Learn five simple ways to add candidates to Firefish. From uploading CVs to manual entry or integrations, this guide ensures accurate, efficient data entry tailored to your workflow.
Manual Registration
Choose People on the top menu, then New Person from the menu that appears:
On the New Person screen the surname and email address search helps you to avoid creating duplicates. Search by surname or email address first to make sure the person does not exist already as a contact or candidate in your database. If there is a no match you can them simply select Create New Candidate.
If there is a match on the surname or email address, and the person already exists, then press Activate or Update on the relevant column to activate them as a candidate or contact on an existing record or update the key personal information.
If the person has an archived candidate record, you can also unarchive from this page:
If you have the Ownership field enabled for candidates, this will default to the user creating the record. If you don't have Ownership enabled but would like it, super users can email support to request this.
Email Add-in
The Firefish email add-in for Outlook allows you to upload emails you have received into Firefish as well as create new contacts and candidates. You can also automatically log all of your responses to your candidates and contacts directly from Outlook.

LinkedIn Chrome Extension
The Firefish Chrome Extension for LinkedIn allows you to seamlessly create and update candidate and contact records in your Firefish database. The extension works by reading a person's LinkedIn Profile, and then automatically populating the fields with relevant information.
