Candidate Enrichment

A candidate profile is a comprehensive summary of a job applicant's qualifications, skills, and experiences. It typically includes details about education, work history, skills, competencies, certifications, and sometimes personal attributes, enabling recruiters to evaluate and compare candidates effectively for optimal fit within an organization.

The main difference between a resume and a candidate profile lies in their format and purpose. A resume is a concise document created by the candidate that highlights their work experience, skills, and education tailored for a specific job application, whereas a candidate profile is typically a more detailed and standardized representation constructed by HR or recruitment professionals. Manatal’s resume parsing and enrichment features automatically create profiles for candidates in a single database for you to filter and search through.

Candidate profiles aid recruitment by providing a standardized framework for evaluating applicants, allowing recruiters to quickly assess how well candidates align with the organization's needs and cultural fit. They enable a more systematic comparison of candidates, streamline the selection process, and enhance the quality of hiring decisions, ultimately contributing to more effective team building and reduced turnover rates. Manatal’s AI candidate scoring feature lets you find the best-suited profiles for your job by automatically searching through the candidate profiles and shortlisting the best matches.

To facilitate effective onboarding, a candidate profile should include not only the candidate's basic information such as name and contact details, but also their educational background, relevant skills, experiences, key accomplishments, professional references, and specific roles they will occupy. Additionally, it’s helpful to include preferred learning styles, personality traits, and any insights from previous roles that might assist in tailoring the onboarding experience to ensure a smoother transition into the organization.

Talent analytics can be integrated with candidate profiles by applying data-driven insights to evaluate candidate performance, predict potential job success, and identify skill gaps.

There are several tools available for creating and managing candidate profiles, including Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) such as Manatal, which allows you to search through your applicants’ profiles in an intuitive database. It also allows you to find their contact details, import them from LinkedIn, and much more.
