Who can do this: Owners and Admins on any list. Members on lists they own or are assigned to, and on lists owned by someone in their team.

Product: Client Portal

Where: The three dots on the candidate card

Swap in a newer CV, add one to a candidate who doesn't have one yet, or take the CV off.

Replace or add a CV

  1. Open the list and click the three dots on the candidate (or More in the candidate view).

  2. Click Replace candidate's CV/Resume.

  3. Click Select file and select the CV. If the candidate came from Bullhorn, you can also select a file from Bullhorn.

  4. Choose what happens to the profile:

    • Overwrite all fields: replace the details with what's in the new CV. The candidate's name stays.

    • Update only empty fields: keep your edits and fill in only what's missing.

    • Do not update: swap the file and change nothing else.

You see CV replaced successfully.

Remove a CV

  1. Click the three dots on the candidate.

  2. Click Remove CV/Resume.

  3. Confirm with Yes, remove.

Good to know

  • Your client sees the new CV the next time they open the candidate, if the list lets them see CVs.

  • Replacing a CV counts toward your company's CV parsing limit.

  • A candidate without a CV can't be found through search on the client's side.

Pro tip: Already edited the profile? Choose Update only empty fields. Your edits stay and only the missing details come from the new CV.
