Moving from Excel or another system
No need to move the base by hand. Upload files or connect the old system — candidates, vacancies and CVs show up in HR CRM.
Spreadsheets
Excel (.xlsx), CSV and TSV, including CSV in Windows-1251. Columns are recognised on their own; a form appears only when the name column isn't found.
CVs and archives
PDF, DOCX, RTF, TXT — each CV becomes a card with contacts from the text. A ZIP archive with spreadsheets and CV folders — up to 4 GB and 20,000 files.
Straight from another ATS
Huntflow, PeopleForce, HURMA, Workable, Lever, Greenhouse and Recruitee with an API key: candidates with the vacancy, stage, contacts, notes and CVs.
No duplicates
Running it again adds only what's new. Duplicates by email and phone are skipped.
How it works
Candidates or Employees → Import: drop one or several files. Moving by API — Settings → Integrations → «Move from another system». The import runs in the background with progress; you can close the window.
Cards are filled from CVs
After the import, CVs on the cards fill in empty fields: name, email, phone, Telegram, LinkedIn. Existing data is not overwritten.
The key is not stored
The old system's API key lives only while the move runs and is not stored in the CRM. CleverStaff has no export API — use a file import for it.
How much does the move cost?
Import and moving are part of the subscription, the trial included.
Are stages and dates kept?
Yes: vacancies are created, and stages and dates from the file or the old system are kept.
Can I export the base back?
Yes, candidates and employees export to Excel, and the head can download an archive of all company data.
What about .xls?
The old .xls format isn't supported — save the file as .xlsx or CSV.
