Introduction to AI-powered profiles ๐Ÿ’โ€โ™€๏ธ

The new AI-powered profiles introduce several new fields that allow you to fully replace a candidate's original CV. These fields can now be managed under 'Field Management' and include the following:

  • Employment History

  • Education History

  • Licenses & Certifications

  • Professional Summary

  • Languages

  • Candidate Email

  • Candidate Phone

For all newly added candidates, their resumes are parsed, and these fields are automatically pre-filled using AI. The same applies to candidates added in the past, provided they have an attached resume.

Under "Candidate Appearance", you can assign and re-arrange these fields to build candidate profiles that match your needs.

With "Data Controls", you can easily modify the data displayed on your candidates (like hiding the name of any past employers on the employment history). Using these AI-powered profiles ensures that all candidates you submit or market have a coherent and easy-to-review layout, and gives you reliable control of the data you reveal.


Step-by-Step Guide โœ…

Get started with using the new AI-Powered candidate profiles, by following the steps below. We suggest that you first duplicate your current candidate appearance to try it out. Once you are happy with the setup, you can make the new appearance the default one for any new lists or assign them to a dedicated team.


Step 1: Create a new candidate appearance

โ†’ Head to Settings -> Candidate appearance to get started.

1.1 Duplicate your default appearance to create a new one to test with.

1.2 Name your new appearance (e.g., โ€œFull Candidate Profileโ€).


Step 2: Add new sections and fields to your Candidate profile

2.1 Add a new section to your candidate appearance:

2.2 Add a section name. Example: Experience.

2.3 Add key fields like Employment History, Education, Certificates, and Languages.

2.4 Customize the header with fields like Email, Phone Number, and a Professional Summary

2.5 If you don't wish to show the candidate's original resume, remove the section from your appearance. Otherwise, you can leave the section there.

๐Ÿ’ก Pro tip:

You can also control the visibility of the Original resume via the Data controls. You'll learn about them in Step 4 ๐Ÿ˜‰

The new fields will be automatically populated by scanning the resume or checking for matching fields in Bullhorn.

3.2 As well as the Experience section with the fields Employment History, Education, Licenses & Certificates, and Languages.


Step 4: Candidate data controls

Select the default data controls for your candidate appearance from the corresponding tab. You can select whether you want to hide or show the full name and job title, hide or show the original CV, as well as control the names and locations of the previous workplaces and education facilities.

This is a great way of streamlining the creation of Spec profiles if needed.
