An interview says a lot, but rarely the exact dates, the full job titles, or the degrees. The CV brings them. Attached to an interview, it completes the candidate’s profile and flags the gaps between what’s written and what was said.

​
Upload a CV

You upload the CV from the Analysis panel of the interview.
1

Open the Analysis panel

On the interview page, click Analysis in the vertical bar on the right.
2

Find the Add the CV bar

It sits at the top of the panel, with a dotted border and the hint “Fills in dates and degrees, flags gaps with the interview”.
3

Drop the file

Click Upload to pick a file, or drag the PDF straight onto the bar.
4

Let the processing run

The bar shows the progress: Uploading file, then Reading the content, Structuring the profile, and Enriching the profile.
The file must be a PDF of 10 MB at most. Any other format is refused with the message “Only PDF files are accepted”.
Uploading a CV regenerates all the interview notes already produced for this interview, so they take into account what the CV brings. Any edits you made to those notes are replaced. Upload the CV before you rework the text.

​
What the CV changes

Once processing is done, the bar shows CV analyzed and sums up what the CV added, for example “4 fields filled in · 2 transcript corrections”. Three effects add up:
  • The profile is completed. Jobs, dates, education, certifications, and languages are enriched from the CV. The panel’s Profile section opens to show you the result.
  • Gaps come up. When the CV contradicts the interview, the item appears in the To decide list with the CV mismatch marker. When you expand it, you see side by side what was said on the Interview line and what’s written on the CV line. Hirify flags the difference. It doesn’t settle it for you.
  • The transcript is corrected. Proper names and terms misheard during the interview are fixed from the CV. In the Transcript tab, these words are underlined with dots. Hover over them to see the original version and the correction.

​
Replace or delete the CV

Once the candidate analysis is available, the bar disappears and the CV folds into the CV analyzed marker in the panel header. Click it. The menu shows the file name, the date it was added, and its page count. It offers Replace the CV and Delete the CV. As long as the panel has no candidate analysis to show, the bar stays in place under the CV analyzed title. It has a Replace button and, on hover, a trash icon that deletes the CV.
Deleting the CV removes it and clears from the analysis the gaps it had flagged. Name corrections already applied to the transcript are kept.

​
When processing fails

The bar stays on screen and gives the reason: Password-protected file, Unsupported file format, Couldn’t read the content, File too large, Network error, or Processing failed. The Replace button lets you send another file. A password-protected CV, or one made of poor-quality images, can’t be read. Export it again as a PDF from the original document, or carry on without it. The interview is still analyzed.

​
Good to know

  • You can only upload a CV to a completed interview.
  • One CV per interview. To change it, use Replace the CV. The previous one is overwritten.
  • While a CV is being processed, Hirify refuses a new upload and tells you so.
  • If the interview is linked to an application in your ATS, Hirify fetches the CV attached to that application. A CV you upload yourself always wins. It will never be replaced by the one from the application.
  • The CV feeds the candidate analysis for this interview. It isn’t sent back to your ATS.
  • Accepted format: PDF only. Word processor files must be exported to PDF before you upload them.
