If you have a list of jobs and milestones, you can add them quickly and easily by importing a CSV listing their details, rather than adding them one by one.

Jobs and milestones can only be added using a CSV, not removed or edited. You can use the same CSV to:

If you haven’t uploaded your talents, you can add the applicable columns to the same CSV and fill them in with your talents’ details. See below.

Note: If you include planned and requested amounts in your CSV, make sure you have enough in your budget to cover them. Otherwise, you won’t be able to upload the CSV. To increase your budget, go to the Budget page and click ASK next to each applicable workspace to request more budget from the workspace admin.

To upload new jobs and milestones, import a CSV file that follows this format (we recommend using our template):

Required or Optional

Comments

Job kind (Assign/Offer)

If left empty, the time frame is “one-time,” which is the default.

If left empty, the start date will be as soon as possible.

Requested amount

Optional

If left empty, the milestone will be set to “Active.” If an amount is included, the milestone will be set to “Awaiting approval.”

Fixed rate

Optional

This only applies when creating new jobs; otherwise it will be ignored.

Enter either a fixed rate OR an hourly rate, not both.

Hourly rate

Optional

This only applies when creating new jobs; otherwise it will be ignored.

When creating a new job with an hourly rate, the “Planned amount” column is required.

Enter either a fixed rate OR an hourly rate, not both.

Currency

Examples: USD, EUR, ILS

If left empty, the default is:

  • For new jobs: US dollars

  • For existing jobs: Based on the job’s current currency

This only applies when creating new jobs; otherwise it will be ignored, even if a new value is entered.

Instant hire

Optional

If left empty, it means “No” (i.e., not an instant hire job), which is the default.

For instant hire jobs, make sure this column is filled out for all rows or fill out the first row only and leave the subsequent rows blank.

Ask talents to submit a quote for this job

Optional

If left empty, it means “No” (i.e., talents don’t have to submit a quote to the hiring manager), which is the default.

For jobs requiring a quote, make sure this column is filled out for all rows or fill out the first row only and leave the subsequent rows blank.
