses QuickChart from the browser for convenience. Internet access is needed for the QR image to render.
- The public application form works without HRMS login.
- For a phone to open localhost links, use the PC's LAN IP/hostname instead of localhost when sharing the URL/QR.
- Existing HRMS employee/attendance/payroll tables are not replaced. Recruitment uses separate recruitment_* tables.
