Altamira Recruiting manages duplicate CVs so avoiding multiple entries for the same candidate in the database which can lead to errors and confusion.

When candidates apply for a vacancy, they can register on the Career Centre site. If they register and use this account on subsequent visits to the site, then duplicate management is not necessary. The candidate updates their CV from the Career Centre and this update is reflected in the CV database.

However, candidates do not always register on the site and those who do are sometimes unable to access their original CV. This can be due to them forgetting their credentials or because they no longer have access to their original email address. In such cases, the candidate submits a new application inserting a new CV which is added to the back office. The duplicate management feature recognizes that this CV is a duplicate of an already existing CV and merges them.

The duplicate feature:

• Marks the original CV as a previous version
• Copies all the activities, projects, vacancies, email etc., from the original CV to the new CV
• Marks the new CV as the latest version

The platform displays only the most recent version of the CV. Recruiters can access the previous versions of the CV directly from the user interface of the platform. To view a previous version of a CV:

1. Click on the iconin the CV list
2. Click on version of the CV you wish to view

You can select one of the CVs and click on Use this CV as the main CV to set it as the main one.
