Candidates from channels they chose

Every candidate in TalentInitiator came through a channel they or your company agreed to: your careers page, a job board, an email forward, an import or their own upload. Each record says where it came from and on what legal basis.

Where candidates come from

Live channels work today. The others show their real state and the date it was recorded, and the product works around them.
ChannelWhat it doesState
Careers pageA bilingual careers page for each customer. Postings are checked against the posting rules before they go live, and every job has a “Report this posting” link.
Live
Résumé and CSV importDrag in PDF or Word résumés, a ZIP of them, or a CSV export from a job board, and map its columns. Duplicates are found by a keyed hash of the email or phone number.Live
Email intake addressEach job gets its own intake address, so applications that job boards send by email land on the right job with their source recorded.

States as of October 9, 2026. We check them again by November 30, 2026.

Candidates bring their own LinkedIn profile

A candidate can download their profile from LinkedIn as a PDF and upload it, or paste the text. They check the fields we read from it and correct anything wrong before a recruiter sees it.
  • The candidate starts it, from a link you send or the application form, and gives consent for that purpose.
  • Parsed fields are shown back to the candidate, who can fix a misread employer or date in one edit.
  • We never sign in to LinkedIn or any other site on a candidate’s behalf.

A source of record on every candidate

The source and legal basis are required fields. A candidate record cannot be saved without them.

Three legal bases, and no others

  • Consent: the candidate agreed, for example through a self-import link or a talent pool invitation.
  • Inbound application: the candidate applied to one of your jobs.
  • Contract: a client or partner provided the candidate under a written agreement.

The data model has no source type for profiles gathered from other websites, so there is nowhere to put one.
