Automated CV Import for D365 HR Recruitment add-on

Manual CV upload sucks, therefore is a long forgotten task, often done halfway or not even done. Unless the applicant applies and attaches the CV, it's unlikely that a person will dedicate time towards this task. Unless of course you have an intern, but that would be not so nice of you.


Anyway, as you may know D365 HR has released a recruitment application that supports talent management, and one of the features is cv parsing, and today I'm going to show you how to use it.


When you log into the Recruitment add-on the main dashboard that you will find is the following:

In the left hand you will find an option, underneath Hiring that states: Buik Resume Upload. But unless you have changed the environment variable Resume Parser to yes, you will need to do it. No worries, it's easy to sort.

Select the Environment variables on the end of the hamburger menu.

There are loads of variables to choose from. easiest way to find it is filter by contains and then add the word resume and then Apply.

Congrats, you found it!

Once in the variable scroll to where it says Default Value: and change it from no (that will be the default option) to yes, just as shown below.

Now we are back on the Bulk Resume Upload and will select Upload Resume.

This page will open and you can just drop the CV files, ideally if they have the name of the candidate is even better.

As you can see in the image below I haven't done it, that's why I'm recommending you to do it.

Once you have your files ready, just drop the files in the little square, as I did below.

The progress bar will show how the CVs are being parsed.

Once it's done, the status is shown below. I messed up, as you can tell.

I made mistakes, therefore I recommend you to check the errors and amend them. Lucky us is giving us the exact error so we can work on sorting it out.

And that's it! Imagine having 200 CVs and using this to just create your candidates, no Excel files, no eternal manual stuff.



So, that's how easy it is. Make sure to not make the same mistakes I did and you'll be awesome.
