**Path:** [Cloud > Settings > Recruitment V2 > Auto Numbering - Code](https://cloud.pockethrms.com/Recruitment/RecruitmentV2/Index?module=RecruitmentV2\&submodule=Auto%20Numbering%20-%20Code)
We use this setting to define the starting and succeeding identification codes for Candidates and Jobs in the recruitment system. Establishing a clear numbering format helps in easily tracking and organizing recruitment data.
**Important Note:** This is a one-time configuration. Once set, the numbering will start from your defined starting code and continue automatically. The system will also auto-expand digits when needed (e.g., transitioning from 9999 to 10000).
**Auto Numbering – Code** includes configuration of the following Codes:
1. **Candidate**
2. **Job**

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.pockethrms.com/hr-and-admin-portal/cloud-configuration/recruitment-v2-setup/auto-numbering-code.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
