Candidate intake for recruitment agencies

Stop re-keying CVs. Keep the source attached.

Add a supported digital PDF, DOCX or TXT candidate document. RecruitmentStrike can prepare a structured record for consultant review, link extracted values to their source passages and leave missing evidence visible.

Less re-keying. Visible provenance. Your consultants still make the call.

  • Digital PDF, DOCX and TXT
  • Source evidence beside extracted fields
  • Human review before duplicate resolution

The admin drag

The CV arrives once. The same data gets typed again and again.

Candidate details are copied into the CRM, ATS, notes and shortlist. Under pressure, that is also the first job to be skipped.

RecruitmentStrike treats the document as a source. The record, the passages behind it and the next review point stay connected.

What one document gives you

Formats
Digital PDF, DOCX and plain text
Contact
Name, email, phone and location, ready for a consultant to check
History
Roles, employers and dates in sequence
Skills
Stated skills and tools, kept in the candidate's own words
Evidence
Each populated value links back to the passage it came from
Gaps
Missing details are named on the record, never quietly guessed
Duplicates
A possible match with an existing record arrives with its reason attached

The handoff

A document in. A reviewable record out.

Candidate intake follows the same evidence-and-review pattern as the work that follows.

Candidate intake

A supported CV becomes a reviewable record without the re-keying.

  1. arrives

    Document added

    PDF, DOCX or plain text is filed against the right project.

  2. prepared

    Fields structured

    The active recruitment pack defines what belongs on the record.

  3. receipt

    Evidence checked

    Every extracted value must match its claimed source passage.

  4. review

    Duplicate proposal

    If records may match, the reason returns to a consultant.

  5. next

    Record ready

    Review the record, correct it or continue the recruitment workflow.

Field provenance · fictional data

Known, set by a person or still to ask.

These states remain different on purpose. A convincing guess is not evidence, and a consultant correction should not disappear the next time a document is read.

Ask candidate

  • An extracted value without a matching source passage is rejected
  • Fields outside the active pack stay out of the record
  • What the document does not say remains unfilled
  • Consultant edits survive when the document is read again

Duplicate review

Likely duplicates are proposed, never silently merged.

The review queue shows why two records may describe the same person. A consultant chooses which record to keep or marks them as different. Until then, both remain separate and usable.

Why it matched

  • Same email address
  • Same telephone number
  • Same name and postcode
  • Same name, employer and title

The queue explains the strongest matching evidence. It does not bulk-merge or act on a score.
