How to Perform a Candidate Bulk Import
Performing a Candidate Bulk Import will enable you to import up to 2000 candidates into your Admin Portal. Do not use the import tool to edit existing data in the Portal, your import will only add new records.
3. Select "Candidate" import from the drop down menu
4. Click on Download Template, to download the Candidate Import Template
5. Complete the import template using the pre-filled headers, do not add any additional headers.
6. Use the Import Specifications page to find the valid values for each field type.
7. Be sure to save your template as Candidate_FileName.
The "Candidate_ " prefix followed by your selected file name is used for import Validation.
Save your file as a CSV, no other import file types are currently supported.
Max file size for your Candidate Import is 4MB.
If you use any Unicode Characters in your template- save your file as a CSV-UTF-8.
If you are importing an International Phone Number, use a standard text editor *notepad* or if using excel, be sure to format the phone number column as text only.
8. Upload your CSV file by selecting the Green Arrow, or drag and drop your file.
Your file will automatically validate.
Review any Validation or Processing Errors prior to starting your import by downloading Validation Results.
Click on "Start Import" to begin the import.
Your import will not begin until you select the Start Import option.
9. View your "Import History" to find the status of your import, any errors that occurred, and to download your import report.
