Set up the Resume Builder

You can give candidates a resume builder and a public candidate directory. Most sites need no manual page work, because the candidate dashboard already opens the builder for you.

Candidates use the dashboard

On the candidate dashboard, My Resumes lists each resume with View, Edit and Delete. Edit opens the Resume Builder inside the dashboard. You do not need a separate builder page.

Create the Find Candidates page

The setup wizard creates a Find Candidates page at /find-candidates/. It holds the Resume Search Hero and Find Resumes blocks. A page created earlier at /find-resumes/ keeps working.

To check or change the page:

1. Go to Career Board → Settings → Pages.
2. Find Find Candidates Page. It is the page that holds the Find Resumes block.
3. Select the page and click Save Changes.

If the page is missing, click Create Missing Pages on the Pages tab. The Resumes tab shows Create Missing Resume Pages when the page is not set.

There is no page setting for the builder itself.

Choose who can browse and how many resumes

Go to Career Board → Settings → Resumes:

• Max Resumes Per Candidate - 1 to 20, default 2.
• Candidate directory visibility - who can browse the directory.
• Single resume visibility - who can open a resume page.

Click Save Resume Settings. See Resume Builder overview for what each choice means.

Put the builder on your own page

You can also place the builder on a page of your own.

1. Go to Pages → Add New.
2. Add a Shortcode block with [wcbp_resume_builder].
3. Publish the page.

The builder loads the resume named in the ?resume_id= address parameter. If the address has no valid resume_id for the signed-in candidate, it opens their most recently edited resume. The block has no settings in the editor.

To add fields to the builder, see Custom resume fields.
