How to Parse Data from a Candidate’s Resume into their Beamery Profile

When you attach a resume to a candidate's profile, Beamery will automatically add information from the document into the candidate profile. When a unique identifier like an email address is included, Beamery will also enrich candidate data with social information to provide you with a full 360-degree view of each contact in your database.

When an attachment is parsed and information is added to the Beamery Profile, all email addresses found on the attachment will be added to the Profile. 

Attach a Resume in a Candidate Profile

1. To attach a resume, navigate to the candidate's profile by searching for their name in the Beamery search bar. This will take you to their profile.
2. On the candidate's profile, click on the "Attachments" tab, then click the blue "upload attachment" button at the top right-hand side of the screen.
   
3. The "choose file" window will now appear. You can either drag & drop the document into the window, or click the "Choose File" button to manually select the file to attach.
   
4. Wait for the upload to complete. You will see an "Upload Successful" message appear. You can now close the window.
5. The Beamery parsing engine will begin parsing information from the attached resume to the candidate's profile automatically.
   
   When an attachment is parsed and information is added to the Beamery Profile, all email addresses found on the attachment will be added to the Profile.  The uploaded resume should have elements like contact information, work history and education history to be identified as a resume and be correctly parsed by Beamery, otherwise it can lead to bad parsing
   
   
6. To view the resume in Beamery, simply click on the "Show" link below the name of the file. You may also copy the attachment URL in order to share it outside of Beamery. See below for how to delete an attachment.

Click on the "remove" link below the name of the attachment file. You will see a pop-up window asking you to confirm the permanent deletion of the attachment. Confirm that you would like to remove the attachment.
