# Adding applicants

> The six ways to get candidates into Enfue: manual entry, PDF CV, LinkedIn, from Enfue, bulk data migration, and the Enfue Chrome extension.

Most applicants reach Enfue on their own, through your [career page](/workplace/career-page) or the channels in a job's [Integrations](/hiring/jobs/job-integrations) tab. When you find a candidate yourself, add them with **Add applicants**.

Click **Add applicants** in the top-right corner of the **Applicants** page, or on a job's Applicants tab. The **Add Applicants** window opens with six tabs.

| Method | Best for |
| - | - |
| [Manually](#add-an-applicant-manually) | Entering a candidate's details yourself. |
| [Use PDF CV](#add-from-a-pdf-cv) | You have one CV and want Enfue to fill in the details. |
| [From LinkedIn](#add-from-linkedin) | You found the candidate on LinkedIn. |
| [From enfue](#add-from-enfue) | The candidate already has an Enfue profile. |
| [Data migration](#import-many-applicants) | Adding many applicants at once from files. |
| [enfue Chrome](#use-the-enfue-chrome-extension) | Adding candidates while you browse the web. |

## Add an applicant manually

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the Manually tab">
    This tab is selected by default when you click **Add applicants**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add a photo and assignee (optional)">
    Click the photo circle to upload a picture. Click the **double arrow** next to it to mark the applicant as high priority. The assignee is set to you; pick someone else if needed, or click **Assign to me**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Fill in the details">
    | Field | Notes |
    | - | - |
    | **Full Name** | Required. |
    | **Source** | Where you found the candidate. Defaults to **Approaching**, meaning your team reached out to them. |
    | **Email**, **Phone number** | Used to contact the applicant and to detect [duplicates](/hiring/jobs/duplicates). |
    | **Job** | The job you're adding them to. |
    | **Talent Pools** | Add them to one or more [talent pools](/hiring/talent-pools) at the same time. |
    | **Social**, **Portfolio** | Links to their profiles or work. |
    | **Labels** | Tags to help you find them later. |

  </Step>

  <Step title="Save">
    Click the add button at the bottom of the window. The applicant appears in your list.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Add from a PDF CV

Let Enfue read the CV and create the applicant for you.

1. Open the **Use PDF CV** tab.
2. Click **Upload CV** and choose a .pdf file up to 5 MB.
3. Click **Add**.

<Tip>
  Check the new applicant's profile after adding them, and fill in anything the CV didn't include, such as the job or source.
</Tip>

## Add from LinkedIn

1. Open the **From LinkedIn** tab.
2. Paste the candidate's LinkedIn profile link, for example `https://www.linkedin.com/in/username`.
3. Click **Retrieve**. Enfue pulls in their profile details.
4. Click **Add**.

## Add from Enfue

Use the **From enfue** tab to search Enfue's own database of job seekers and add someone as an applicant. This lets you reach candidates who have a profile on Enfue but haven't applied to your company yet.

## Import many applicants

The **Data migration** tab imports applicants in bulk. Choose an import type, pick the job under **Select job to import the data**, then drag and drop your files or click **browse**, and click **Upload**.

| Import type | File format |
| - | - |
| **Resume PDFs** | `.pdf`, or a `.zip` containing PDFs |
| **Candidate Spreadsheet** | `.csv`, `.xls`, or `.xlsx` |
| **CVs & Evaluations** | `.zip` |

See [Import applicants into a job](/hiring/jobs/data-migration) for more detail.

## Use the Enfue Chrome extension

The **Enfue Recruiter** extension for Google Chrome lets you add candidates while you browse, without copying details by hand.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the Chrome Web Store">
    Open the **enfue Chrome** tab and click **Open Google Chrome Extension**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Find the extension">
    Search for **enfue recruiter**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Install it">
    Click **Add to Chrome** next to **Enfue Recruiter**.
  </Step>
</Steps>
