Data export

Requires Pro

With Pro, you can download the resumes of the people who applied to a job as a spreadsheet file. This is handy for sharing a shortlist with a hiring manager or keeping an offline record. Employers can do the same for their own jobs.

The export covers resumes of applicants. There is no export of jobs, companies or the applications list itself.

  1. Open WP Job Portal → Jobs.
  2. On the job, select Applied Resume.
  3. On the applicant, select Export.

The file downloads as export-resume.xls.

  1. Open WP Job Portal → Jobs.
  2. On the job, select Applied Resume.
  3. Select Export All at the top of the list.

The file downloads as export-resumes.xls, with every applicant to that job.

The file is an .xls spreadsheet holding the resume details, laid out by resume section and labelled with your resume field titles. It is encoded as UTF-8, so names in any language keep their characters.

If a resume has no data to export, for example because it was deleted, you get a “No resume data is available for export.” message instead of a file.

Employers see the same Export and Export All buttons on the applicants page of their own jobs in their dashboard. An employer can only export applicants of jobs they own. Administrators can export any job’s applicants.

With Recruit Suite, team members who can manage a job can export its applicants as well.

Export links carry a security token that expires. If you get “The resume export link has expired.”, go back to the applicants page, reload it, and select Export again.
