Create a CV template in Simployer Classic

Create and configure CV templates that control the content and order of information in generated employee CVs.

The Administrate CV feature lets you create one or more CV templates for generating employee CVs. A CV template determines which information appears in the generated CV and the order in which the information appears.

Go to Competence → Administrate CV to open the feature.

Create a new CV template in Administrate CV

A standard CV template is included and available by default.

To create a new CV template:

1. Click Add new CV
2. Enter a name for the template
3. The CV template is ready to configure

You can create multiple CV templates if your organization needs different layouts or content for different purposes.

Add content to a CV template in Administrate CV

Under CV elements, you can add the following elements to the CV template:

• Title
• Competence
• Competence Category
• Personal Information
• Position History
• Logo and Image

Click an element to add it to the CV template. The order of the elements determines how the information appears in the generated CV.

Tip

Use the drag-and-drop handle, shown as six dots to the left of each row, to reorder the elements. The generated CV uses the same order as the CV template.

Add competence categories to a CV template in Administrate CV

The most common way to display competence is to use Competence Category. A competence category displays all competences registered in the selected category.

To display multiple competence categories in the same CV, add one Competence Category element for each category you want to include, such as Courses, Certificates, Languages, and Key Competence. Each category appears as a separate section in the generated CV.

Use the drop-down lists to configure the content of each element. For Competence Category, select the category you want to display.

Set availability and the default CV template in Administrate CV

The Available for employee checkbox determines which CV templates employees can use and which template is used by default:

• If only the Standard template is selected, the Standard template is used automatically when an employee generates a CV
• If the Standard template and one or more custom templates are selected, the employee can choose which template to use when generating a CV
• If only one custom template is selected, that template is used automatically when employees generate a CV

Note

You can create multiple CV templates, but employees can only use templates marked Available for employee when generating their own CV.

Preview a CV template in Administrate CV

Click Preview CV at any time to see how the generated CV will look before the template is used.

Tip

Select only the relevant competence categories. A short, focused CV is often clearer and easier to read than a CV containing every registered competence.
