How to submit faster and avoid sourcing duplicate profiles

Sometimes, downloading CVs and uploading them, finding profiles that have not been sourced yet when a job has been opened for days can be really hard. This is why we created a light Chrome extension.

This extension allows you to submit your profiles directly to your Visage jobs while you are on websites looking for candidates.

This extension will also automatically show you the profiles that are already being considered for all our opportunities that are open for sourcing.

You'll also be able to see if these candidates were accepted or disqualified.

This way you can improve your performance and not waste your time looking at profiles that will not be accepted by our platform because they will be considered duplicates.

Here is how it works:

  • Click on the extension menu button and click on the login

  • Once you sign in you should stay signed in for a while. We do need your help though, please let us know if this is not the case for you.

  • Make sure you log in using the SAME METHOD (in most cases LinkedIn) as your Visage.jobs account.

  • Browse your favorite supported sites ( LinkedIn, Monster, and Careerbuilder) looking for candidates

Uploading profiles:

  • When you claim a job on Visage the extension will detect it automatically

  • When you go to a profile on Linkedin and click the " Save to PDF ", a pop-up will open asking you to confirm the candidate info and email address and that's it! Your candidate is submitted.

Checking duplicates:

  • Every time you run a new search, if there is a candidate that is already being considered for our jobs, you will see “submitted” written against their names on the main search results page.

  • Click on the Visage extension button to see a list of all the candidates that have already been submitted on your page and if they have been validated or not.

  • You will now be able to see if a candidate has already been submitted from the LinkedIn Candidate profile page, and not just the search results page on LinkedIn.

Here is a video that will show you all the steps:

  • From installing the chrome extension to uploading candidates on Visage

Good to know:

  • Please keep in mind that there will still be in some cases duplicates that are not detected and in very rare cases candidates that will be flagged as duplicates where they have not been submitted already. This is normal, we will continue working on improving the extension over time.

This extension is compatible with LinkedIn, Ziprecruiter, and Xing for now and is available on the Chrome Web Store, you can download it here.

What you need to do in case you are getting an error when trying to log in on the extension:

  • When you install the extension it will automatically open the settings and you need to go down below and turn the toggle on for “Allow access to file URLs”

  • If the extension does not work despite the current solutions, make sure you log in with the extension the same way you log in to the sourcer website. For example, if you used LinkedIn to signup on the sourcer website:

    • Click on the extension icon,

    • Click on Login in the extension,

    • Scroll down and click the "Continue with LinkedIn" button

    • Here is a video showing the process.
