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.

Go to WP Job Portal → Resume → Approval Queue. The page is titled Resume Approval Queue.

The queue has the same search and sort tools as the resume list, without the status filter.

Resume Approval Queue with a pending resume and its View, Edit, Approve and Reject buttons

  1. To read the resume first, select View. To correct it, select Edit.
  2. In the queue, select Approve or Reject on the resume’s row.
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 Email Templates → Resume Status. See Email templates.

Each row also has Delete and Force Delete. Delete refuses if the resume has been used in an application; Force Delete removes the resume with its applications and files. To delete several, tick them and select Delete at the top. See Managing resumes.

  1. Go to WP Job Portal → Configuration and open the Resumes tab.
  2. Under Resume Settings, set Resume Auto Approve.
  3. Select Save Changes.

With Resume Auto Approve on, new resumes are approved as soon as they’re saved and never reach the queue.
