You can add multiple candidates to the talent pool or directly to a job opening by using a template:

Adding multiple candidates

  1. Download this template

  2. Fill in the fields. Notice that the first two columns (First name, Last name) are mandatory

  3. Separate multiple tags by comma. Only use letters, numbers and/or spaces in your tags (no special characters or symbols)

  4. Do not add, change, rearrange or delete any columns

  5. Use up to 50 rows (candidates) per upload

  6. Save the template as .xls or .xlsx file

  7. Click Add candidate either in your Candidates page or in a job opening

  8. Then, click Add in bulk

  9. Click Upload template (.xls or .xlsx)

The candidates have been added.

Did you receive the error: “The template contains no valid entries”?
Make sure:

  • There is at least 1 entry in your template

  • You didn't use special characters or symbols in the tags

  • You didn't change or delete columns in the template

  • The file extension is .xls or .xlsx

  • There aren't any missing mandatory fields (First name, Last name)

  • Please notice that you can use up to 50 rows in the template

Looking for an easy way to add people from various social media?
You (and your team) can install Homerun's Talent Clipper: a browser extension for Chrome and Firefox that enables you to add talent directly from LinkedIn, GitHub, Behance and Dribbble without having to pull up your Homerun account.
