Folders

Employers create folders on the site to sort the resumes that applied to their jobs, for example “Second interview” or “Keep for later”. Folders in the left menu shows every employer’s folders, lets you approve new ones, and opens a folder to see the resumes in it.

The Folders screen with the Add New Folder button, the filter bar (Name, Company Name, Select Status) and one folder, Strong PHP candidates for Northwind Labs, Approved, with a Resume (2) link.

Folders → Folders lists folders that have been approved or rejected.

Column Shows
Name The folder’s name. Click it to edit the folder.
Company The company of the employer who owns the folder.
Status Approved in green, or Rejected in red.
Resume The number of resumes in the folder, e.g. Resume (3). Click it to open the folder.

Filter by Name, Company Name and Select Status, then click Search; Reset clears the filters. In 1.5.3 Select Status offers Publish (approved folders) and Unpublish, which lists pending folders but labels them Rejected. Rejected folders cannot be filtered on.

When Folder Auto Approve is set to No under Configurations → Employer, each new folder an employer creates waits in Folders → Approval Queue before the employer can use it. The queue shows the Name, Company and Status (Pending) of each folder, and two buttons under Action: the tick approves the folder, the cross rejects it.

Only approved folders are offered to the employer, and on the applications screen, when a resume is copied to a folder.

Click Resume (n) in the list to open Folders Resume: the resumes in the folder, each with the job seeker’s name, salary range, location, category, job type and your star rating for the application. Filter by name or job type. Edit Resume opens the resume (see Editing a resume).

To put a resume into a folder, use Copy To Folder on the applications screen. The resume is filed together with the job it applied to.
