Import a candidate spreadsheet, or upload a folder of CVs. For several sheets or another system's export, [import with Flo](/guides/how-to/import-with-flo). On **Candidates**, select **Import** › **Import CSV** (in **⋯** from 20 candidates), or drop the file on the page. The Candidates page header with Add from CV beside Add candidate Choose the header row, check the columns, select **Preview**, then **Import N candidates**. The steps match [importing contacts](/guides/how-to/import-contacts). The import preview: 2 new, each row with its result, and Import 2 contacts ## Upload a folder of CVs Select **Import** › **Upload CVs**, then **Choose files** or **Choose a folder**. Up to 200 PDF or Word files, or a zip. The Upload CVs dialog with Choose a folder and Choose files Hire matches people by email, phone or LinkedIn, never by name. Someone already in Hire gets the CV and only their empty fields filled. In a spreadsheet, a new person who may be someone you have is not added, and the row says who: the same name, a nickname, or the same address with a +tag ("looks like Le Thi Bich"). Add them by hand if they're someone else. A shared inbox such as careers@ or hr@ is refused as a person. ## If something looks wrong * **A CV says Couldn't read.** It's a scan, over 20 MB, not PDF or Word, or has no name. * **A Do not contact column.** Yes marks a new person **Do not contact**. People you have keep their own setting. * **Wrong import.** Select **Undo import** within 14 days. It keeps records someone worked on since.
