Manatal allows the import of resumes that will be added to the relevant candidates. In order for a resume to import successfully, each resume must meet the following conditions:
When importing resumes, the candidate IDs must be added to each resume's filename to define to which candidate it should be attached to.
During the process, for each resume:
- if the source ID of the candidate is missing, the resume will not be imported.
- if the source ID of the candidate is duplicate (within the current or a past import), the resumes will not be imported.
It is recommended to map Candidate Source ID when importing candidates.
