Import Candidates via Resume (PDF/DOC)
Updated over 5 months ago

Once you created your job, the next thing you would want to do is to add candidates to your job. You can find the options to import candidates from the drop down menu of the job card and choose “Import Resume (pdf/doc)” as shown below.

You can also import candidates from within the job page as shown below:

When there are candidates already in a job you can import candidates by clicking on the “Add Candidate” option on the top right corner as shown below.

You can click on upload documents or simply drag and drop the pdf resume files in the upload screen. You can choose the source of the candidates on the drop down menu on the upload screen. We have already pre defined some obvious sources, however, you can choose to type in your own source name if required. This source can later be used to filter the candidates from the filters menu on the left side of the job’s candidate listing page.

Note : Once you select the option “Others” from the source section , you can then mention the exact source. For example let's say you uploaded a resume which was sent by a candidate on your social media. While uploading you can select others and then mention the source as that particular social media platform.

Once you select the source, you can click on upload and our resume parsing algorithm starts fetching data in the backend. This might take some time to upload, depending on the number of resumes that you are uploading. You can still continue with your work while the upload happens at the backend. You will be notified once the upload is completed. Now you can see that all the information of the candidate is automatically picked up by the AI and filled in the boxes respectively.

If at all any files are in corrupted format, the algorithm will exclude those candidates and continue with uploading other candidates. You will be able to access the corrupted files information by clicking on the notification that you receive after the upload completes.
