Creating a Candidate

Get candidates into Lavalier in seconds so you can start evaluating, comparing, and moving them through your hiring process. All you need is a name—everything else can be added as you go.

How to Create a Candidate

You can create candidates throughout Lavalier—from the home screen, within roles, or during scheduling:

Upload a resume: Click Import Resume, upload the file, and Lavalier automatically creates the candidate profile and extracts key details.

Create manually:

1. Click New Candidate
2. Enter the candidate's First Name and Last Name (required)
3. Optionally add contact info, current role, profile links, pronouns, or other details
4. Click Create Candidate

Tip: Creating while scheduling? Start typing a name and click Add a new candidate to create and link them to the interview instantly.

What Happens Next

Once created, the candidate profile is your central hub for that person:

• Add them to roles to start associating them with the hiring pipeline and scheduling them for interviews
• Schedule interviews to move the candidate through the hiring process
• Compare them side-by-side with other candidates
  
  

The candidate is immediately searchable across Lavalier, making it easy for your team to find and act on their profile.
