Profile Import Options for Candidates
Candidates can upload a profile making the application process more streamlined.
For this feature, some of the well-known third-party sites are supported. Third-parties supported are subject to change at any time.
Candidates are able to import a profile for application flows of type Candidate Profile, and Job-specific Application. The profile import is dependent on the Resume Upload block. It is a best practice to put the Resume Upload block on all application flows to ease the input burden on the candidates. If Resume Parsing is on, candidates have the option of uploading a resume.
The candidates can also upload information from a third party using the Import Profile options. If the candidates select one of the Import Profile options, authentication credentials need to be provided to the third party before the data is imported. Depending on which third-party solution is selected,the candidates may be presented automatically with a legal authorization page.
The candidates will always be presented with the Resume Upload block if the Education or Experience blocks of a submission are empty.
After uploading a resume the candidates are returned to the application flow and continue with the application flow with data imported in. All fields mapped by the profile import service are populated, whether or not those fields are displayed in a job-specific submission or general profile flow. In the case where a field is not configured in the flow, the candidate will not have the opportunity to correct or edit that specific information while advancing through the flow. If the candidates end the application process part way through, all valid data from the import is saved in the candidates' record, whether they have reached that page in the flow or not, however the application is still flagged as incomplete.
Customers can configure their career sections to always display partner import services (i.e. even if there is candidate information already in the system).
Customers can enable a setting to display partner import services such as LinkedIn and Indeed even if there is Education and Work Experience information on file in the customers’ zone. Whenever candidates choose to import data from one of these partners (and they can do so as often as they wish), any new structured data will be added to the system while, in the case of Indeed, any existing structured data will be updated accordingly. The substantial usefulness of this feature resides in the fact that candidates typically keep their profile information up-to-date on sites such as LinkedIn or Indeed, rather than updating their information on each customer’s zone.
Customers can modify the following user-defined labels to provide information they feel will help candidates choose the most appropriate import options for their profile.
