Why are some applicant scores blurred out?

If some applicant scores are blurred out, that is because SquarePeg was unable to create an enriched resume and therefor unable to generate a score.

Most of the time, resumes are structured PDFs or word documents, which allow SquarePeg to extract resume text. However, sometimes applicant resumes are essentially a flattened image “pretending” to be a word document or PDF, which prevent SquarePeg from extracting data.

Can I upload a resume to score a candidate that hasn’t applied yet?

No, you cannot manually upload resumes or create candidates in SquarePeg that are not in your ATS. However, as a workaround, you could create a specific pipeline stage (e.g. “Prospects”) in your ATS and add candidates who have not yet applied. After syncing your ATS data to SquarePeg, those candidates would be scored.
