ATS spreadsheet
The ATS-shaped spreadsheet you already wish you had.
An ATS spreadsheet is a compromise: cheap, familiar, and it hides candidates the moment a hiring manager forgets to sort by stage.
Use this template until it starts to hurt — then upload it to RecruitFlow and get the board, filters, and timeline that a real ATS gives you.
What's in the template
Built for: Small teams who aren't ready for a real ATS yet.
