There are a few ways to create a new Contact within Hotlist, you can manually insert their information, or you can use the Create from CV option, and this will automatically insert information for you.

Manual

Click on Contacts in the Sidebar

Click on the + New Icon at the top

You can then insert the contacts First Name, Last Name, Latest Employer, Job Title, Email, Mobile, Other Phone and the Address details.

Once you Click Save, you can then click on the Experience tab and insert any work experience (users are unable to add any experience until the new Contact is saved).

Automatic

Click on Contacts in the Sidebar

Click on the Create from CV Icon

Click Upload File and navigate to where you have saved the CV.

When you click on the CV to upload, the system will magically read the CV and will parse some of the information from the CV and automatically insert the First Name and Last Name, Current Job Title, Address, Mobile and Email.  It will also pull out the Work Experience and insert the Date Ranges, Job Title and Employers Name.

Double check the details are all correct and when you are happy click Save (you can manually amend any information if needed)

It will then create a contact record for you within the system.
