BrightMove allows candidates to upload cover letters as part of their job application. However, the system does not enforce mandatory cover letter uploads. This means that while you can encourage candidates to include a cover letter, there is no automated way to eliminate candidates who do not upload one. Manual review is required to identify and decline such candidates.

Employers must manually review applications to ensure compliance with cover letter requirements. By understanding these functionalities and limitations, you can better manage cover letter requirements in your hiring process.
