Flo reads a CV and fills in the Candidate: name, email, phone, LinkedIn, location, current role and company, skills and notes. If the person is already in Hire, the CV goes on their record instead of making a second one.

​
Steps

  1. Open Candidates.
  2. Select Add from CV, then choose the file. Or drop one CV anywhere on the page.
  3. The button reads Reading CV… while Flo reads it. It takes a few seconds.

You can also attach a CV in a Flo chat and ask Flo to add the person.

​
What happens next

  • Hire opens the new Candidate on its Files tab, with the CV. A message says what Flo filled, with Undo.
  • If the CV disagrees with what’s already there, the Files tab shows “<file> says something else”, with Use CV per field and Keep all current.
  • Add the Candidate to a Job from their page.

​
Troubleshooting

  • “<Name> is already in Hire”. The CV has the same email, phone or LinkedIn as someone you have. Select Add to <Name> to put the CV on their record, or Cancel.
  • “Upload a PDF or Word CV that has text, not a scan.” Hire can’t read text from the file. Ask for a PDF or Word version.
  • “Flo couldn’t find a name in this CV”. Add the person with Add candidate, then add the file on their Files tab.
  • Several files. Dropping several files, or a spreadsheet, opens an import instead. See How to import candidates.
