There are four different ways to add new candidates into Mercury.
DaXtra
What
is daXtra?
DaXtra is
the number one CV parsing tool. It will read your CV, check for duplicates and
either create the record or update an existing record by updating the displayed
CV to the new one and updating any key data on the record.
How
do I use it?
This is the
simple part! You will be given an email address and all you need to do is
forward your candidates CV/document. The format will be: cv@companyname.com
Rules
and conditions
The
document must contain the candidates first name, last name and at least one
piece of contact data, such as personal email, mobile or home number. If there
is not the minimum required data, the candidate will not be created in Mercury.
A System Administrator will need to log into DaXtra Capture and check and manage the CV. Only one document can be attached to your
email when forwarding it to DaXtra.
How long does it take for my candidate
to appear in Mercury?
On average, 3-5 minutes. The maximum time should be around 15 minutes.
Manual Creation
How
do I manually create a candidate?
There are two options.
Either go to the Contact menu and click on the +New button at the top of the
ribbon or use the Quick Create, which you can find by clicking on the plus
button on the top right of your system.
LinkedIn Recruiter Integration
How
do I add candidates from Recruiter?
At least
one person within your business must have a full LinkedIn Recruiter or Sales
Navigator license to be able to use the integration. If that applies, everyone
can then use at least part of the integration. Only those with the full license
can export candidates from Recruiter to Mercury.
Please
watch the LinkedIn RSC video for a full understanding of how the integration
works.
Via your job boards
