sounds like you want to store the candidate_id as a PropertyName for each resume 
document.

Example:

[karpet@cartermac:~/tmp/resume]$ cat c
PropertyNames candidate_id text
MetaNameAlias swishdefault text
IndexContents XML* .xml

[karpet@cartermac:~/tmp/resume]$ cat ex.xml
<resume>
   <candidate_id>someid</candidate_id>
   <text>
    all my glorious history and why you should hire me stuff here
   </text>
</resume>

[karpet@cartermac:~/tmp/resume]$ swish-e -w 'hire me' -x '"<candidate_id>" 
"<swishtitle>" "<text>"\n'
# SWISH format: 2.5.4
# Search words: hire me
# Removed stopwords:
# Number of hits: 1
# Search time: 0.005 seconds
# Run time: 0.033 seconds
"someid" "ex.xml" "all my glorious history and why you should hire me stuff here"
