Occy is integrated with the CV Library CV database, allowing you to search for suitable candidates using a range of criteria and add them straight to your jobs or candidate library, all within your occy dashboard.

This article will guide you through how to set up and use this function, including how to purchase access to the database from CV Library.

Access & Setup

Access to the CV Library CV database can be purchased via your occy account manager or directly from CV Library by customers with a CV Library account. The price depends on how long you would like access to the database and includes unlimited CV views and a set number of CV downloads. 

To find out more information and start the process, visit the CV Library website.

Once purchased, you will be provided with access credentials; please raise a support ticket via the help widget in your occy dashboard or via support@occy.com, and include the credentials along with a request for CV Library candidate search integration. This will then be handled by the team, and you will be notified once setup is complete.

Adding CVs to a Job

If you would like to search for candidates and add them to a specific job straight away, choose the job you would like to use from the Jobs section in the left-hand menu of your dashboard. 

Once you have clicked into the job, choose the Candidates tab, then Add Candidates and Add from CV Library from the dropdown menu.

Next, you will be presented with the following screen, which allows you to search for candidates using keywords and refine your search by criteria such as location, salary range, the last time the CV was updated, whether the candidate is willing to location and whether they hold a driving licence.

Once completed, hit Save, and a list of relevant candidates will appear for review. You will have the option to view a redacted CV or unlock the full CV by downloading it. 

Please Note: You are able to view an unlimited number of redacted CVS; however, downloads are limited to the number purchased in your access package.

Once you have downloaded a CV, it will appear in the candidate Candidates tab of the job.

Adding CVs to the Candidates Section

Occy also gives you the option to search for CVs via the Candidates section in the left-hand menu of your dashboard, which can be assigned to a job at a later time. 

To do this, choose Candidates from the left menu and select CV Library.

Click Search CV Library to begin your candidate search and follow the search process shown above.

As before, a list of CVs will appear with the option to view a redacted CV or download the full CV. 

If you choose to download the full CV, it will show in the Purchased tab of your CV Library; here, you can view the candidate or assign them to a job using the action buttons.
