Edit a candidate profile

Update a candidate's contact details, work history, education, skills, and custom fields after they've been added to Recruiterflow.

Written by Amritanshu Anand

Update a candidate's details — contact info, work history, education, skills, custom fields — any time after they've been added to Recruiterflow. Edits are saved instantly and reflected everywhere the candidate appears: jobs, pipelines, reports, and sequences.

What you can edit

Two main types of fields live on a candidate profile:

  • Header fields — name, job title, current company, location, email, phone number, social profiles. Edited from the three-dot menu next to the candidate's name.

  • Card-level fields — experience, education, skills, custom fields. Edited directly from each card on the profile.

Edit header fields

  1. Open the candidate's profile.

  2. Click the three dots next to the candidate's name.

  3. Select Edit.

  4. Update any of the header fields — name, job title, company, location, email, phone, social profiles.

  5. Click Update.

Edit cards (experience, education, skills, custom fields)

  1. Scroll to the card you want to update — Experience, Education, Skills, or Custom Fields.

  2. Click the Edit icon on that card.

  3. Update the values and save.

Example

A candidate changes jobs mid-process. The recruiter opens the profile, hits the three-dot menu, updates Current Company and Job Title, and clicks Update. She then opens the Experience card, adds the new role with start date, and saves. The candidate's record is current — and the new title shows up wherever the candidate appears in pipelines, reports, and sequence merge fields.

Things to know

  • Edits sync immediately. There's no separate "publish" step.

  • If a candidate is in an active Sequence, updated email or merge-field values will be used in the next message — keep this in mind before bulk-editing.

  • Custom field options are managed in Workspace Settings by Admins. If a value isn't available in the dropdown, ask an Admin to add it.

  • Activity history is preserved — older versions of edited fields show up in the candidate's Activity tab in case you need to trace a change.
