View & Manage Candidate Resume

Easily request, upload, and update candidate resumes directly from their profile.

Overview

The Resume Tab in a candidate’s profile allows you to manage resumes seamlessly within Discovered. If a candidate hasn’t provided one, you can either request a resume directly from them (with a customizable pre-written message) or upload it manually on their behalf. Once uploaded, resumes are stored under the candidate’s profile, where you can view them, manage attachments, and even set a new file as the primary resume.

This ensures your hiring team always has the most up-to-date resume on file, keeping the evaluation process accurate and efficient.

How to Access Candidate Profile Header:

1. Request a Resume

If a candidate doesn’t have a resume uploaded, click Ask for a resume in their profile.

A pre-written message template appears—customize it as needed but make sure to include the submit resume token, which gives the candidate a link to upload their file.

Send the message, and the candidate can securely submit their resume online.

2. Upload a Resume Manually

If you already have the candidate’s resume, click Upload resume.

Either drag and drop the file or choose a file from your device.

The resume will appear in the candidate’s profile under the Resume Tab.

3. Update a Resume with a New File

Click Add attachment in the candidate’s profile and upload the new document.

Hover over the file and select Set this file as a resume to make it the candidate’s primary resume.
The resume tab will now display the updated version.

Why This Matters

Resumes are the foundation of candidate evaluation. With the Resume Tab:

Recruiters can ensure candidate profiles are always complete.
Hiring managers can review the latest version without confusion over multiple attachments.
Candidates have a streamlined way to provide updates without back-and-forth emails.

This centralized process reduces errors, eliminates outdated files, and saves time for everyone involved.

Best Practices

Always include the submit resume token in request messages to avoid issues with candidate uploads.
Regularly check and refresh resumes to ensure accuracy when candidates advance in the process.

What Happens Next

Once a resume is uploaded or requested:

Attachments remain accessible, but the file marked as “Resume” becomes the official version used throughout the hiring process.
Team members can review resumes directly without needing to request them separately.
