Export candidate data to Excel

Export candidates from Advanced Search to an .xlsx file — useful for sharing longlists, doing analysis, or handing data off to other tools.

Written by Amritanshu Anand

Pull a list of candidates out of Recruiterflow as an Excel file. Useful when you need to share a longlist with a hiring manager, run analysis in a spreadsheet, or hand data off to another tool.

What this is

Advanced Search lets you filter candidates by any field — skills, location, source, stage, tags, and more — and then export the results as an .xlsx file. You choose which columns to include before the file is generated.

Export from Advanced Search

  1. Apply filters in the right-hand panel to narrow down to the candidates you want.

  2. Select the candidates to include — tick individual rows, or use the top checkbox to select everything in the result set.

  3. Click Export to Excel.

  4. Choose the fields to include in the export and confirm.


The .xlsx file downloads to your computer once it's ready.

Example

A recruiter is putting together a market map of senior data engineers in Berlin for a client pitch. She opens Advanced Search, filters by job title, location, and years of experience, selects all 200 matching candidates, and exports them with name, current company, LinkedIn URL, and skills as the included columns. The .xlsx is ready to drop into the pitch deck.

Things to know

  • Only fields you have access to are included. Custom fields hidden by your workspace admin won't appear in the export.

  • Large exports can take a minute or two to generate. Watch your browser's downloads bar - the file shows up there when it's ready.

  • The export respects your filter exactly. If you've filtered to 50 candidates, only those 50 are exported - even if your search has more matches further down the list.

  • To export jobs, companies, or contacts, use the export option on those respective pages instead of Advanced Search.

  • Exports include data only. Resumes, attachments, and notes don't come along - they live on each candidate profile in Recruiterflow.
