📘 Candidate Creation - Via "People Match" Extension

📖 What is People Match?

People Match is Mantatal's Chrome extension that allows you to import candidates directly from LinkedIn with just one click. The extension reads the LinkedIn profile and automatically creates the candidate profile in Mantatal with all structured data.

Install the People Match extension by clicking here: Chrome Web Store Link

🎯 Objective

Quickly create candidate profiles by importing data directly from LinkedIn profiles. This functionality is useful because:

✅ Maximum speed - Candidate creation in seconds from LinkedIn

✅ Complete automation - All fields auto-populate automatically

✅ Zero errors - No manual transcription

✅ Integrated workflow - Direct association with specific Jobs

📋 Candidate Import and Job Association

5. Navigate to LinkedIn

• Open LinkedIn
• Search for and open the potential candidate's profile
• Open the People Match extension

6. (Optional) Associate with a Job

• Before creating the candidate, you can specify the Job to associate them with by selecting the desired Job from the dropdown menu. (if this field is not filled out, you will import the Candidate without associating them with any Job.)

7. Create the candidate

• In the People Match extension, click on "Create Candidate"
• Wait for processing (a few seconds)

8. Creation confirmation

• A confirmation appears that the candidate has been created successfully
• Click the "Open Candidate" button (or "View Candidate")
• The candidate's profile automatically opens in Mantatal and all candidate fields have auto-populated automatically with information from LinkedIn.

⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTES:

During LinkedIn import:

• ❌ The contact does not receive any email or notification about being included in a selection process.
• ❌ The resume is NOT imported from LinkedIn
• ✅ Only the structured data from the LinkedIn profile is imported

Implications for Custom CV generation:

If you want to create a Custom CV for a candidate imported from LinkedIn through Mantatal:

• Use the "Autopopulate from Mantatal Fields" option
• The "Autopopulate from Original Resume" option will NOT be available (since the CV is not present)

💡 Best Practices

When to use People Match:

• 🔍 Active sourcing on LinkedIn
• 📊 Massive candidate searches
• ⚡ When import speed is needed

When to upload CV manually:

• 📄 When you receive a CV via email and cannot find the candidate on LinkedIn. If the candidate is present on LinkedIn, we suggest importing the candidate from LinkedIn and then adding their CV in the "Resume" section within the "Candidate" page.
• 🎯 To have the original document available
