Candidates can save their information as an account profile that they can use when applying for jobs on your client career sites. Being able to reuse information from their profile reduces the time and effort to complete a job application and improves their overall experience on your site.
Candidates can access their career profiles from the My Profile option in the account menu.
Dayforce uses career profiles to help candidates:
- It recommends jobs based on the skills and experiences in their profiles. These recommendations are shown in the Recommended Jobs feature.
- It fills in fields when candidates apply for jobs, which they can update as needed.
Candidates can click Import Resume to get started. The information from their resume is automatically parsed and added to the corresponding fields of their profile. They can then update the details in their profile. If they upload their resume again, the information in the newer resume overwrites what’s in their profile.
They can also upload cover letters and other documents. Future uploads replace the previous documents.
Candidates can update whether they want to hide the visibility of their profile so that they aren't included in recruiter searches using the Do you want to be considered for jobs you haven't applied for? option, if this feature is configured.
Note: The Apply with LinkedIn option isn’t available when candidates create or update their profile in the My Profile tab. However, when submitting a job application, candidates can update their existing profile with the information from that job application (including information from LinkedIn).
Profile Sections
Depending on configuration, several sections might be available for candidates to complete in their profile. The information in these sections can be used in job applications, and is carried over to background screening forms, if included.
Candidates can click the edit icon to update any of these sections:
- Personal Information: Contact information and how the candidate heard about the job.
- Resume, Cover Letter, Additional Documents: They can optionally upload these documents to attach to job applications. Maximum file sizes are 5 MB for resumes and cover letters and 20 MB for additional documents. Any previous versions are overwritten.
