At this stage, you will be presented with a screen displaying the headers and corresponding values from one of the records within the sheet.

If everything looks correct, you can proceed to the next step, which involves mapping the headers to the appropriate fields within the Recruiterflow system. To initiate the mapping process, simply click the button located at the bottom of the screen. 

5. The mapping step allows you to associate the headers from your sheet with the corresponding fields in Recruiterflow. This includes both system fields (such as name, email, and phone number) and custom fields that you may have created. By mapping these fields, you ensure that the relevant information is correctly aligned and imported into the system.

6. Once you have completed the mapping process, you can optionally proceed to the next step, which allows you to assign a job to the batch of candidates you have just uploaded, making it easier to locate and manage them within the Recruiterflow system. There is also an option to add tags to the profiles imported by this upload. You can then click on Start bulk upload to begin the upload.
