4. Search for Existing Candidates (if updating):

  • Use the search bar to look for an existing candidate by entering their name, email, or phone number.
  • If you find the candidate you wish to update, click on their name to open their profile.

    • Cover Letter: Optionally upload a cover letter.
    • Work Authorization: Details on whether the candidate is authorized to work in the specific location.

12. Review for Duplicates:

  • If you entered details for a new candidate, the system may prompt you to check for duplicate profiles. Review any matches and decide whether to merge or keep separate profiles based on your findings.
