The step by step instructions below are just as guidance and does not go through all options, see more information at the bottom of this topic for more in depth details.
NB: - Ensure the Infinity Outlook Connector is active within Outlook Add-ins, this will add the functionality required to upload CV's into Infinity (via iCapture)

iCapture is Infinity’s CV parser. These means that CV’s that are sent to iCapture will be read and you have the option to post to the database without having to manually add the candidate to Infinity,
It can be accessed through the quick access toolbar, My Infinity or the application menu.
iCapture is set to poll at a regular time period (typically every minute).
NOTE – You do not have to use Candidate iCapture. You are able to skip Candidate iCapture and post CV’s directly to Infinity (Automatic mode)
Allows you to access a log of when and how many entries have been deleted, if Auto Delete has been activated
See GDPR section for more details
See Candidate Privacy Audit section for more details
See Suppression Lists for more details
By default you should be able to send CV's into iCapture by right clicking on email messages within your Inbox (Outlook) and selecting Send to icapture, below are some addtional examples of what may also be available as methods of sending CV's into iCapture, please speak to you system administrator for more details:
- Drag and drop a CV into a folder (i.e. CV's to iCapture on desktop)
NB:- Not available for SaaS systems
- Forwarding an email to a specified mailbox
- Set up CV’s to be automatically sent to i-capture from Broadbean applications
- Process PDF’s from Linked-in or other web based resources via iResearch
- Downloading CV's into your OneDrive account
This mode will skip the check stage. You could use this mode to skip for all new CV’s and skip for existing CV’s, depending on the options chosen.
In order for a candidate to be added to Infinity as a new candidate (i.e. the database has not recognized any potential duplicates) they must match the criteria specified by your administrator in the iCapture settings. Please see separate Admin manual for iCapture settings.
If a candidate is identified as a possible duplicate, the candidate will be added to the iCapture screen for checking as described below. The settings for what is identified as a duplicate are specified by your administrator in your iCapture settings.
Move to CV Pool
The CV Pool is an area to where you are able to add candidates that you neither want to delete, or post to Infinity. The CV pool is an external ‘pot’ that you may want to post CV’s to. If a CV is in the CV pool, the candidate will not have a record created in Infinity, but you are able to search for their details. To move a CV into the pool, highlight the CV and click Move to CV Pool.
