Remarks
There is no option to edit the file before it is saved into the database. The reason for this is to save time and create quick results. There is always the possibility for editing after the candidate has been created.
At the bottom of this article you find which information is imported from the CV into the candidate file.
When the candidate name is set in the system as a set of asterisks (*****), then the quick extraction has been unable to recognize a candidate name. In this case please send the CV to the helpdesk so we can improve on our quick extraction system. Change the name of the candidate in your newly created file manually.

Through this form of file creation a CV is fully analysed. Parsing tries to recognize as many terms as possible to create the candidate file upon. This is how you analyse a CV:
Go to: Files > Candidates
Click [New]
Select Analyse CV document using the CV extraction service (advanced option)
Browse to the CV-document on your harddisk
Click [Finish], the CV extraction starts in a new window
In the new window you see a graphic preview of the candidate CV on the left, and on the right you see the results of the extraction, divided over the fields of the Carerix candidate fileCheck the results and change information where applicable
Click 'Save' (the right arrow icon at the top of the window) to save the candidate file. The extraction window closes and you are directed to the newly created candidate file.
Paste LinkedIn profile page or other internet page with profile
Choose the option "Paste LinkedIn profile page or other internet page with profile". Paste a copy of the profile page in the text field after which the profile will be created into a candidate file. This works for profile websites like Linkedin, Monster, Nationale Vacaturebank, etc.
Go to 'Menu' | 'Candidates'

General notes
Carerix takes note of existing files and tries to prevent double candidate files from occurring.
The result of importing a CV or profile that you have found online will never be 100% correct. Sometimes it might not work sufficiently, especially when the structure of the profile or CV document deviates a lot from the general standard. Please send such a profile or CV document to the helpdesk and our development team will use it to improve the feature.
