Let clients download files or only view them

Decide whether clients can download candidate profiles and files, or only read them in the browser.

Who can do this: anyone who can edit the list.

Product: Talent Marketplace

Where: Marketing lists → your list → List configuration → General → Allow clients to download candidate files

Decide whether clients can download candidate profiles and files, or only read them in the browser.

How to allow or block downloads

  1. Open the list and click List configuration → General.

  2. Under Allow clients to download candidate files, choose:

    • Yes, allow downloading candidate files: clients see Download as PDF on profiles and can download CVs and uploaded files.

    • No, only allow viewing files in the web browser: the download button is gone.

The change saves straight away ("Shared list has been updated").

Good to know

  • This covers the profile PDF, the CV/resume and files in custom fields.

  • Anything a client can see on screen, they can still copy or screenshot. For sensitive details, hide them with candidate data control instead.

Pro tip: For sensitive lists, combine No, only allow viewing files in the web browser with candidate data control. Downloads stop, and hidden details don't show on screen.
