As a bid professional, you need your colleagues to consistently update their resumes (CVs) with their latest achievements. Without this, it's impossible to source the right candidates and showcase their expertise accurately. However, achieving ongoing updates is easier said than done. Not only is it an uphill battle to get your busy consultants and contractors to take the time to update their resumes, but getting them to do so in a high-quality manner is even trickier. Balancing giving your consultants the autonomy to update their resumes, while ensuring consistent and compelling content is a challenge many firms contend with.
Flowcase's self-serve platform is tailor-made to solve this. With an intuitive system that enables your staff to independently update their skills, experiences, and credentials, paired with guardrails to ensure new content is consistent with your organization's standards, the system is built for seamless updates. Let’s dive into the features that enable this.
An intuitive, frictionless updating experience
First and foremost, Flowcase offers a user-friendly interface that streamlines profile updates. Instead of struggling through the formatting challenges of Word documents or PDFs, employees can simply enter new project experiences, skills, certifications, and other accomplishments by completing intuitive form fields. Additionally, the UI guides users through required sections with help text and tooltip prompts. These tips can be fully customized by platform admins, ensuring that inputs align with their firm's expectations.
Since your staff don’t need to worry about reformatting documents, refreshing profiles takes a fraction of the time. This makes ongoing updates much more likely.
Data governance through controlled terminology
Flowcase doesn't just make updating resumes easier. it ensures consistency in how the information is captured too. Our Masterdata tool allows admins to control the specific skills, job titles, certifications, and other terminology your staff can select from.This means that rather than guessing the correct terms or phrasing they should use, your staff are guided by text dropdowns or auto-completes. Not only does this ensure firm-wide consistency, it also eradicates typos, misspellings, or unapproved abbreviations.
As your organization's pre-approved terminology evolves over time, admins can easily update and expand the glossary of terms. Any updates are automatically pushed to your teams’ resumes that already use the term(s), resulting in easy bulk updates.

AI proofreading
Of course, your teams also need to enter longer-form content, such as for project experience overviews. In these instances, they can enter their achievements as normal and then use our proofreading tool to double-check their content. This AI-powered feature checks for typos and grammatical errors, and suggests fixes to enhance the content. This ensures even the busiest consultants can piece together error-free copy, enabling your firm to put its best foot forward without any unprofessional mishaps.
Enable team leads to verify
For firms that want a final layer of oversight, Flowcase allows users with the requisite permissions to check over their coworkers’ resumes. Admins can designate Country and/or Department managers who can gain edit access over just their teams’ content. These managers can double-check their own team's resumes for accuracy and tone, and make changes where necessary to ensure a high quality profile. These access rights are configured at a granular level to ensure only the people who need access have it.
In summary
By striking the balance between an intuitive self-service interface, alongside guided inputs, Flowcase empowers your teams to own and take pride in their achievements, while simultaneously giving bid teams and other stakeholders peace of mind that resumes are accurate and of high quality.
