You can add candidates manually or by uploading a resume within Labourly.


NOTE:

Uploading a resume allows Labourly to automatically extract candidate information, including contact information, education, and work experience, to help build the candidate profile faster.

For best results, upload high-resolution resumes that are 1–2 pages.

A maximum of 25 files can be uploaded at a time.

For uploading larger numbers of resumes, resumes can also be emailed directly to the Labourly system to create candidate profiles.

Certifications and documents can be uploaded manually after the candidate profile is created.
