  1. Choose the correct assignment

    Intake connects the candidate to a job. The upload dialog also offers CV-free intake for confirmed staffing assignments.

  2. Add a staffing candidate without a CV

    Open the CV-free section and enter a name, email and assignment. A missing CV is not a negative assessment.

  3. Review before inviting

    Intake and invitation are separate steps. Check the resulting application before preparing an interview.

Step by step#

  1. Open applicant intake

    From Candidates or the job, open the upload/add-applicant dialog and select the intended role.

  2. Choose the appropriate route

    For CV intake, select supported PDF or DOCX files up to 10 MiB each. For a staffing assignment, use the CV-free entry and enter the candidate’s name and email.

  3. Check identity and association

    Confirm the displayed candidate information and job. A candidate profile and an application to a role are separate records.

  4. Review the intake result

    Open the candidate and check the extracted information or CV-free profile. Missing CV information is not evidence of missing ability.

Ready for an interview invitation#

Intake creates or associates the application; it does not by itself mean an invitation has been delivered. Check interview setup and deliberately prepare the invitation.

An upload is rejected#

Check file type, size and whether the document is readable. A renamed file extension does not convert a document. If a parser fails, fix the document or ask your recruiter for the supported alternative instead of creating repeated duplicate uploads.
