To create a new candidate:
-
On the Candidates Home page, select New:
-
Enter the personal details of the new candidate.
If you have Resume Parsing enabled, some of the personal details can be extracted automatically from their resume. Manually entered details always override details extracted by parsing; a detail from a parsed resume does not replace a pre-existing manually entered detail.
You can then attach their CV or resume and link the candidate to one or more vacancies.
Applications received by email have a new candidate record created automatically.
