Enrich Candidate Records from Notes

In this article, you’ll learn how to use Amplify Enriching to automatically update candidate fields based on the text of your notes.

This feature saves time by reducing manual updates and helps maintain data integrity by ensuring fields stay up to date whenever new information is added through a note. It’s especially useful for intake notes or call summaries where you record details such as desired salary, employment type, or start date.

How it Works

When you add a note to a candidate record, Amplify analyzes the text and suggests updates to relevant fields. You can:

  • Review the suggested updates.

  • Edit any values as needed.

  • Choose which updates to apply.

Once you save the note, those fields on the candidate record are automatically updated with the selected values.

Available fields

Admin users can choose up to 20 fields for Amplify to analyze when suggesting updates, including custom fields. Amplify will use only the fields you configure, ensuring suggestions are aligned with the data your organization captures. See Configuring Field Selection below for setup steps.

Amplify’s suggestions are based on the context of your note. You can choose which updates to apply and overwrite suggested values with your own text, so you always have full control.

Enabling Candidate Notes Enrichment

Candidate Notes Enrichment is turned off by default. An Admin user can enable it in Amplify Admin.

To enable the feature:

  1. Go to Menu > Admin > Amplify Admin.

  2. Open the Settings tab.

  3. Toggle Enable Candidate Note Enrichment to the On position.

This setting applies to all users in your Bullhorn corporation. It can’t be enabled or restricted for specific users or departments.

Add Field

To add a new field:

  2. Search for and select the desired field from the dropdown. The field will appear at the bottom of the list.

  3. Then complete the following:

    • Description: Provide guidance on what type of information belongs in this field and what phrases Amplify should look for in notes. Be as specific as possible, and include formatting instructions if needed. You may also include directives such as “If unsure, do not guess.”

    • Examples: Enter examples of correctly formatted values to help Amplify recognize appropriate data and apply consistent formatting.

Remove Field

To remove a field, click the trash can () icon. A confirmation dialog will appear before the field is removed from the list.

Edit Field

To adjust a configured field, click into the Description or Examples column and update the text as needed.
