Create a Candidate

Adding candidates to Minotaur is quick and flexible. You can enter their information manually, upload a single resume, or add multiple resumes at once — whichever works best for your workflow.

Option A: Fill Out a Form

Use this option when you want to enter a candidate's details by hand, for example if you don't have a resume file available yet.

  1. Click Candidates in the left-side menu.
  2. Click Add Candidate and select Fill Out a Form.
  3. Enter the candidate's information:
    • Full name
    • Phone number
    • Email address
    • Home address
    • Additional comments (optional)
  4. Click Save.

That's it! The candidate will appear in your list and you can start filling in their profile right away.

Option B: Upload a Single Resume

Got a resume file? Let Minotaur do the heavy lifting. It'll read the file and build the candidate profile for you automatically.

  1. Click Candidates in the left-side menu.
  2. Click Add Candidate and select Upload a Resume.
  3. Drag and drop the resume file, or click to browse and select it from your computer.
    • Accepted formats: .pdf, .doc, .docx
    • Maximum file size: 20 MB
  4. Click Upload.

Minotaur will parse the resume and populate the candidate's profile automatically. You can review and edit any of the extracted details afterward.

💡 Tip: After uploading, open the candidate's profile to double-check that all the parsed information looks correct — especially the email address and phone number.

Option C: Upload Multiple Resumes

Need to add a whole batch of candidates at once? This option lets you upload several resumes in one go — perfect when you receive a group of applications at the same time.

  1. Click Candidates in the left-side menu.
  2. Click Add Candidate and select Upload Multiple Resumes.
  3. Select or drag and drop all the resume files you want to upload.
  4. Click Upload.

Each resume will be processed separately, and a new candidate profile will be created for each file. You'll be able to see them all in your candidate list once the upload is complete.

Note: Each file must be in .pdf, .doc, or .docx format and cannot exceed 20 MB.
