CV Watermark

Published:

Overview

The CV Watermark feature allows you to automatically or manually apply a branded watermark (such as your company logo) to candidate CVs.

This helps:

  • Protect candidate ownership

  • Maintain brand visibility

  • Prevent unauthorised sharing

  • Standardise CV presentation

No credits are required to use this feature.

How to Enable CV Watermark

Step 1: Go to System Configuration

  1. Navigate to the top-right corner of your system.

  2. Click on System Configuration.

  3. Locate the CV Watermark option (fourth row, last column).

Step 2: Enable the Watermark

  1. Toggle the button labeled Enable Watermark.

  2. Once enabled, the watermark configuration settings will become available.

Uploading Your Watermark

Step 3: Upload Your Logo

  • Only PNG format is supported.

  • Click Upload and select your logo file.

  • Ensure the image is clear and high resolution for best results.

Customising the Watermark

Once your logo is uploaded, you can configure how it appears on CVs.

Step 4: Select Watermark Position

Choose where the watermark should appear:

  • Center

  • Top Left

  • Top Right

  • Bottom Left

  • Bottom Right

Select the position that best fits your branding preference.


Dynamic Logo Positioning

The CV Watermark feature now supports Dynamic Logo Positioning for improved flexibility and better placement across different CV layouts.

How Dynamic Positioning Works

When Dynamic is selected:

  • The system automatically places the watermark in the most suitable position on the CV.
  • This helps avoid overlapping with important CV content such as text, headings, or images.

Fallback Position

You can also configure a Fallback Position.

If the system determines that there is not enough space to place the watermark in the dynamic position, it will automatically place the watermark in the fallback position you selected.

Example

Primary Position: Dynamic
Fallback Position: Bottom Right

If the system cannot place the watermark dynamically without affecting the CV layout, it will automatically move the logo to Bottom Right.

This ensures the watermark always appears cleanly and does not interfere with candidate information.


Step 5: Adjust Opacity and Scale (Size)

  • Increase opacity for a more visible watermark.

  • Decrease opacity for a subtle, background-style effect.

  • Increase scale to enlarge the logo.

  • Decrease scale to make it smaller.

This controls how transparent the watermark appears. And, Scale determines the overall size of the watermark on the CV.

Step 6: Choose Page Application

You can decide how the watermark is applied:

  • Apply to all pages

  • Apply only to the first page (default if all pages option is disabled)

Configuring Default Application Settings

You can define where the watermark should automatically apply.

Choose whether to apply the watermark to:

  • Original CV

  • Agency CV

  • CVs when passed individually

  • CVs when bulk passed

  • LinkedIn-generated CVs

  • CVs sent via email

These settings allow you to fully control default watermark behaviour.


Manually Applying a Watermark to Existing CVs

You can apply watermarks to previous or existing CVs at any time.

 From the Candidate Profile

  1. Go to the Candidate section.

  2. Open an individual candidate profile.

  3. If the CV does not already have a watermark, navigate to the candidate’s CV tab and click Apply Watermark.

  4. The watermark will be added instantly.

Important Notes

  • The watermark feature works on both new and historical CVs.

  • You can update watermark settings at any time.

  • Changes to configuration apply to future CV actions based on your selected defaults.

  • No additional credits or charges apply.
