Connecting JobAdder
The JobAdder integration installs a Choose and Process CV button on every candidate record and reads the CVs already attached there, so you format in place and the finished document goes straight back.
Connecting JobAdder installs a "Choose and Process CV" button on every candidate record. Clicking it opens RemakeCV with that candidate's attachments listed, so you pick which CV to format without downloading anything, and the finished document goes back onto the same record. It is a read-and-write integration, and the connection is per company — one person connects and everyone gets the button.

| Capability | What happens |
|---|---|
| A button on every candidate record | "Choose and Process CV", installed at authorisation |
| List the CVs already attached to a candidate | Yes, newest first |
| Format an attachment in place | Yes — no download to your desktop |
| Create and update candidates | Yes |
| Send the formatted CV back | Yes, as .docx under FormattedResume |
| Workflow shape | Read and write — pick from the candidate's attachments, format, send back |
| Connection scope | Per company |
What you need first
- JobAdder enabled for your company — our team switches it on, so email support@remakecv.com
- A JobAdder account that can authorise partner applications
- At least one template configured in RemakeCV
How to connect
Start from RemakeCV
Open the user menu on your dashboard and choose Connect JobAdder. The flow starts here, not inside JobAdder.
Authorise in JobAdder
You are sent to JobAdder's consent screen. Accept every permission requested — the integration asks for
read_candidate,write_candidate,offline_access,partner_ui_actionandread_user.partner_ui_actionis what installs the button, andoffline_accessis what keeps the connection alive. Grant the full set at authorisation so every part of the workflow is available from the start.Check the button appeared
Open any candidate in JobAdder. "Choose and Process CV" should be on the record. Worth confirming on one candidate before you roll out to the team.
Test end to end
Format one candidate and confirm the formatted CV lands back on the record before rolling out to the team.
Reconnecting is self-healing: the existing button is removed and recreated, so disconnecting and reconnecting refreshes the whole setup in one step.
The day-to-day workflow
Open the candidate in JobAdder
Find the candidate whose CV you need.
Click Choose and Process CV
RemakeCV opens with that candidate's attachments listed, newest first.
Pick the CV to format
Choose which attachment is the current CV — useful when a candidate has sent several versions.
Format and review
Choose a template, review the extraction, apply any AI tools.
Send it back
The original goes to the candidate's
Resumeattachments and the formatted document toFormattedResume, as a.docx.
Sandbox mode
Your company can be pointed at JobAdder's sandbox instead of production, which is useful while you are testing a rollout. Both environments use the same login screen, so tell us which one you want to be on and we will confirm which your account is connected to.
Troubleshooting
| Symptom | Likely cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Was working, now fails for everyone | Company-level token expired or refresh failed | Reconnect |
| Button missing on candidate records | The button is reinstalled on reconnect | Disconnect and reconnect |
| "Candidate with this email already exists" | JobAdder rejected a duplicate | Use the existing record |
| Validation error on candidate creation | First or last name missing | Supply both |
| Cannot attach the formatted CV | write_candidate not granted | Reconnect, accept all permissions |
| Data looks different from live JobAdder | Connected to sandbox rather than production | Contact support |
Driving it from your own system
If your team would rather own the connection, the public REST API gives you the same processing, retrieval and template endpoints our own integrations use — see connecting RemakeCV to any ATS or internal system.
Running another ATS or CRM as well?
RemakeCV integrates with any ATS or CRM your agency runs, not only the platforms already live. Our team builds new integrations on request using the API credentials your provider supplies, and they behave exactly like this one — same templates, same editor, same output. Email support@remakecv.com with the platform name, or see the integrations overview.
Frequently asked questions
- Where does the button appear?
- On the candidate record in JobAdder, labelled "Choose and Process CV". It is created automatically when the connection is made and removed again if you disconnect.
- Is the connection per user or per company?
- Per company. One authorisation serves everyone, so a new consultant has the button on their first day with nothing to set up.
- Can it read the CV already on the candidate record?
- Yes. JobAdder is a read-and-write integration: you choose from the candidate's existing attachments rather than uploading anything, and the formatted document goes back onto the same record.
