Who it's for: Owners, Admins and Members. Before you start: have the candidate's first and last name. Creating candidates doesn't use credits.
Have the resume? Upload it instead and the profile is filled in for you. See Create a candidate by uploading a resume.
Steps
In the left menu, click Candidates, then click Add candidate at the top right.
Click Create candidate manually.
In Create new candidate, enter First name and Last name. Email address is optional.
Click Create candidate. You see "Candidate has been created".
The candidate opens on Profiles (0) with "You have not added any profiles yet". Click Add profile.
Choose how to build the profile:
Create new profile by uploading file: pick the resume, and Candidately fills in the profile.
Create new profile manually: an empty profile editor opens.
If you chose manually: enter a Profile name (required), then the details, including the first and last name. Click Create profile.
What happens next
The profile shows on the candidate's Profiles tab. You can edit, export or share it like any other profile.
Good to know
A manually created candidate has no profile until you add one. Editing, export and sharing all start from a profile.
A manual profile starts empty. The name you entered for the candidate isn't copied into it, so type it in the profile too.
Uploading a file here counts toward your resume parsing limit, the same as any upload.
Troubleshooting
You uploaded a profile but the page still says "You have not added any profiles yet". Reload the page. The profile is there.
