Read our Guide to Candidate Appearance 📚
1. Candidate Appearance explained
The Candidate Appearance lets you create custom resume templates. It enables you to rearrange fields (both default and custom) into unique sections on the candidate profile and edit form. This feature provides the flexibility to mix, match, remove, and move fields and sections, enabling you to create unlimited fully customizable templates that meet your clients needs.
Candidate Profile
The Candidate Profile is essentially your formatted resume and includes the most relevant details about your candidate such as the professional summary, skills, experience, education, certifications, languages, contact info, and more.
Candidate Form
The Candidate Form lets you edit all the details on the Candidate Profile.
Candidate Data Control
Candidate Data Control, allows you to manage data visibility for each candidate profile. You have full flexibility to display or anonymize data points like the candidate's contact details, last employer names, and more.
2. Create a new resume template
Your account comes with a default template, but we would recommend you review and customize it to align with your preferred format.
We recommend duplicating your default appearance as a starting point.
Update the appearance name.
Next, navigate through each tab (Candidate Profile, Candidate Form, and Data controls) to customize them.
Create new sections, and select the desired fields from the menu with all available default and custom fields.
Once done, hit "Save".
3. Add, remove, and rearrange fields on your resume template
Add a field to your template
First, click on a section. The selected section will be highlighted with a color.
Next, select the field you want to add by ticking it from the list on the left-hand side. Once selected, the field will appear in the highlighted section.
Attention ❗️❗️
Each tab—Candidate Profile and Candidate Form—works independently. Fields added to one tab won’t automatically appear in the other. To keep a field editable, add it to both tabs and ensure they are mirrored for consistency.
Remember to always add the same field you added to the Candidate Profile and also to the Candidate Form!
