Hire matches people by email, phone or LinkedIn, never by name. Someone already in Hire gets the CV and only their empty fields filled. In a spreadsheet, a new person who may be someone you have is not added, and the row says who: the same name, a nickname, or the same address with a +tag (“looks like Le Thi Bich”). Add them by hand if they’re someone else. A shared inbox such as careers@ or hr@ is refused as a person.

If something looks wrong

  • A CV says Couldn’t read. It’s a scan, over 20 MB, not PDF or Word, or has no name.
  • A Do not contact column. Yes marks a new person Do not contact. People you have keep their own setting.
  • Wrong import. Select Undo import within 14 days. It keeps records someone worked on since.
