Easily merge multiple profiles

A candidate's email is a unique feature that will create a new candidate profile. You might have multiple profiles for the same person. This may occur when a candidate applies with a different email address or when you have a previous candidate profile with a missing email.

To resolve this situation, we have a function to merge candidate profiles. You can find the option in the Talent Pool page: make a quick search for the profiles, select them and click Merge.

Teamdash lists the fields where the two profiles have different information. For each field, click the value that should remain after the merge. When all conflicts are resolved, click Merge.

Finding possible duplicates

Teamdash notifies you of possible duplicates when profiles have overlapping fields, for example the same name or the same phone number. The email address is unique, so a second profile with the same email is not created. The notice is shown on the candidate card and in the candidate profile:

As a human, you can decide whether two applicants have the same name or there's one person behind two profiles.

Merging possible duplicates can be done via the candidate profile view:

Benefits

By consolidating duplicate candidate records, this feature promotes data accuracy, reducing the risk of errors or inconsistencies in candidate information. It streamlines administrative tasks by eliminating the need to manage multiple records for the same individual and ensuring a positive candidate experience.
