Overview
If you come across duplicate Gem profiles for the same candidate, you can merge them together so that the candidate's data is combined into a single profile.
Requirements
The top of the Gem sidebar will surface the option to resolve duplicates if all of the following criteria are met on their profiles:
-
The candidate's First Name and Last Name fields match (not case-sensitive)
-
The candidate is not in an active sequence on any profile
-
At least one of the following is true:
-
The Primary Email Address on one of the profiles also appears in the Emails list for the other profiles
-
The Company name matches on the profiles (not case-sensitive)
-
Merging Profiles
When these conditions are met, the following notification will appear at the top of the Gem sidebar while viewing any of the profiles:
Clicking Resolve will take you to a page where the profiles are listed. You can pick and choose which candidate data fields will be saved to the final merged profile. When you are finished, click Save.
Limitations
-
Merging profiles can only be performed one candidate at a time
-
Potential duplicate profiles are not surfaced as a list in Gem (you will need to come across a duplicate profile to see the option to resolve and merge them)
-
First Name, Last Name, Primary Email, and/or Company are the only fields that trigger the duplicate profile merging prompt
-
You cannot merge profiles if any of the candidate's profiles are in an active sequence
