Edit candidate profiles

A complete guide to managing candidate profiles in Tellent Recruitee.

Candidate profiles organize all of an applicant‘s information into a single, scannable view.

You can easily edit candidate details, update their status in your hiring pipeline, review team evaluation scores, and collaborate with hiring team members using tasks and notes.


Name and personal details

Click the pencil icon next to the candidate‘s name to open the Edit personal details window.

You can upload or remove a profile photo, select a General title or Professional title, and update the candidate‘s Full name. Click Save when you‘re done.


Main tabs

Use the main tabs at the top of the profile to access specific candidate data:

  • Overview: View the candidate’s contact details, profile creation and source details, profile fields, tags, and uploaded CV or cover letter.

  • Messages: View email conversations between the candidate and your hiring team.

  • Events: View all past and scheduled interviews or calendar events.

  • Evaluations: View submitted evaluations, ratings, scorecards, pending evaluation requests, and available AI insights.

  • Files: View documents uploaded to the candidate’s profile, such as portfolios, assessments, and contracts.

  • Activity: View a chronological record of actions taken on the candidate’s profile, including team activity and profile updates.

Use the right-hand panel on the candidate profile to manage job stages, view AI summaries, assign tasks, and leave notes.


Contact details

Click the pencil icon next to any field under Contact (email, phone, socials, links) to update details. Click Send message to email the candidate directly.


Profile fields

Profile fields are custom data fields used on candidate profiles to gather specific candidate information, such as salary expectations or notice periods.

You can create a profile field template to standardize the candidate information your team collects across all jobs. Editing a profile field template automatically updates those fields across all jobs using that template.


Tags and source tags

Click + next to Tags or Source and select the tags or source tags you want to add.

To create a new tag or source tag, type the tag name and click Create new.


CV and cover letter

Click Upload file to add a CV to the candidate’s profile. After uploading, you can see their work history under the Experience tab.

Click Add cover letter in the Cover letter section to either upload a document or type your text directly.

Note: Once you upload a document or type out a cover letter, the Cover letter section automatically moves above the CV section on the candidate‘s profile.


Use the pencil icon to edit the text, or click the three dots to replace or delete the file.
