      How to manually upload candidates

      Walk-in candidates and candidates who contact you directly instead of applying through a job posting must be imported into CareerPlug before you can move them through your hiring process.

      To import a candidate into CareerPlug, you can either share the link to your careers page or job posting and ask the candidate to apply online or upload the candidate manually.

      Sharing the link to your careers page or job posting

      To share the link to your careers page:

      1. On your Dashboard, click the Careers Page button in the upper right corner of the page.

      2. Highlight and copy the URL of your careers page.

      3. Send your careers page link to the candidate and have them apply for the open position.

      Once the candidate applies, they will appear on your Applicants page like normal.

      To share the link to a job posting:

      1. Navigate to your Jobs page.

      2. Click the three-dots icon and select Share from the drop-down menu.

      If your job's current Smart Suggestion recommends that you share your job, you can click the Share button instead.

      3. In the Share Job pop-up, click the Email This Job tile.

      Share Job Modal (Email tile arrow)

      If you have another way to reach a candidate besides email, you can click the Share Link to This Job tile to manually copy the link. 

      4. In the Email This Job drawer, fill out the To, Subject, and Email Content fields, including any necessary details for the candidate.

      5. Click the Send Email button at the bottom of the drawer.

      If you have an electronic copy of the applicant's resume, you can upload it. If you don't have the resume, enter whatever information you have in the Paste Resume field.

      The new candidate will appear on your Applicants page like normal.
