Setting up your database


Now that we have a few initial things set up, we can move forward in helping you set up your database.

1) Import Candidates, contacts, and companies

You can import up to 10,000 candidates, contacts, and company records at once in the system.

You might also have a bunch of CVs or resumes that you want to add to the system and that can be easily done with our Resume Parser!

3) Invite teammates

Once you have signed up for our free trial or a paid subscription, you can also invite your teammates to the account.


Admin Settings 101


Now that we are done setting up the basic stuff, let’s move to the Admin Settings, where all the customizations take place. Everything inside the system can be customized according to your own workflow!

Account Management

  • Have access to the entire account’s number of records.

CRM Process Customization

  • Gain visibility into your revenue pipeline by defining distinct stages/milestones in your business development and delivery process. You can also tag a percentage amount to each stage to give you a more realistic and weighted view of potential revenue.

  • The “Job Status” helps you quickly figure out in which stage a job is. You can also add your own stages to better manage your unique workflow.

Jobs in the “Closed” stage will stop being posted on your website's careers page and on external job boards.

  • Create a customized PDF report for candidates with the information you choose and a detailed candidate summary.

More CRM Process Customization

There are several other customizations that you can do from here:

  1. Customize your invoice before sending it out to your clients;

  2. Add call types, note types, and meeting types to categorize your notes, calls and meetings and optimize the searching process;

  3. Add custom headers and footers including cover letter and watermarks to your formatted resume;

  4. Choose the fields you wish to share with your clients and make them default;

Data Customization

  • You can choose which fields you wish to be visible in the lists and in the add/edit forms. You can also add custom fields to make it more personalized.

  • Create your own email templates and have access to the standard email templates from the system.

Job Settings

  • You can customize, and configure your job page or career site and change the appearance of the page very easily.
