Table of Contents
When adding a candidate via the browser extension, the name fields (First Name and Last Name) must contain only alphabetic (A-Z, a-z) characters. Non-alphabetic characters—including non-Latin scripts (such as Japanese, Chinese, etc.), numbers, and special characters (such as parentheses)—are not supported and will result in an error.
In the lower-left corner of the Candidate Inbox's left panel, you can select the + Add Candidate button.
The Add New Candidate page then opens, where candidate details can be added and an interview can be scheduled, if needed. Ensure to select Add Candidate in the lower-right corner to properly add them.
