Resume Import

Resume import refers to the process of parsing and adding resume content from common sources into the Talenture RS database.

Benefits

• Zero-manual entry of resume data leads to huge time-saving.
• No misses in capturing details of important candidates, auto parsing pulls key details. Power View can be used to quickly validate and add more/missing details via drag-drop.
• Candidate details stored in a structured format enabling fast and easy retrieval for the entire team.

You can source resumes from multiple sources and add them to Talenture RS database:

• Resumes on hard disk folders: Quick Import option in Talenture RS enables you to easily import resumes stored in Windows folders into Talenture RSt.
• Resumes in Email: Talenture RS Outlook Connector automatically transfers resumes received in email (response to Job postings, direct from candidates etc.) to Talenture RS.
• Resumes from Job Portals: Talenture RS Portal Connect enables transferring resumes from Job Portals such as Naukri.com, Monster.com etc. directly to Talenture RS.

 Candidate Profiles from Social Networks: Directly download candidate profiles from sites like LinkedIn & Facebook.

- Tick the 'Generate "Updated Resume Request" mails for resumes added' check-box if you want Talenture RS to generate automatic mails to candidates whose resumes are transferred successfully requesting for their updated resumes.

If you enable this check-box, the related option 'Send generated mails automatically' will also be available. Tick this to automatically send the generated 'Thank you' mails.

If this option is not enabled, the messages will be generated and saved in the 'Drafts' folder in the Communications module. You can then launch the Communication module, open and send each generated mail from the Drafts folder.

- Click the 'Import Resumes' button to start the import process.

3. Track resume processing on imported files

You can track of the status of files which have been processed for resume content using the Resume Data Files tree of folders in the Files module. This folder includes the following sub-folders:

• Candidate Created: All files from which candidates got created successfully are moved to this folder.
• Candidate Not Created: Files in which resume content was not detected are moved to this folder.
• Problem Files: Files on which resume processing encountered errors/failures are moved into this folder.
• Unprocessed Files: Files on which resume processing was skipped are moved into this folder.

When files are processed for resume parsing, they get redirected to one of these folders depending on the outcome of their parsing process.
