Add Candidate Information

- Classic Recruiter Experience -

In the Talent Community screen of Recruiting, you can add candidate information using one of the following methods:

Upload Resume

The Upload Resume option allows you to add candidate information by uploading a resume or cutting and pasting the content from a resume into the New Candidate wizard:

Upload a resume option in the New Candidate wizard.

Either method (uploading or cutting and pasting) results in attaching a file that recruiters can later download.

To upload a resume, select the Upload Resume option and then click Select File. The Upload Files dialog box opens in which you can select and upload the candidate's resume from your local files. You can also drag and drop files into the file window.

Note: The maximum upload size is 4 MB and formats include DOC, DOCX, PDF, HTML, and TXT.

To add a candidate's resume using the cut and paste method, select the Cut & Paste option and then paste the contents of the candidate's resume into the textbox provided.

For both methods, the information from the candidate's resume is parsed and displayed in the associated sections of their candidate profile.

Note: Currently, only the information parsed in the Education History, Employment History, and References sections can be edited. Any other sections in which information is parsed cannot be edited.

Create Your Resume

The Create Your Resume option allows you to add the candidate's resume information, such as employment and education history, manually.

Some of the fields in the candidate info form, such as Degree and Major, are displayed as drop-down lists with default data for quicker selection.

When a school name is entered ten or more times with the exact same spelling, Dayforce saves that school’s name in an instance-specific drop-down list for the School field.
