Speculative CVs
Speculative CVs are CVs that are submitted to a hiring manager, without necessarily having a specific job in mind. They are used to build a relationship with a hiring manager and to get a candidate on their radar, which can be useful in converting job leads into actual jobs. The record of these submissions is stored in the seven20__Speculative_CV__c object.
Speculative CVs can be sent both singly and en masse from a number of different places across the application, and depending on the wording of the action, these can have subtly different work flows:
- Submit Speculative CV - sent from the context of a hiring manager, or multiple hiring managers, to provide them details about candidates
- Submit CV Speculatively - sent from the context of a specific candidate, e.g. from the Contact record, to send them to a hiring manager
When sending Speculative CVs en masse, whether from the context of the hiring manager or candidate, and regardless of the screen or component used, one Speculative CV record will be created per combination of hiring manager and candidate.

Speculative CV Related Lists
There are two separate Speculative CV related list components that can be added to the page layout for Contacts, depending on the context:
- Speculative CVs - lists records where the current Contact is the Candidate on the Speculative CV
- Speculative CVs (Hiring Manager) - lists records where the current Contact is the Hiring Manager on the Speculative CV
As such, it is important to consider this context when constructing Contact page layouts.
Speculative CV Email Templates
Email templates can be used when sending Speculative CVs and can be configured separately for individual and mass submission - see Email Template Folders for more information.
