# Presenting candidates

> Send a candidate to your client contacts for a role, with their CV or a generated report attached.

**Presenting** a candidate emails them to your client contacts, usually hiring
managers, for a specific role. You can present a candidate who has applied to a job, or
make a **speculative presentation** when there is no active role yet.

## Present a candidate

1. Open the candidate, or their application, and click **Present** in the top right.
2. A **Send email** opens, set up for presenting the candidate. The subject is filled
   in for you, for example "Presenting Steven Brower for Account executive".
3. Add the client **recipients** and write your message.

## Attach a CV or report

In the panel on the right, under **Browse attachments for** the job and candidate, you
can attach:

* the candidate's original **CV**,
* a **Reformatted CV**: a Spott-generated, formatted version of the CV, available per
  language (for example EN-GB or FR),
* a **candidate report**: click **Generate candidate report** to create one.

## Additional actions

While presenting, you can also do either of the following in the same step:

* **Create Application**: add the candidate to the job's pipeline as you present them.
* **Create Speculative Presentation**: log the presentation when there is no active
  role for the candidate.

## Present to several contacts at once

Turn on **Send bulk email** to present the candidate to multiple client contacts in one
action. You can also bulk-present several candidates at once from the Candidate table or
from a job pipeline.
