Who can do this: Owners, Admins and Members. Changing the branding setting: Owners and Admins. · Product: Resume Builder · Where: the profile → More → Add candidate avatar
Before you start: Have the photo on your computer as a PNG, JPG, BMP, GIF or TIFF file.
To put a candidate's photo on the resume, add it to the profile. Your branding then decides if the photo shows when you export.
How do I add a photo to a profile?
To add a candidate photo:
Open the candidate, then the profile.
Click More at the top right, then click Add candidate avatar.
Select the photo on your computer.
The photo opens in a square crop window. Click Crop.
You see "Avatar updated successfully". The photo shows to the left of the candidate's name in the profile preview.
The photo in the profile preview
The photo sits to the left of the candidate's name.
How do I remove the photo?
Hover over the photo on the profile.
Click the Remove avatar icon.
Show or hide photos on resumes
Your branding decides if photos show on the resume. Owners and Admins set this:
Open the user menu (your name, bottom left), then go to Settings → Branding.
Under Display candidate avatar, select one of these:
No, hide avatar: never show a photo.
Yes, display avatar
Only show avatar when image is uploaded: show a photo only when the profile has one. This is the default.
Click Save changes at the bottom of the page.
Each branding has its own setting. On the export screen, Select branding decides which one is used.
Good to know
The photo belongs to the profile, not the candidate. Other profiles of the same candidate don't get it.
Duplicating a profile copies its photo. A photo you add after duplicating is only on the profile you added it to.
An anonymous export still shows the photo. To hide it, export with a branding where Display candidate avatar is No, hide avatar. See Create an anonymous resume.
Troubleshooting
The photo doesn't show on the resume. Check that this profile has the photo. Then check Display candidate avatar in the branding you export with. If it's No, hide avatar, the photo is hidden.
You see "Uploading … files is not allowed". The file type isn't accepted. Use PNG, JPG, BMP, GIF or TIFF.
Common questions
How do I add the candidate's picture to the CV?
Open the profile and click More → Add candidate avatar.
Can I hide the photo for some clients?
Yes, you can hide it for some clients. Use a branding with Display candidate avatar set to No, hide avatar for those exports.
Why doesn't another profile of the same candidate have the photo?
Photos are saved per profile. Add the photo to that profile too.
Pro tip: Add the photo before you duplicate a profile. Duplicating copies the photo, so every new version of the resume has it.
