Spreadsheet migration workflow

Move from spreadsheet rows to recruiting workflow

Use ATZ CRM import planning to turn candidate lists, client sheets, notes, tags, and manual follow-ups into searchable records and next actions.

01

Assess the spreadsheet files

Review Excel, CSV, or Google Sheets structure, row counts, columns, tabs, CV links, notes, and ownership fields.

02

Decide what should become records

Separate candidates, companies, contacts, jobs, notes, tags, and follow-ups from stale rows and columns that should be cleaned.

03

Map columns to ATZ CRM fields

Translate spreadsheet columns into ATZ CRM candidate, client, contact, job, note, source, owner, and tag fields.

04

Review a sample import

Check sample candidates, client contacts, notes, owners, tags, required fields, and duplicate rules before full import.

05

Plan the final move

Plan final file cleanup, capture new spreadsheet updates, and confirm what changed between sample import and go-live.

06

Validate the new CRM workspace

Have recruiters inspect imported records, search, tags, owners, follow-ups, and first pipeline views before daily use.

Turn static rows into recruiter action

A spreadsheet migration should activate data, not just upload columns

Candidate and client rows become useful when recruiters can search them, assign owners, create follow-ups, add notes, track jobs, and report from one workspace.

Current pressure

Spreadsheets hide recruiting value

Candidate lists, client contacts, source notes, and follow-up columns often contain usable business value that is hard to search or share.

Turn useful rows into active recruitment records.

Desk risk

Messy columns create messy imports

Duplicates, inconsistent headers, missing owners, mixed notes, stale statuses, and scattered tabs can make a new CRM feel unreliable.

Clean and sample the files before final import.

ATZ CRM is a strong fit when you need

  • You are moving candidate or client data from spreadsheets into ATZ CRM.
  • Your team uses Excel, CSV, Google Sheets, or manual trackers for recruiting work.
  • You need candidate and client records to become searchable and assignable.
  • You want duplicate and column cleanup before import.
  • You want to build first workflows for follow-ups, jobs, tags, and pipeline views after import.

You may also need specialist tools for

  • Migration scope depends on the source ATS export, record condition, attachments, field structure, and approved mapping.
  • Specialist payroll, tax, accounting, background-check, coding-assessment, VMS, onboarding, and statutory compliance tools may still be needed outside ATZ CRM.
  • Recruiters and agency leaders remain responsible for validating records, communication permissions, hiring decisions, and final use of migrated data.
  • Every custom field, attachment, message, integration, or historic activity may not always move exactly as it appears in the old system.

ATZ CRM supports ATS + CRM migration planning, import, validation, and recruiting workflow setup. Your team remains responsible for data review, privacy decisions, legal guidance, communication permissions, and final approval before the new workspace becomes the system of record.

FAQ

Spreadsheet to Recruitment CRM FAQs

Can ATZ CRM import candidate spreadsheets?

ATZ CRM supports structured import planning for candidate and client data from files such as Excel or CSV. Scope depends on file quality, columns, required fields, duplicate rules, and approved mapping.

What spreadsheet columns should we prepare?

Prepare candidate names, contact details, skills, sources, notes, owners, tags, CV links, client companies, hiring contacts, roles, and follow-up columns where available.

Should we clean spreadsheets before import?

Yes. Standardize headers, remove duplicates, separate mixed notes, confirm required fields, review stale rows, and decide owner and tag rules before final import.

Can client contacts and companies import from Excel?

They can be reviewed for structured import when the files contain usable company, contact, email, phone, owner, note, and relationship fields.

When do spreadsheets need managed migration instead of self-import?

Focused clean files may fit self-import. Multiple messy files, attachments, mixed tabs, unclear relationships, or large record sets usually need a more guided migration plan.
