Profile Information

💡 If you want your resume information to be automatically added to your Simplify profile, upload your resume from the initial onboarding page or the Documents page.

Note: This parse is currently append only, so it will add to your profile information rather than replace it.

Automatically Parse Resume Information to Profile

💡 Recruiters generally prefer concise descriptions, and many online job portals have character limits. To ensure accurate autofilling of your information, we’ve set a 5,000 character limit (about 800 words) for job descriptions.

Word Limit on Job Descriptions

💡 In order to accurately autofill your school and major, we use a list of schools and majors shared by major job application providers. If you can’t find your major or university within our lists, follow the steps below to add your school or major to your profile.
