Getting Started
Creating a new Applicant is an easy process. To get started, click on the small plus sign directly to the left of the word Applicant on your left side tool bar. Select the Create option from the expanded Applicant menu. The Create Applicant screen will be displayed.
Manual Creation
Manually: To manually create an applicant record, expand the Applicant menu and then select the Create option. The Create Applicant screen will be displayed and will allow you to enter all of the Applicant's information such as name, address, etc. You can also copy a resume that you have and then enter it here, or even enter free hand text into the resume screen in the middle of the create applicant screen.
Once you have filled in all of the information that you have, click the submit button at the bottom or top of your Create Applicant screen and the Applicant Profile will be saved in your BrightMove resume database.
Import Resume
Select the Import Resume option from the Applicant menu on the left side tool bar. The Import Resume screen will be displayed.
Outside of BrightMove, select and copy the document you would like to import. Then, paste that material into the empty box on the Import resume Screen. Once you are satisfied with the information inside of that box, click the Submit button underneath the box. BrightMove will automatically create an applicant profile based on the information in that resume.
PLEASE NOTE: If the applicant has not included information like his/her telephone number or address; or if it is not in the logical portion of the resume that the applicant has sent (e.g. – it is at the very bottom or in the last line of the resume) that information WILL NOT appear in the new applicant profile record. If you see that the applicant's name or other pertinent contact info is in a non-logical or unusual place in their resume, simply cut and paste it onto the top and the resume parse will create the profile correctly.
Import V-Card
A vCard is a standard file format used for personal data exchange, specifically electronic business cards. vCards are most often sent as attachments to email messages. Normally they contain information such as name, address, email address, phone numbers, and sometimes logos and photographs.
To import a vCard, click the plus sign next to Applicants option on the left side tool bar. Next, select the Import vCard option. You should see the Import vCard screen. You will see a field that says Choose vCard File with a button to the right that says browse. Click on the browse button, and select the vCard file that you would like to import. You should see the file name in the box in the center of your Import vCard screen. Once you are satisfied with the file you have selected, click the Submit key at the bottom of the Import vCard screen. Your vCard is now stored as an applicant profile.
