Smart CSV Exporter: Connect :Recruit to Any HRIS, No Integration Required

We know that for many of our clients, the hiring workflow doesn’t end in :Recruit. Your organisation relies on HRIS platforms alongside your Scout Talent ecosystem. However, when a direct API integration isn’t available for these platforms, your team is left with time-consuming and error-prone manual data entry that slows down the hiring process.

As your recruitment partner, we’ve built Smart CSV Exporter to bridge these gaps, delivering perfectly formatted candidate exports that work seamlessly with any platform you need.


What’s New in a Nutshell

  • Pre-built CSV templates: Templates for specific HRIS platforms that match their exact requirements
  • Automated data mapping: Eliminates manual spreadsheet work and ensures accuracy
  • One-click exports: Easily export individual candidates or bulk applicant lists
  • Clear, simple interface: Review and customise data before exporting it in a clean, intuitive layout
  • Complete customisation control: Match your exact tech stack by adjusting data fields as needed
  • Request custom templates: Our team can build a custom template for your unique systems and workflows

What This Means For Your Team

Smart CSV Exporter solves the specific bottleneck of moving candidate data to a non-integrated HRIS. Instead of manually copying and pasting candidate details into a spreadsheet, your team can now generate a ready-to-upload file in seconds.

This means less time spent on administrative tasks and more time focused on valuable recruitment activities. For your hiring managers and HR teams, it means receiving accurate candidate data faster, without the delays or errors associated with manual data transfer. The process of moving a successful candidate from :Recruit to your HRIS is now simple, fast, and reliable.

A Deeper Dive: How Smart CSV Exporter Works

This feature was built to address a real-world workflow challenge. While our direct API integrations are the ideal solution for systems that support them, Smart CSV Exporter is our robust answer for every other platform.

Our system maintains a library of templates, each designed to match the precise column headers, data formats, and field requirements of a destination platform. When you choose a platform, Smart CSV Exporter automatically prepares your :Recruit candidate data into the exact structure that your HRIS expects.

While our direct integrations offer real-time automation, this new solution ensures your recruitment process connects seamlessly with your entire HR ecosystem. It bridges the critical gap between hiring a candidate in :Recruit and onboarding them as an employee in your HRIS.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Which platforms does Smart CSV Exporter currently support?

Our template library launches with support for common HRIS platforms. We are continuously adding new templates based on client needs.

What if my organisation uses a platform that isn’t in your template library?

That’s exactly why we built this tool. Contact our support team with your platform’s specifications, and our recruitment specialists will work with you to build a custom template.

How is this different from a standard “Export to CSV” function?

A standard export provides raw, unformatted data. You are still required to manually clean the file, reorder columns, and change headers to match your HRIS’s import requirements. Smart CSV Exporter does all of that formatting for you automatically.

Can I adjust the data fields included in my exports?

Yes. You have complete control to review, edit, and add custom information to every field before you export, ensuring the output matches your exact needs.

Does this feature require additional setup or training for my team?

No. Smart CSV Exporter is integrated directly into your existing Scout Talent workflow and uses the same intuitive interface your team already knows.
