Step-by-Step: How to use

Export Profile: Includes Work Experience

Candidate work history is now included in the Export Profile feature. This enhancement allows users to generate a more detailed and professional-looking candidate profile, including past roles, companies, durations, and key responsibilities, providing a comprehensive view of the candidate’s experience.

Merging Duplicate Candidates

If duplicate candidates are found, the system will retain the most recent candidate’s work history. If the latest candidate has no work history, it will use the second most recent candidate’s data. This ensures that the most up-to-date and complete work experience is preserved.

The process is automatic, helping maintain clean and accurate candidate profiles without manual effort.

Use the Candidate Experience Summary to present a clear, structured work history for every candidate and ensure consistency across parsing, exports, and matching.
