The recruitkar.com Candidate Finder is a Chrome extension that lets recruiters import candidates from supported job-board tabs directly into their Recruitkar hiring pipeline. This page covers installing, signing in, importing, and troubleshooting.
Section 01
Section 02
If you don’t have a Recruitkar account yet, click Sign up on recruitkar.com on the welcome screen — you’ll be taken to the public sign-up page.
Section 03
The extension activates on supported job-board recruiter pages where you are already logged in. To import:
The extension fetches each candidate’s profile (skills, education, experience, contact if available) one at a time and adds them to the selected Recruitkar job. AI scoring runs in the background and shows up in your Recruitkar dashboard within seconds.
Section 04
Each imported candidate lands in the Screening stage of the destination job, with:
Section 05
Some job boards mask contact details on free-plan accounts. The extension records what’s available, and when a LinkedIn URL is in the candidate’s resume, the Move to Contact action in your Recruitkar dashboard can look up the contact via Recruitkar’s enrichment service.
No. Importing candidates from a job board is free. Charges only apply when you trigger AI scoring (already included with most plans) or run contact enrichment via Move-to-Contact (subject to your plan).
No. The extension and Recruitkar’s backend both deduplicate by email and by name-plus-current-company within the same job. Re-clicking Import on a previously-imported candidate is a no-op.
After a successful import, the extension reloads the source tab so the checkboxes you ticked are cleared automatically. This is by design — it prevents accidental re-imports of the same candidates.
If the job board returns a 401 or 403 (session expired), the extension halts and shows a “session expired” message. Reload the job-board tab to refresh your session cookie, then try the import again.
Section 06
| Symptom | What to try |
|---|---|
| Popup says “No job in view” | Open a job-board applies page in the active Chrome tab, then re-open the popup. |
| “Reload the job’s applies page once” | The extension needs to capture the page’s request signature once before importing. Reload the applies page in your tab. |
| Import button is disabled with “Tick candidates on the job applies page” | The extension only imports candidates you’ve explicitly ticked on the source page. Tick at least one row. |
| “Session expired” mid-run | Reload the job-board tab and retry the import. |
| Some imports fail | The popup shows the failure reason for the last one. Common cause: a temporary network blip. Retrying usually works. |
Section 07
See our Privacy Policy — Candidate Finder section for full details on what data the extension reads, where it’s sent, and how long it’s kept.
Short version: the extension only reads candidates you tick on a job-board tab you’re already logged into, and sends them only to your own recruitkar.com account. Nothing else.
