The MangoApps Sourcing Extension is a Chrome browser extension (Manifest V3) that lets recruiters and hiring managers import candidate profiles from LinkedIn directly into the MangoApps ATS.

Key Features

🔍 LinkedIn Profile Parsing

Automatically extracts candidate data from any LinkedIn profile page without manual data entry.

Field	Source	Notes
Name	h1 heading	Split into first/last
Headline	Profile subheading	Parsed for title + company
Experience	Experience section	Title, company, duration (up to 10)
Education	Education section	School, degree, field (up to 5)
Skills	Skills section	Up to 20 skills
Photo	Profile picture	3-tier detection strategy for accurate extraction
Location	Top card	City, state, country
About	About section	Full bio text

Supported Pages:

• LinkedIn free profiles (linkedin.com/in/*)
• LinkedIn Recruiter (linkedin.com/talent/*) — URL paste fallback for Recruiter’s different DOM
• Gmail (mail.google.com/*) — extracts sender email for candidate lookup

💡 Pro Tip: The extension works best on free LinkedIn profiles where all sections are visible. For LinkedIn Recruiter, paste the candidate’s public URL into the side panel for full profile capture.

🤖 AI-Powered Features

Six AI capabilities powered by MangoApps’ LLM infrastructure — no separate AI product required.

Feature	What It Does	When to Use
AI Fit Score	Scores candidates 0-100 against the job with technical fit, experience, education, and cultural fit breakdowns	After importing — see if the candidate is worth pursuing
AI Profile Summary	2-sentence summary + “Strong/Potential/Weak Match” signal before import	While browsing — quickly decide whether to import
AI Job Suggestion	Recommends the best-fit open job with a fit score and reason	During import — auto-selects the right job
AI Outreach Draft	Generates a personalized cold email (subject + body)	After importing — copy and send via InMail
Ask AI Chat	Conversational recruiting assistant with candidate + job context	Anytime — “Is this person overqualified?”, “Draft interview questions”
Compensation Insight	Market salary range for the role and location	When selecting a job — inform your offer strategy

Use Case: A recruiter browses a LinkedIn profile → AI shows “Strong Match — 8yr PM with B2B SaaS at Stripe. 91% fit for Senior PM — Growth” → recruiter clicks “Select” on the suggested job → clicks Import → AI drafts an outreach email → recruiter copies and sends. Total time: 30 seconds.

---

📧 Email Enrichment

Find candidate email addresses directly from the extension.

Strategy	Confidence	Source
ZoomInfo Person Search	~90%	Structured B2B database
AI Pattern Inference	40-70%	LLM infers email from name + company domain patterns

Results show confidence percentage, source, and alternative email addresses. Found emails are automatically saved to the candidate’s profile if the current email is a placeholder.

---

📊 Candidate Management

Manage your pipeline directly from the side panel — no need to open the ATS.

Action	Description
Change Stage	Move candidates through pipeline: Applied → Screening → Qualified → Interviewing → Offered → Hired
Add Notes	View and edit recruiter notes from the extension
Archive	Reject with a reason (experience, skills, culture fit, comp, position filled, unresponsive)
Add to Job	Consider existing candidates for additional open roles
Add to Talent Pool	Multi-select talent pools during import

---

📧 Gmail Integration

See a candidate’s ATS profile the moment you open their email — no switching tabs.

Scenario	What Happens
Email from known candidate	Panel shows their full ATS profile: status, job, AI actions, notes, stage change
Email from unknown person	Panel shows sender email + name with “Add as Candidate” button (pre-fills email)
Inbox list view	Panel shows the home screen (URL paste, manual entry, recent imports)

The extension detects Gmail sender email using DOM selectors (span[email], [data-hovercard-id], .gD[email]) with multiple fallbacks. It then calls the existing check_duplicate API with the sender’s email to find matching candidates.

Supported Actions in Gmail:

• View candidate status and pipeline stage
• Change stage, add notes, archive
• AI Fit Score, Draft Outreach, Find Email
• Upload Resume
• Ask AI chat with candidate context

💡 Pro Tip: When you receive a response from a sourced candidate, open their email and use the Ask AI chat to draft a follow-up — AI will have context about the candidate’s background and your open roles.

---

📄 Resume Upload

Upload a candidate’s resume (PDF or DOCX) directly from the extension. The file is stored via ActiveStorage and the text is automatically extracted for AI screening.

Supported Format	Max Size	Extraction Method
PDF	10 MB	pdf-reader gem (local, no API calls)
DOCX	10 MB	docx gem (local, no API calls)
DOC (legacy Word)	10 MB	OpenAI Files API fallback

How it works:

1. Click “Upload Resume” on any candidate (after import or on existing candidate)
2. Select a PDF or DOCX file from your computer
3. File is uploaded to MangoApps and attached to the candidate’s profile
4. Text is extracted and stored in resume_data JSONB for future AI screening
5. The extracted text improves AI Fit Score accuracy on subsequent screenings

Use Case: After the LinkedIn “Save to PDF” feature downloads a candidate’s resume, upload it directly from the extension. The AI screening service will use the full resume text instead of just the parsed LinkedIn profile, giving you more accurate fit scores.

---

📋 Bulk Operations

Feature	Description	Limit
CSV Import	Upload LinkedIn Recruiter CSV exports — drag and drop	50 candidates per import
Manual Entry	Add candidates from referrals, events, or other sources without a LinkedIn URL	—

---

🏠 Smart Home Screen

Email + Password	Enter credentials once, auto-refreshes for 30 days	When cookies are cleared
API Token	Generate token with read:recruiting + write:recruiting scopes	Service accounts, headless use

The extension supports multiple MangoApps workspaces — if you’re logged into more than one, it shows a workspace picker.

---

📈 Source Attribution

Every candidate imported via the extension is automatically tracked:

Field	Value
Source	chrome_extension

Best Practices

• ✅ Use AI signals to prioritize — Focus on “Strong Match” candidates first, skip “Weak Match” to save time
• ✅ Draft outreach immediately — AI outreach performs best when sent while the profile context is fresh
• ✅ Enroll in sequences — Don’t just import — enroll passive candidates in a nurture campaign
• ✅ Add notes during sourcing — Record why you imported the candidate (what caught your eye)
• ✅ Use the searchable job dropdown — Type to filter when you have many open roles
• ✅ Check opportunity alerts daily — The home screen shows candidates needing follow-up

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Do I need an API token to use the extension?
A: No. The extension auto-detects your active MangoApps browser session. If you’re logged into MangoApps in any tab, the extension connects automatically. API tokens are only needed for service accounts or headless integrations.

Q: What browsers are supported?
A: Any Chromium-based browser: Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Arc, Brave, Opera, and Vivaldi. Firefox and Safari are not supported.

Q: Does it work with LinkedIn Recruiter?
A: Yes. On LinkedIn Recruiter pages, paste the candidate’s public LinkedIn URL into the side panel for full profile capture. Bulk CSV import from LinkedIn Recruiter’s export feature is also supported (up to 50 candidates per import).

Q: How accurate is the email enrichment?
A: It depends on the provider. ZoomInfo contact search returns approximately 90% confidence results. The AI inference fallback returns 40-70% confidence estimates based on name + company domain patterns. Confidence percentages are displayed so you know the reliability.

Q: Can I use the extension with multiple MangoApps workspaces?
A: Yes. If you’re logged into multiple MangoApps businesses in your browser, the extension shows a workspace picker when you first connect. You can disconnect and reconnect to switch workspaces.

Q: How does the Gmail integration work?
A: When you open an email in Gmail, the extension reads the sender’s email address from the page and looks it up in your ATS. If the sender is a known candidate, you’ll see their full profile with status, notes, and AI actions. If they’re not in your ATS, you can add them as a candidate with one click — their email is pre-filled automatically.

Q: What resume formats are supported?
A: PDF and DOCX files up to 10 MB. Text is extracted automatically using local parsing (no external API calls for standard PDFs and DOCX files). The extracted text improves AI Fit Score accuracy when you screen the candidate later. Legacy .doc files are supported via a cloud-based fallback parser.
