Who can do this: Owners, Admins and Members. Everyone in your company sees the same candidates. · Product: Resume Builder · Where: Candidates → All candidates

What's the difference between a candidate and a profile?
A candidate is the person. A profile is one version of their resume. One candidate can have several profiles, for example one for each type of role you put them forward for.
When you open a candidate, the Profiles tab lists their profiles with Profile name, Created by, Last edited and Date created.
The Profiles tab
A filled star next to a profile name marks the primary profile.
Manage profiles
Hover over a profile row on the Profiles tab to see its actions:
Action | What it does |
Open | Shows the profile and the original resume side by side |
Edit | Opens the editor |
Duplicate | Makes a copy named "Copy: …" |
Delete | Deletes the profile, after you confirm |
Profile actions
The actions show at the right of the row when you hover over it.
To make another profile the primary one, open it and click the star next to its name (Set as primary profile).
To add a profile, click Add profile, then click Create new profile by uploading file or Create new profile manually.
Manage the candidate
To rename the candidate, click Edit name next to the candidate's name. On a profile page, Edit name renames the profile instead. See Add, duplicate or delete a profile.

Common questions
Where do I find a resume I edited or exported before?
Search for the candidate under All candidates and open them. Each version you made is a profile on the Profiles tab.
Why is the AI Search tab locked?
AI Search is part of Candidate Search AI. On a Resume Builder plan, the tab shows a panel about the product with Get early access. To find a candidate by name or email, use All candidates.
Pro tip: Give each profile a clear name, like the role type or the client, with Edit name on the profile page. Your colleagues then pick the right version when they export.
