Choose exactly what people tell you when they sign up and in their profile. In this guide, you'll set your profile preferences, turn on CV parsing, add your own fields and show profile answers next to each submission.
To get started, click the gear icon, then Users, and open the Custom Fields tab. Custom Fields apply to participants, hosts and evaluators.
Profile & registration preferences
Force participants to complete their profile: people fill in all required profile fields before they can use the platform.
Fill empty profile fields using submitted form answers: when someone submits an application, their answers to linked form questions update their profile. You link the questions to profile fields in the round's submission form builder.
Complete profile notice: shows a banner reminding people to finish their profile.
Show new users in community and Allow participants community visibility control: choose who appears in the community listing.
Default community list sorting: choose how the community list is ordered.
Make profile image required.
CV parsing
Use AI-powered CV parsing: reads CVs in any layout and answers screening questions from the CV content. First connect your AI provider in Platform Settings → Integrations → AI Integration. See Connecting Your AI Provider (AI Integration).
Show CV field on signup: asks for a CV on the signup form. When it's off, participants can still upload a CV in their profile.
Add or edit a field
Click + New Field, or open an existing field's ⋮ Actions menu and click Edit.
Choose the Field Type, for example single-line text, paragraph, number, URL, country, phone number, file upload or a repeating list.
Choose the User Type: Participant, Host or Evaluator.
Save the field.
Where each field is used is set right in the Custom Fields table. Each row has on/off switches for Required Field, Signup Field, Submissions Field and Community Field, plus Use as a community filter and Show answer on profile card. The switches save as soon as you click them.
Show signup or profile answers in the Submissions table
Want to see each applicant's country, phone number or any other profile answer next to their submission? Turn the field into a Submissions Field:
Click the gear icon → Users → Custom Fields tab.
Find the field in the Custom Fields table (use Search by keyword if you have many).
Turn on its Submissions Field switch. It saves straight away.
Open your program, click the round and go to the Submissions tab. You'll see a new column named after the field (for example Country) with each participant's answer. Empty answers show as "-".
To hide, show or freeze that column, click the gear icon at the right of the Submissions toolbar. In Customize Table View, find the column under Available Columns, set Visible or Freeze, and click Save.
Turn the Submissions Field switch off at any time to remove the column again. The participants' answers stay in their profiles.
Good to know
Use Manage Sections to group your fields.
Default fields include Phone Number, Biography, Country, Title, Years of Experience, LinkedIn Profile, CV, Business Profile(s) and Job Experience.
Profile fields appear as columns in your round's Participants table, so you can filter, message and export by them. To also see them in the Submissions table, turn on Submissions Field (see above).
