Export candidates to CSV

What it is

You can export a form's candidates as a CSV spreadsheet to use elsewhere (a sheet, another tool, sharing with a hiring manager).

Two ways to export

Toolbar "Export CSV" - the ··· menu in the toolbar has an Export CSV option, but it currently has a known bug: the "Exporting {N} candidates" count and the downloaded file always include every candidate on the form, ignoring the active stage tab and any filters/search. Don't recommend this for exporting a filtered view (e.g. just Shortlisted) until it's fixed - use select-all + bulk export instead.

Select all + bulk export - the reliable way to export a stage tab / filtered view:

1. Open the form's Responses page and set the stage tab / filters/search you want.
2. Tick Select all (the header checkbox) to select every candidate currently matching that view.
3. In the bulk-actions bar, open ··· → Export (see Bulk actions on candidates).

Selected only - untick anyone you don't want (or tick individual rows instead of Select all), then use the same bulk-actions ··· → Export.

What's in the file

• A row per candidate, with columns for Stage, Name, Email, and each of the form's question answers.
• File-upload answers (like résumés) appear as links to the file, not the file itself.
• Multi-select answers are comma-separated; rich text is exported as plain text.

Notes & limits

• Select all + bulk export reflects the current view - the selected stage plus any search/filters you've applied. The toolbar Export CSV does not (known bug - see above).
• The CSV contains links to uploaded files; it doesn't bundle the actual files. To get the files, open candidates and download them (see View and download résumés and files).
• Anyone with access to the form can export its candidates.
