Candidate Profile

Last updated: April 9, 2026

The candidate profile gives you a complete view of a candidate — their contact details, experience, job application history, resume, notes, conversations, and activity. You can open a candidate profile from the Candidates tab inside a job, or from the Contacts page.

Profile layout

The candidate profile is split into two panels:

  • Left panel — displays the candidate's personal information, source, experience, education, skills, tags, and any additional fields configured for your account.

  • Right panel — contains tabs for Overview, Resume(s), Notes, Conversations, and Activity feed.

Left panel

Personal information

The top of the left panel shows the candidate's name, current role, primary email address, phone number, location, and timezone.

  • Click More to access the following actions:

Action

Source and credited to

Below the contact details, you can see how the candidate was sourced (e.g. Email Import, LinkedIn, Career page) and which team member is credited for bringing them into the pipeline.

Experience

The Experience section lists the candidate's work history — company name, job title, and employment dates. You can add, edit, or delete experience entries directly from this panel using the edit and delete icons on each entry.

Education

The Education section shows the candidate's academic background. If no education is found, you can add it manually using the Add Education link.

Skills

Skills are shown as tags. You can add or remove skills directly from the candidate profile using the Add another link.

Tags

Tags can be added to a candidate to help with categorization and filtering. Use Add another to apply additional tags.

Additional fields

If your team has configured custom contact fields (such as Work authorization, Current CTC, or other custom attributes), they appear here under Additional fields. Values can be filled in or edited directly from this section.

  5. Uploading a resume

    To add a new resume, click the Manage / upload dropdown and select Manage / upload from the bottom of the list, or use the drag-and-drop area at the bottom of the tab. You can also click to upload to browse and select a file from your device.

  6. Update from resume

    1. Each resume row has an Update from resume button. Clicking this re-parses the resume and updates the candidate's profile data — such as experience, education, and skills — based on the content of that resume.

    2. If the resume contains information that differs from the candidate's current profile (for example, a different email address), a confirmation dialog will appear showing the current information alongside the new information found in the resume. Click Confirm to apply the changes, or Cancel to leave the profile unchanged.

    3. The Job column next to each resume shows which job the resume is associated with. If the resume is linked to multiple jobs, the count is shown as a number (e.g. +8).

Use the visibility toggle at the bottom right of the notes input box to set this before submitting.

The Activity feed tab shows a chronological log of all actions taken on this candidate across all jobs — including stage moves, interviews scheduled, emails sent, and more. Each entry shows the team member who performed the action, a description of what happened, and a timestamp.

Deleted candidate banner

If a candidate was previously deleted and then re-added to Kula, a banner appears at the top of their profile reading: This candidate was deleted previously. Click See details to view more information about the deletion history.
