When applying to a position, applicants can provide their resume in one of two ways – they can copy/paste their resume or they can upload a copy of their resume located on their C Drive. When an application is submitted, its contents can be searched by a hiring manager through the system’s search function.
No set-up of this feature is required. By default, Upload Resume is active in the online hiring system. Users need only determine if a resume is to be required or optional when editing a position template. If a resume is to be required, all applicants for the posting must provide a resume in order to complete the job application. If a resume is optional, the applicant may add a resume to the job application or may skip that step altogether and proceed with the job application.
The Job Applicant’s Experience:
-
Upload a resume: Applicants click Upload Resume, browse their computer files, and upload a resume in one of the following acceptable file types:
-
.doc
-
.docx
-
.pdf
-
.txt
-
.rtf
-
- Once the resume is uploaded, the system automatically converts it to plain text and displays it in the text field where further editing may be performed.
-
Copy/paste a resume: Applicants paste resume content directly into the text box. This content is automatically converted into plain text and all formatting is removed. Applicants may then edit the content if desired.
The System User’s Experience
A user may search applicant files by entering a keyword(s) from the My Positions page or Applicant Queue. Simply enter a word or words in the Search box and click Search. For example, you can search the word “bilingual” to see if any applicant files contain that word.
