Approving resumes
When auto-approve is off, resumes that job seekers create wait in the approval queue until you approve them. Use it if you want to check candidates before employers can find them.
Open the approval queue
Section titled “Open the approval queue”Go to WP Job Portal → Approvals → Resumes. The page is titled Resumes waiting for approval.
WP Job Portal → Approvals on its own lists everything waiting, of every kind, under Everything waiting. To find a resume, type in Search by name or who sent it and select Search.
Approve or reject a resume
Section titled “Approve or reject a resume”Point at the resume’s row to show its actions.
- To read or correct the resume first, select its title or Edit.
- Select Approve or Reject.
| Action | What happens |
|---|---|
| Approve | The resume becomes Approved and moves to the resume list. The job seeker gets the Resume Status email |
| Reject | The resume becomes Rejected and moves to the resume list. The job seeker gets the Resume Status email |
The emails are set up in Emails → Templates → Resume Status. See Email templates.
Delete resumes from the queue
Section titled “Delete resumes from the queue”Each row on the Resumes tab also has Delete. It works as in the resume list and refuses if the resume has been used in an application. To delete several, tick them and select Delete in the bar that appears. See Managing resumes.
Turn auto-approve on or off
Section titled “Turn auto-approve on or off”- Go to WP Job Portal → Settings and open the Resumes tab.
- Under Resume Settings, set Resume Auto Approve.
- Select Save Changes.
With Resume Auto Approve on, new resumes are approved as soon as they’re saved and never reach the queue.
