How to Bulk-Upload Your Manpower Plan Data

Learn how to import your manpower plan and monthly headcount from a template file in Recruitera — download, fill, upload, and confirm.

Rather than typing every position, you load your manpower plan from a template file — both the planned headcount and the monthly actuals. This is the upload step used when creating or updating a plan. Available to members with manpower access.

Before you start

  • Where to find it: the upload steps of the plan wizard, and a plan's Update headcount / re-upload actions

How the import works

  1. Download the template from the upload step.

  2. Fill it in — each job title under its department, with the planned headcount and monthly allocation. Don't rename or delete the columns; Recruitera matches them automatically.

  3. Save the file and upload it (pick a file or drag it onto the dropzone).

  4. Recruitera validates the file and shows a preview. Fix any flagged mismatches, then confirm to commit.

The two uploads

  • Plan upload — your budgeted/planned headcount per job and month.

  • Monthly headcount — your actuals, to track progress against the plan (the template comes pre-filled with your jobs).

💡 To refresh actuals later without changing the plan, use a plan's Update headcount action.

Frequently asked questions

What if my file doesn't match?

The preview flags mismatches (for example a department name that doesn't line up) so you can correct the file and re-upload before committing.

Which file format?

Use the provided template and save it as CSV, keeping the original columns intact.
