## Uploading candidates

Before uploading candidates, each bulk upload applies to a single job, so all candidates in your CSV will be added to the same position.

### Step 1: Select your job

Choose a job from the dropdown options of available jobs.

### Step 2: Upload your CSV file

Before uploading a CSV file, make sure the file has the following column headers in row 1:

#### Required headers

- First Name
- Last Name
- Email

#### Optional headers

- Stage (interview stage)
- LinkedIn URL

Need help formatting your CSV? Click **Download Sample CSV** to get a template with the correct headers.

Click **Upload CSV file** to select your prepared file from your computer.

### Step 3: Review and confirm

After uploading, you'll see a preview showing:

- All candidates being added
- Which fields are completed for each candidate (Name, Email, Stage, LinkedIn)

Review the candidate list carefully. If everything looks correct, click **Upload Candidates** to complete the process.
