Mass Upload Candidates

In this Article:

You can mass upload candidates into your BrightMove through the Import Candidate XLS File option. This is a great way to get your existing candidate information into BrightMove.

Preparing the Template File

To use this method, you will first need to format your candidate information to match our standard import format. We have provided a CSV file with our standard format. To download this file inside BrightMove: 

1. Click on Candidates. 

2. Click on Import Candidate XLS File

3. Click on Get XLS Template File. 

Once you have the file, you can begin editing your data. For an explanation of the different fields please see Candidate XLS Template File. It is very important not to change any of the column widths or order on the Candidate Template XLS File or your information will not import into BrightMove correctly.

Please Note: There is a limit of 2000 rows per file. 

Uploading the File

After you have a completed Candidate XLS File to upload: 

1. Click on Candidates. 

2. Click on Import Candidate XLS File

3. Click Choose File and locate the file you just prepared. 

4. Determine if you want to add these candidates to an existing folder, a new folder, or no folder. See Folders for additional information. 

5. Click Upload. 

When your upload is complete you will receive an email with the errors and failed records along with the number of successful uploads and duplicates found. This will allow you to correct your errors, and resubmit the failed records.

Congratulations! You have successfully imported your candidates into BrightMove and profiles have been created for them.
