# A guide to the CandiKeep workbench

What CandiKeep supports today: resume imports, searchable candidate profiles, call notes, reviewed updates, role workspaces and exports.

Understand the workbench before putting your candidate knowledge into it.

## What you can do today

| Job | Current behavior |
| --- | --- |
| Import existing resumes | Upload text-readable PDF and DOCX files to create structured candidate profiles. Original resumes remain available to view or download. |
| Rediscover candidates | Search names, contact details, skills and roles. Apply company, current-location and maximum current INR CTC filters. Optional AI refinement can help assess supporting evidence. |
| Keep call context | Save natural recruiting notes against a candidate. Processing extracts proposed profile changes and displays the outcome. |
| Resolve conflicting information | Clear additions can apply automatically. Changed existing information and conflicting claims are brought for review. Profiles can also be edited directly. |
| Organize a role | Add candidates to named workspaces, track role-specific status and follow-ups, and retain role-specific feedback. |
| Prepare a handoff | Export selected candidate profiles as an Excel sheet with resumes in one ZIP. Sending that ZIP is a separate action. |

## How candidate information stays useful

A resume and a later conversation can disagree. CandiKeep keeps source context and review history so accepted candidate information can be corrected rather than simply accumulating incompatible notes.

Search uses accepted candidate information. Raw note text and original resume bodies are not independently treated as current facts in search. Pending disputes retain the previously accepted information and show a review warning. A statement present only in an unprocessed note may therefore not appear in results.

A resume describes what its source said at the time. Importing it does not verify someone’s current role, availability or compensation. Confirm important details with the candidate and record when they were observed.

## Practical limits

- Imports support PDF and DOCX, up to 10 MB per file and 40 PDF pages. Scanned PDFs that need OCR are not supported.
- Contact matching uses normalized email or phone. Ambiguous matches need selection; people without reliable identifiers can still become duplicates.
- Maximum current CTC filtering is in INR and excludes candidates whose current CTC is unknown. It is not a filter on expected compensation.
- AI extraction and matching can omit, duplicate or misinterpret information. Review source evidence and important profile details.
- The product is an individual workbench. Shared team roles, call recording, transcription, automated outreach and a mobile application are not available.
