In addition to being able to perform individual candidate hiring stage updates, you can also perform bulk updates through Mekari New Talenta Recruitment. This way, tens to thousands of hiring stage updates can be done at once by utilizing the export-edit-import feature. 

Important
Make sure the candidates are already recorded in New Talenta Recruitment.

Here are the steps.

1. On the Candidate page, click “More” then click Bulk update candidates.
   

   You can also import candidate history logs in Excel format by clicking Import & export logs.

2. You will be directed to the following page. Click “Select candidates” to choose the names of candidates whose hiring stage you want to update.
   

3. Here, you can use filters based on Job position (required), Hiring stage (required), and Applied date (optional). Once the filters are set, click “Apply filter”.
   

4. You can also search for a specific candidate's name by typing it in the Search candidate field.
   

5. Check the names of candidates whose hiring stage you want to update. Then, click “Select candidates”.
   

   You can select up to a maximum of 2,000 (two thousand) candidates at once.

   Important
   At the Assessment stage, if you move candidates from different positions, for example Account Manager and Sales simultaneously, the system cannot include their assessment data because they come from different job openings. Therefore, make sure to filter first so that the selected candidates come from the same position to ensure their scores remain synchronized as in the following example.
   

6. You will be directed to this page to review the names of the candidates. Click “Next” to proceed to the next step.
   

   If there are any candidate names that are not appropriate, you can remove them by clicking the “-” icon.

7. At this stage, you can download the template to update the hiring stage of the selected candidates by clicking “Download template”. After you fill in the template and save it on your computer folder, upload the template again by clicking “Browse”.
   

   Here is an example of the Bulk update candidate template that you need to complete. You can place your pointer over the column titles to see instructions for filling each column.
   

8. Make sure the file is completely uploaded as shown below. Click “Upload” to complete the bulk update candidates step.
   

   You can click the “-” icon to remove the uploaded file.
