How Can I Manually Add & Create A New Candidate Profile?

  • Scroll on the ‘Candidate’ category on the top navigation bar. 
  • From the drop-down, select ‘Add Candidate’. You can also reach the ‘Add Candidates’ option from ‘New Applicant’ and ‘Manage Candidates’ pages. On both the pages, you can find the ‘+ Add Candidates’ on the top left. You will be redirected to the ‘Add New Candidates’ page.
  • In the ‘Select Job’ option, select the job from the drop-down for which you are adding the candidate profile. These are the jobs that are available in your job postings. 
  • Beside it, you can upload the ‘Profile Image’ of the candidate by clicking on the ‘Upload’ option. You can select the photograph of the candidate from your files in the system. However, this is not a mandatory step. 
  • Next, fill in the candidate’s details like the Full Name, Email address, and Mobile number. Select country code, if the candidate is not an Indian citizen and his mobile number is of a different country. 
  • Choose the gender of the candidate by clicking radio button before Male or Female.
  • In the ‘Current Location’ section, select the location where the candidate resides from the drop-down options available. 
  • Add the city name in the ‘Current City’ option if the city location is not mentioned in the ‘Current Location’ option.
  • In the ‘Address’ line, fill in the complete address of the candidate. 
  • Next, add the key skills of the candidate from the ‘Key Skills’ option. Type the first few characters of the skills and choose from the suggestions generated automatically. You can also add any specific key skill not available in the suggestions and press enter to add next skills. 
  • In the next section, select the current CTC (cost to company) of the candidate. If the candidate is a fresher, select ‘0 lakh’ and ‘Thousands’ from the two fields.
  • Next, click on the ‘Add Qualification’ option to add the education qualifications of the candidate. Here, you can add the course name, institute name, result, start year, and end year to add the qualification. You can add multiple qualifications depending on the education of the candidate. 
  • In the ‘Experience’ option select the number of years. Select ‘fresher’ if the candidate is a fresher. After selecting the number of years, you will get an additional option where you can select the additional months for experience. 
  • For the candidates who have experience, you can also add the experience by clicking on the ‘Add Work Experience’ option. You can add the employer name, designation, role, start year, and end year of the job. Tick on the ‘Current’ option below in case the candidate is currently working in the particular job. 
  • Scroll up to add the candidate to any particular group created by you. You can select multiple groups for the candidate profile that you are creating by using the Ctrl key. You can also add a new group by clicking on the ‘+ Add New Group’ option. 
  • After adding the candidate to groups of similar interest, you can upload the text resume of the candidate. 
  • Click on the ‘Language’ option to add the Language Proficiency of the candidate by adding the language name and choosing if the candidate can read, write, and speak in the particular language. You can add multiple languages through this option. 
  • Once all the details have been added, recheck once and click on the ‘Submit’ button below to save the details of the candidate. 

NOTE: All the candidates that you add already have the ‘Confirmed’ status, whereas you need to manually change the status of candidates who have applied against vacancies you have posted.
