Adding new candidates

|
Note that Lever automatically prevents duplication of candidate profiles if a candidate applies to multiple postings with the same email address. However, when candidates are manually added to Lever it is still possible to inadvertently create duplicate profiles. For more information on managing duplicate candidates refer to our help article on merging duplicate candidate profiles. |
Adding a candidate will create a general opportunity and a new candidate profile.
- Click + Add Candidate button above the opportunity list
Adding resumes
Add a resume by clicking on the + Add resume button or drag a document into the 'Upload resume' area. Lever’s resume parser will add information from the resume to the candidate summary including their candidate's name, organization, and contact details. For more information on adding resumes, refer to our help article on adding and deleting resumes.
By default, the stage is set as 'New Lead', the Origin as 'Sourced', and the source tag as 'Added manually.'
Adding candidate contact information
You can add and update candidate contact information in the candidate profile, including location, e-mail, and phone number.
With Lever's 2024 Structured Contact Location release, the structured location field will be added to newly created candidate profiles. When adding candidates to Lever either directly, via the Lever Chrome Extension, or by referral form, the contact location field will be parsed from the uploaded candidate resume.
If you do not upload a resume or a location is not parseable, the location field provides a dropdown of verifiable, standardized locations. As you type into the location field, the location recommendations menu will appear.
If you type in a location that cannot be verified, you will see a warning asking you to select a verified location.
