Applicant tracking spreadsheet
A lightweight ATS that lives in a spreadsheet — or graduates into a real one.
Most applicant tracking systems are sold to companies with 500 people. If you're hiring four people this year, you need a spreadsheet — or something that feels like one.
This template is the spreadsheet version. Recruit Flow is the same thing with a board view, timeline, and CSV import.
What's in the template
Built for: Solo recruiters and small teams who aren't ready for an enterprise ATS.
| Name | Role | Source | Stage | Notes | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hana Tanaka | Data Scientist | maya@example.com | Job Board | Applied | Strong portfolio, mostly B2B SaaS. |
| Tom Becker | Data Scientist | maya@example.com | Screening | Strong portfolio, mostly B2B SaaS. |

Questions
How is this different from a real ATS?
It's lighter. No requisition workflows, no compliance modules, no permission matrices — just a list of people and where they are.
