How to Upload a Candidate Resume and Meet File Requirements

When a candidate applies for a job, recruiters can upload their resume directly into a workflow. The system then parses the resume and automatically generates a fitment score based on pre-configured criteria, eliminating the need for manual screening at the top of the funnel.

File Requirements

Make sure the file is within the 5 MB size limit before uploading. If the file is too large, compress it or save it in a smaller format before trying again.

Step 2: Let the System Process the Resume Once uploaded, the system automatically runs three steps in the background:

1. Upload - the file is successfully received
2. Parse - the system reads the resume and extracts key information, including:
   • Name, email, contact number, and LinkedIn
   • Education details
   • Work experience
   • Certifications and additional information
3. Generate fitment - the extracted details are compared against your configured criteria, and a fitment score with reasoning is produced

Processing runs in the background. You can close the upload panel and continue other tasks in the workflow, just do not refresh the page until processing is complete.

Step 3: View the Fitment Results Once processing is complete, navigate to: Resume Screening step → Candidate Profile → Overview tab → Resume sub-tab Here you will find:

• The fitment label (Strong Fit, Potential Fit, or Low Fit)
• A reasoning summary explaining why the candidate received that score
• The resume file, available to view, zoom in/out, and download

You can also view fitment scores directly from the list view in the Screening step and apply filters to sort candidates by their fitment label.
