There are two options for adding multiple candidates at once
1) Attach resumes to an email to lead@hire.lever.co or applicant@hire.lever.co. For detailed instructions, go to Adding candidates via email. The limit is 15 resumes per email message.
2) Create a spreadsheet using this template, shoot us a message with your spreadsheet (saved in a CSV format), and we’ll help you with the import!
Please note: CSV files must meet the following format requirements:
- CSV files must be provided in a comma-delimited format. Semi-colon and other delimiters are not acceptable
- File names must be provided without spaces or special characters. Allowed characters are: a-z, 0-9, underscores (_) and dashes (-)
- Files must be limited to 55,000 rows
*IMPORTANT* The following columns must be filled out:
- Full name
- Lever Posting URL (if assigning the candidate to a posting)
- Stage
- Sources
- Origin (choose one from this fixed list: Applied, Sourced, Referred, University, Internal, Agency)
A couple of other items to note:
- Each new row will create a new candidate profile in Lever.
- Preserve all column headings.
- If you’d like resumes attached to the profiles, send a zip file with the PDF and Word files along with the spreadsheet.
- Separate multiple links with a comma followed by a space.
- Separate multiple email addresses with a comma, no space.
- Separate multiple tags with a comma, no space.
- Separate multiple sources with a comma, no space.
- Be sure to name things exactly. For example:
- “New Lead” for Stage, not “Lead”
- “JohnSmith_Resume.pdf” for Resume Filename, not “John Smith resume”
- Lever relies on email addresses to catch duplicate profiles. Make sure the Email column is accurate, so the CSV uploader can check against existing profiles.
- Not sure what the difference is between sources and origin? Check out this help article.
- Want to mark a note secret? In the "IsSecretNote" column, write “yes”. Keep it lowercase and don’t use spaces.
