Applicant tracking spreadsheet template
A template, not a system. Open it and start tracking in two minutes.
Most applicant tracking spreadsheet templates ship with thirty columns you'll never fill in. This one ships with six, because those are the ones small teams actually update.
Download it, paste your candidates in, and you're tracking. If the sheet outgrows itself, Recruit Flow imports the same CSV.
What's in the template
Built for: Anyone who needs an applicant tracker today, not next quarter.

Questions
Why only six columns?
Because every extra column is a column someone will leave blank. Start small, add only what you'll actually use.
