Combined Fields Explained: How HireData Picks a Value

Combined fields, like anyEmailAddress and anyPhoneNumber, make sure your automations always find the right information, even if some fields in Carerix are empty. Keep reading to learn how these fields work and in what order HireData picks a value.

​

Candidate, User and Contact

CarerixCandidate, CarerixUser, and CarerixContact records all use the exact same set of combined fields. Whether you’re working with a candidate’s, a user’s or a contact’s profile, these fields behave the same way.

​

anyEmailAddress

Use anyEmailAddress when you want HireData to always find an email address, no matter which specific field is filled in Carerix. If more than one email field has a value, HireData checks them in this order and uses the first one it finds:

1. businessOrPrivateEmailAddress
2. privateOrBusinessEmailAddress
3. primaryOrBusinessEmailAddress
4. primaryOrPrivateEmailAddress
5. primaryEmailAddress
6. firstEmailAddress
7. businessEmailAddress
8. privateEmailAddress
9. emailAddress
10. homeEmailAddress

​

anyPhoneNumber

Use anyPhoneNumber to automatically pick a phone number, checking both personal and business numbers. HireData looks through these fields in this order:

1. mobileNumber
2. phoneNumber
3. mobileNumberBusiness
4. phoneNumberBusiness
5. faxNumber
6. faxNumberBusiness

​

mobileOrPhoneNumber

This variable focuses on personal contact numbers. It checks for a mobile number first, then falls back to a personal phone number, then a fax number:

1. mobileNumber
2. phoneNumber
3. faxNumber

​

phoneOrMobileNumber

This works the same way as mobileOrPhoneNumber, but checks the phone number first:

1. phoneNumber
2. mobileNumber
3. faxNumber

​

mobileOrPhoneNumberBusiness

This variable only looks at business contact numbers. It checks the business mobile number first, then the business phone number, then the business fax number:

1. mobileNumberBusiness
2. phoneNumberBusiness
3. faxNumberBusiness

​

phoneOrMobileNumberBusiness

Same as above, but checks the business phone number first:

1. phoneNumberBusiness
2. mobileNumberBusiness
3. faxNumberBusiness

​

Match

​

modifiedOrCreatedBy

Use modifiedOrCreatedBy to find out who’s responsible for a match. HireData first checks who last modified the match record. If that’s empty, it uses who created it instead:

1. modifiedBy
2. createdBy
