Zita offers multiple ways to build your candidate database:

Importing Applicants from Various Sources.

Zita provides a seamless way to expand your candidate pool by importing candidate databases from local systems or external databases into your Zita account. This capability is particularly beneficial for streamlining the recruitment process for a specific job position.

Go to "Import Candidates" and select the "Applicant" tab.

Use the "Bulk import" button to start.

The time taken to import depends on the number of resumes. After clicking “OK”, the import will run in the background, allowing you to continue with other tasks.

After completing the import process in Zita, easily check the status of each candidate:

Green Tick: Indicates successful addition of the resume to your database. These candidates are automatically matched with available job openings.
Red Cross: Signifies incomplete import due to missing required fields. These resumes are not added to your database nor sent for job matching.

Zita will notify you via email once the import is complete, and you’ll also receive a notification on the platform.
All imported candidates are accessible under the "Applicants" tab in the "Import Candidates" section, and successfully imported candidates can be found under the "Applicants" tab in your "Database".

Sourcing Candidates from Talent Pool

This feature in Zita enables you to unlock candidate contacts from the Talent Sourcing database. To access these contacts, ensure you have sufficient credits available for purchase.

Note:

The option to buy credits and unlock candidate contacts is not available to users on Zita's free trial.

Go to the "Talent Sourcing" section located in the sidebar in Zita.

Search for candidates by entering "Job Title" and "Location", which are mandatory fields, along with optional filters like "Distance" and "Last Active" status. Once your criteria are set, click on “Find Candidates” to view the results.

Candidates matching your search criteria will be listed immediately.

Candidates contact details are initially masked. To unlock these details, you need to have Resume Contact Credits. Simply click on “Unlock” icon within the respective candidate’s snippet to reveal their contact information.

To unlock a candidate’s contact details, click the "OK" button on the prompt after selecting the "Unlock" icon.

To view these unlocked candidates, navigate to the "Database" section. The candidates you’ve unlocked will be added under the "Unlocked" tab in the database, where you now have complete access to their information.

Once you unlock a candidate’s contact, the "Unlock" icon will become disabled and be replaced by an icon indicating that the contact has been unlocked. Additionally, one credit will be deducted from your available credits.

If you need more resume contact credits, just add the needed amount and click "Buy" . After purchase, use these credits to unlock more resume contacts.
