## Tips

* **Assign to a job**: During import, you can assign all candidates to a specific job or talent pool
* **Add a source**: Tag imported candidates with "Indeed" as their source for tracking
* **Bulk upload resumes**: If Indeed provides resume files, you can also use **Add candidates** > **Upload resumes** to import them with automatic resume parsing

## What gets imported

Indeed exports typically include:
* Candidate name
* Email address
* Phone number
* Application date
* Resume text or attachment (if available)

## Next steps after import

Once candidates are in 100Hires:
* Set up [nurture campaigns](https://app.100hires.com/settings/nurture-campaigns/index) to engage them
* Use [AI scoring](https://app.100hires.com/settings/workflow) to evaluate candidates
* Move candidates through your [pipeline stages](https://app.100hires.com/settings/stages)
