Recruiter PDF CV upload
Add PDF CVs received through email, referrals, agencies, or other existing channels, with the source document kept on the candidate record.
Intake
Turn every application into review-ready evidence
Skilltage Intake gives every PDF CV a clear path from upload to review. Keep the original document, processing status, and next action visible while AI-assisted processing prepares candidate evidence for human review.
CVs do not all arrive in the same place. Bring applications from email, agencies, referrals, or a public application link into one traceable flow and see when each candidate is ready to review.
What Intake brings together
Candidate application portal
Publish a localized application form and give candidates a clear, direct way to apply for the role.
CV and motivation letter together
Process an optional motivation letter alongside the candidate's PDF CV, so both sources reach the same review profile.
One focused candidate question
Ask one optional, role-relevant question and present the organisation's approved application disclaimer before submission.
Visible processing and retry
See whether each document is queued, processing, ready, or blocked, then retry a recoverable failure when needed.
Review-ready evidence profiles
Move processed candidate evidence into the review workspace with the original document still available for verification.
Bring every application into one intake
Applications rarely arrive through one neat channel. Some land in an inbox, some come through an agency or referral, and others arrive through a direct application link. Skilltage Intake brings them into the same recruitment case, with a clear path from incoming PDF CV to review-ready evidence.
Keep using the channels that already work
When an application arrives outside Skilltage, a recruiter can upload the PDF CV directly to the relevant case. The original document stays attached to the candidate record, so reviewers can return to the source instead of relying on an extracted summary alone.
Give candidates a clear way to apply
Regular Hiring and High Volume include a localized candidate application portal. Publish the form, share the role-specific link, and collect the candidate's PDF CV and optional motivation letter in one flow. Add one focused candidate question when the role calls for it, and present the organisation's approved application disclaimer before submission.
Know what is happening to every document
An uploaded file should not disappear into an unexplained waiting state. Intake shows whether each document is queued, processing, ready, or blocked. When a recoverable failure stops the flow, recruiters can retry it; when a document should not continue, they can remove it from the case.
Move into review with the source still in reach
Once processing is complete, the candidate profile moves into Review with structured facts and evidence against the role's confirmed requirements. The original application document remains available beside that analysis, giving reviewers a direct way to check the source when evidence is incomplete or uncertain.
Preparation, not selection
Intake prepares application material; it does not decide who moves forward. It does not automatically reject, shortlist, rank, or hire candidates. Recruiters choose the review state, decide progression, and control candidate communication.
