What does blue highlighted text mean in Allsorter?

If text is highlighted, it has not been brought over to the reformatted version of the CV by Allsorter. This happens for several reasons which we explain below!

Padding around skills, skill descriptions

Allsorter automatically mines the candidate’s CV for skills relevant to your template. We will bring these skill words to the reformatted version, however, the padding around them will not be used.

For example, if the candidate states “Excellent working knowledge of Microsoft Office”, Allsorter will automatically add “Microsoft Office” to the skills section of the CV.

Similarly, if the candidate’s CV features skills that you do not wish to be included in the reformatted CV, per your template, they will also be highlighted.

Of course, you can edit any section on the reformatted CV and add the extra descriptors around a skill should you wish to include them. As soon as the information is added to the reformatted version, it will no longer be highlighted on the original CV.

Extraneous Information

Information not related to the sections chosen to appear on your template will not be brought over automatically. For example, if the candidate features an “Achievements” or “Sports” section on their CV; as these sections do not apply to work experience, education, or skills (all mined automatically) they will not be included in the reformatted version.

However, if you would like to include additional information of this type, your template can be amended to feature these extra sections. In this case, you will need to copy and paste from the original CV on the left to the extra section on the right. Once pasted, the relevant information will no longer be highlighted.

Broken Text

If there are any typos or broken text in the body of the original CV, the system will not read these and they will be highlighted for you. As usual, you can always re-type this piece of text and it will no longer be highlighted.
