Add Candidates and Parse CVs

Candidates who apply through your job pages are added for you. For everyone else, such as people you meet, people who email a CV or people you find, you add them yourself, and Wizard AI can do most of the typing.

Add a candidate from a CV

1. Open Add Candidate

   In the sidebar, open Recruitment, choose Candidates and add a new one.

2. Upload the CV

   Under Quick Add with CV, upload the CV as a PDF or text file of up to 5MB and select Parse CV with AI. CV parsing is on the Professional and Enterprise plans.

3. Check what it found

   The form fills in with their details, experience and skills. Read it through, correct anything that is not right and fill in any gaps.

Fill in the details

• Contact details: name, email, phone and mobile.
• Where they are: whether they are actively or passively looking, not looking or employed, their pipeline status, current job title, company, years of experience, industry and notice period.
• Pay: current and expected salary for permanent roles, and current and expected day rate for contract work.
• Skills, which AI matching uses to find them for the right jobs.
• Data protection: when they gave consent or were given your privacy notice, how, and how long you will keep their details. See handle consent, retention and deletion requests.

To give them their own login for timesheets and documents, send a candidate portal invitation.

Add fields of your own

If your agency records something the form does not have, such as a driving licence or security clearance, add a custom field. From the candidates options menu, open the candidate fields and add one: text, a number, a date, a dropdown, a multiple choice list or a checkbox. Mark it required if it must be filled in, and drag the fields into order.
