Adding candidates manually
You can add candidates manually to a job when they were not found through AI sourcing or outreach.
This is useful when candidates come from external sources such as:
✔ ATS
✔ LinkedIn applications
✔ Job boards
✔ Referrals
✔ Email applications
✔ Internal databases
Adding candidates manually allows you to include them in the same structured workflow.
When to add candidates manually
Use manual addition when:
A candidate already applied
You received a CV outside the platform
The candidate comes from an ATS
The candidate was referred
You want to evaluate someone outside sourcing
Manual candidates can go through the same workflow as sourced candidates.
How to add a candidate manually
Go to Jobs
Open the job
Go to the Pipeline
Click Add candidate
Enter the candidate information
Save
The candidate will appear in the pipeline.
You can now run screening, scoring, and comparison.
What you can do after adding a candidate
After adding a candidate, you can:
✔ Run AI screening
✔ Send outreach
✔ Fill scorecards
✔ Capture interviews
✔ Compare candidates
✔ Generate reports
✔ Sync with ATS
Manual candidates are treated the same as sourced candidates.
Adding candidates to imported jobs
If the job was imported from LinkedIn or an ATS, you can still add candidates manually.
This is useful when:
Some candidates applied externally
Some candidates were sourced manually
Some candidates come from referrals
All candidates can be evaluated in the same pipeline.

Use the same scorecards
Generate consistent reports
Make objective decisions
Manual addition helps keep all candidates in one system.
