Pitch N Hire + Google Drive Integration
Yes. Pitch N Hire works with Google Drive so hiring documents stay attached to the candidate they belong to, rather than scattered across shared folders. A portfolio, signed offer paperwork, an interview scorecard or a work sample sits on the record it describes, and a hiring manager can be handed the one file they need without being given the whole folder around it.
Documents are where hiring quietly leaks. A design portfolio lives in one folder, the offer paperwork in another, and the scorecards in whichever drive an interviewer happened to use that quarter. This page covers what Pitch N Hire attaches to a candidate, why storage is really an access question, and what to agree with your team before switching it on.
Which hiring documents belong on a candidate record?
Anything a future reader would need in order to understand the decision. Portfolios and work samples for design, writing and engineering roles. Signed offer paperwork. Interview scorecards and take-home submissions. Certificates where a role requires them. The test is simple: if somebody joining the search later would have to ask where a file is, it belongs on the record rather than in a folder whose name only made sense to whoever created it.
Why not just keep everything in a shared drive?
Because a drive is organised by folder and hiring is organised by person. The moment two people file the same candidate differently, retrieval becomes a search rather than a lookup, and the version somebody opens is whichever one they found first. Attaching the file to the candidate removes that ambiguity: there is one place it can be, and it is the place anybody would look. Folders remain useful for storage; they make a poor index.
How do you give a hiring manager a document without giving them the folder?
By sharing the record, not the storage. A folder is a blunt instrument, because access to it is access to everything filed alongside — other candidates for other roles, and anybody's salary paperwork. When a file hangs off a candidate profile instead, who can open it follows the roles your administrator has already set in Pitch N Hire, so a manager reviewing one shortlist sees that shortlist. That is the practical argument for attaching rather than sharing.
What should a team agree before connecting Drive?
Three things, and none of them is technical. Where the authoritative copy of a document lives once it is attached, so nobody edits an orphaned duplicate. How long you keep candidate paperwork, which is a data-protection question for your legal or people team rather than for recruiting. And who is allowed to attach files at all. Settle those and the connection is administrative; skip them and you have moved the mess rather than fixed it.
Does this cover reading what is inside a resume?
No, and the two are worth keeping apart. Turning a resume into a structured candidate profile is handled by Pitch N Hire's resume intake and parsing, which is a separate capability documented on its own page. Drive is about the file as an object — keeping the original document, the portfolio and the paperwork retrievable next to the person they describe. One reads a document and extracts fields from it; the other stores it and serves it back.
How to set it up
- 1 Agree internally who may attach candidate documents, and where the authoritative copy of each one should live.
- 2 In Pitch N Hire, open Settings and go to the Integrations section.
- 3 Choose Google Drive and authorise it with the Google account that should own the connection.
- 4 Attach a document to a test candidate, then check that a colleague on a different role sees exactly what you expect them to see.
