# Edit candidate's name

When the candidate is sourced via [Resume upload](/manage-candidates/add-candidates-to-a-job/upload-resumes.md) or [Job mailbox](/manage-candidates/add-candidates-to-a-job/job-mailbox.md) the candidate's name may not be parsed accurately from the resume or even not parsed at all.

In this case you can manually set the candidate's name by clicking on the respective button at the top of the [candidate view](/manage-candidates/candidate-view.md), as shown below:
