Video Transcript<\/h3>\n

We\u2019re back for another Two Minute Tuesday, Main Sequence\u2019s series of short videos with tips, tricks, and tutorials to make you a more powerful user of PCRecruiter.<\/p>\n

This week, we\u2019re looking at creating a confidential or \u2018blinded\u2019 resume in PCRecruiter, which is a common task to perform before sending a candidate\u2019s information to a potential hiring authority.We\u2019re going to start by quickly parsing a resume into the system as a new candidate record. We\u2019ll click the icon at the upper right, choose \u2018Name\u2019, and then choose \u2018Parse from Resume\u2019. Clicking \u2018Start\u2019 launches the \u2018Add Resume\u2019 utility. Now we click \u2018Open\u2019 and select a\u00a0 \u00a0resume. The system parses the contact info from the resume header, and everything looks good, so we click \u2018Save\u2019 to store the new candidate.<\/p>\n

Now, we want to create a blinded copy of the document that\u2019s safe for distribution to a client. On the name record, we\u2019ll click \u2018Resume\u2019 to view the stored document. The \u2018blinded\u2019 option appears in the side bar. At the start, there is no blinded resume and we simply see a blank document. To start creating the confidential version, we mouse into the document and click on the gray pencil.<\/p>\n

This will launch whatever appropriate document editing software is installed on my machine – in this case MS Word – with a copy of the resume. Now, we simply go through the document, removing any identifiable information or details.<\/p>\n

When all of the necessary edits have been completed, I just close the editing software and save, which causes the system to upload the document back to the PCRecruiter database. Clicking the resume area to reload shows us that the new blind copy has been stored.<\/p>\n

Once I have this blinded resume on file, it becomes available as an option whenever I\u2019m sending resumes out of the database. For example, when I select names to email to a hiring contact in the pipeline, the Blinded resume appears as an option in my list of attachable files. When both a complete and blinded copy of the resume are present, PCR will default to selecting the confidential version.<\/p>\n

If you get a completely new resume from the candidate at a later date, you may need to update the blinded resume as well. If you don\u2019t want to edit the current blinded resume, you can use the \u2018delete\u2019 option in the actions menu to remove the blinded resume from the record, and then repeat the blinding process with the new resume. It\u2019s also worth noting that the original resume on file is the only one that\u2019s used for keyword searches. The blinded resume content is purely for use as a confidential copy to share with third parties, and doesn\u2019t affect the way a record is indexed by PCRecruiter\u2019s internal search engine.<\/p>\n
