How do I add a candidate?

There are two ways to add a candidate to a job:

Create the candidate in HireBest, from the job.
Import candidates from your ATS. See Can I use HireBest with my ATS?

To create a candidate:

Open the job and click the Candidates tab.
Click Add Candidate.
Enter the candidate's First Name and Last Name. These are the only required fields.
Add what else you have: email, phone, current title, current company, their résumé (.pdf, .doc or .docx), their LinkedIn profile and other attachments such as a cover letter or portfolio.

Add candidate form using synthetic candidate details.

If HireBest finds a candidate who may be the same person, it shows the match. Choose Add to them to use the existing candidate record rather than create a second one.

Add the candidate's email address if you plan to order a Hogan assessment, because the assessment link goes to that address. See Add a candidate.
