How to import thousands of CVs into your recruitment CRM
Drop a folder or a zip of CVs into Recruitly. Up to 20 at a time go in right away, a whole database comes in within 24 hours at half a cent a CV, and Simi turns each one into a candidate.
Old CVs on a shared drive, a folder from a merged desk, the export from your last CRM: every CV sitting outside your database is a candidate nobody can search. In Recruitly you drop them all in one place and Simi reads each one, builds the candidate and skips anyone you already have. Recruitly picks the way in from how many you drop at once.

Open the CV import
- Press slash on any screen and type bulk CV.
- Choose Bulk CV Parse. Import CVs opens with one drop area and the two ways in under it.
Import up to 20 CVs at a time
- Drop the CV files, a folder or a zip. Twelve CVs from this morning's advert show as 12 CVs found, imported right now.
- Check the settings. Anyone already in your database is skipped, or you can update their record with the new CV.
- Press Import. Each CV becomes a candidate while you wait, and you can drop the next twenty straight away.
Import a whole database of CVs
- Drop the folder or a zip. If it's a folder, Recruitly zips it for you.
- Recruitly counts the CVs and shows the exact price first: half a cent a CV, so 4,000 CVs comes to $20.00.
- Press Start. It is paid from your credits then, and nothing is charged before.
- Simi reads every CV and builds each candidate. The first ones come in early, and all of them within 24 hours.
How much does it cost to import CVs in Recruitly?
Up to 20 CVs at a time are included in your plan, as often as you like. More than 20 in one go cost $0.005 per CV from your credits, shown before you start, and any CV that can't be read is refunded. See pricing for plans and credits.
How do I know what happened to each CV?
When Simi finishes, she tells you in the app and by email. Each CV lists every file with what happened to it: added, already in your database, or not read, with the candidate it became. Not read files are refunded and you can download the list to check them. Every import stays in Your CV imports with what it added and what it cost. More on keeping CVs in order in CV management.
