Accessing Resume Harvester

1. Navigate to the Candidates module, click the Source Boosters drop-down, and select Resume Harvester.
   
2. You will then see two sub-tabs, namely;
   
1. Manual
   
2. Automate
   

Manual

How it works

1. When you access the Resume Harvester option, the Manual section will be displayed by default.
   
2. Fill-in the Job Title or Keywords under What and select a Location in the Where field. Click Find Resumes when you're done.
   
3. You will then see a list of candidates in the Search Results page.
   
   
4. Click on a candidate to view more details about their profile. You can them add them to your Candidates module by clicking Add to Zoho Recruit.
   
5. You can also add candidates in bulk from the Search Results page.
   
6. The search results from each selected source booster can be viewed by clicking their respective sub-tabs. You can further filter the search results using the filter panel in the left. 
   
   

Note: Each Source Booster has different filter options as it is based on the options provided by the related job board.

Automate

The Auto Search function of Resume Harvester automatically finds and adds candidate profiles that fit the criteria you have specified. You can control when the search should expire, the maximum limit of candidates that can be added, and more.

How it works

When you create an Auto Search, Resume Harvester automatically gathers candidate profiles that match your specified criteria from the selected source booster(s). The auto search will keep running until the configured candidate limit or expiry date is reached.

Important Note:

1. When candidates are added via an Auto Search, credits will be consumed from your linked job board account.
   
2. When an Auto Search is created, a one-day scheduler is automatically initiated.
   
3. During each scheduler run, candidates are fetched from the selected source booster(s) based on the criteria defined in the search.
   
1. If only one source booster is selected, the top 10 candidates found from the selected source booster will be added to Zoho Recruit on every scheduler run.
   
2. If more than source boosters are selected, the top 5 candidates from each job board will be added to Zoho Recruit on every scheduler run.
   
4. The scheduler will be suspended if the configured candidate limit or expiry date is reached.
   
5. If the user lacks sufficient permissions, storage, or encounters any login issues, the scheduler will be suspended. In such cases, a notification will be sent to the user and all associated actions (Adding Tags, Associating a Job with the candidate, etc.) will be stopped.
6. If an action is associated with the auto search and the user who configured the search has their permissions revoked, the search will not be suspended but the associated action will be skipped.

4. Click Save when you're done. The auto search will then be created and listed in the Automate section.
