Please note that the resume analyzer and LinkedIn plugin are premium features.

Adding candidates via resumes

By integrating the resumes you receive into the analyzer, you can quickly extract the information you need to create the candidate's file.

Method 1

When you log in to your account, click on your Add a candidate in the top right-hand corner, then click on Adding CV candidate(s).

1. On the page that opens, you can add a CV by clicking the + icon or by dropping the CV in the gray area.
2. Once the CV has been added, click Analyze. The CV will appear in the list of pending analyses.
3. Under the Actions column, click the See resume icon.
4. In the Create candidate profile window, you'll see the candidate's CV on the left and the candidate file information on the right. Some of this information has already been filled in for you, so all you need to do is complete it.
5. In the Candidate section, the Targeted positions correspond to the positions for which the applicant is interested. This is the list of positions in the settings dashboard. You also have the option of sending a Request for consent to the candidate. To do this, select a template and specify an expiry date.
6. Under the Address section, if the information is not filled in, click the Autofill icon.
7. Under the Contact section, the information will be filled in if it appears on the CV. If necessary, click the purple icon to swap telephone numbers.
8. Under the Skills section, some skills may have been detected automatically. You can also add skills by selecting them from the drop-down list or the suggestions. By selecting a suggestion, it will appear in the candidate's file and be created in the settings dashboard.
9. Under the Diplomas section, if you want the detected diplomas to appear in the candidate's file, click the Add icon. You can add additional diplomas by clicking the Add an entry icon.
10. Under the Experiences section, you can modify the information detected, add it to the candidate's file (Add icon) and add other experiences (Add an entry icon).
11. Under the Positions section, you can add the candidate to an open position by clicking the + icon under the Add column in the job list.
12. When you've finished, click on Submit. The candidate's file will be created and the candidate will be added to the position.

Method 2

If you are not using automatic approval for web candidates, in the candidate’s web application form, click Analyze CV and Approve to open the CV parser and submit the candidate form for creation. Back in the web registration list, you can click on the + (Attach to application) icon under the Action column.

Adding candidates via LinkedIn

Use your LinkedIn professional social network to import new profiles directly into Folks ATS.

1. If you haven't already done so, go to the Chrome Web Store to add the plugin to Google Chrome.   Tip: We recommend you pin it for easier access.
2. In LinkedIn, access the profile of a candidate you're interested in and open the plugin by clicking on the Folks ATS icon in the Chrome toolbar. The plugin will scroll through the candidate's profile and fill in the information automatically.
3. Clicking the + Add candidate button opens a new Folks ATS tab. Here you'll see the candidate's add form filled in with information from their LinkedIn profile.
4. Once all the required information has been added, click Save to create the candidate's file in the database.

Search features

You can use the advanced search to find profiles in your database based on your criteria and add them to your requests, or create search lists to come back to later.
