Who can do this: Owners, Admins and Members · Product: Resume Builder · Where: the candidate → Profiles tab
A candidate can have several profiles, for example a full and an anonymous version, or one shaped for a specific client. Add, copy, rename, star or delete them from the candidate.
Add a profile
Open the candidate and click Add profile.
Click one of these:
Create new profile by uploading file: select a resume, and Candidately fills in the profile.
Create new profile manually: an empty editor opens. Enter a Profile name and the details, then click Create profile. The candidate's name isn't filled in for you.
If Bullhorn is connected, you also see Create new profile from Bullhorn file. See Import a candidate from Bullhorn.
Duplicate a profile
Important: A copy counts as a new profile. Its first export uses 1 credit, even if the original was exported.
Open the profile and click More → Duplicate profile. You can also hover over a row on the candidate's Profiles tab and click Duplicate.
The copy opens, named "Copy: Profile 1". You see "Profile has been duplicated".
The copy has the same details, resume and photo as the original at that moment. It isn't the primary profile. A photo you add to one profile later doesn't appear on the other.
Rename a profile
Open the profile and click Edit name next to the profile name.
In Edit profile, change Profile name and click Update profile.
You can also change Profile name at the top of the editor. The candidate's own name doesn't change.
Set the primary profile
Open the profile you want as the main one.
Click the star next to the profile name (Set as primary profile).
The primary profile shows a filled star.
Delete a profile
Open the profile and click More → Delete profile. You can also hover over a row on the Profiles tab and click Delete.
In Delete profile, click Yes, delete. To keep the profile, click Cancel.
To delete the candidate instead, open the candidate and click More → Delete candidate.
Good to know
The Profiles tab lists each profile with Profile name, Created by, Last edited and Date created. Hover over a row for Open, Edit, Duplicate and Delete.
If your company has reached its resume parsing limit, you can't upload or duplicate profiles for now. See Out of credits, or "You've reached your CV parsing limit".
If you use Bullhorn, a setting can update the primary profile when a new resume is added in Bullhorn. An Owner sets this in Settings → Integrations → Bullhorn.
Common questions
Why would a candidate need two profiles?
A second profile lets you send a different version, for example a full and an anonymous one, or one shaped for a specific client.
How do I rename a profile?
Click Edit name next to the profile name, or change Profile name in the editor.
Pro tip: Rename a copy right after you duplicate it, for example with the client's name. Several profiles called "Copy: Profile 1" are hard to tell apart on the Profiles tab.
