Applicants can be added to folders in four ways:

  • Applicant can self-register via a web site.
  • Create the applicant information from their MS-Word document resume.
  • Import the applicants using the Applicant Import Wizard.
  • Manually add the applicant to the system.

In this article you will use the manual signup process and the import process.

In later examples, you will learn how the MS-Word SmartResume and Signup pages work.

Associating an Applicant with an Account

If this person works for an existing company in the system, then you have the option of associating this applicant as a contact within that company, and also as an applicant.
