# How to Export Candidates to CSV

# How to Export Candidates to CSV

Use candidate export when you need a spreadsheet for reporting, backup, analysis, or handoff to another system.

## Step 1: Filter the candidate list

Go to a candidate list, job pipeline, or job table view. Apply the filters you need first: job, stage, source, tags, AI score, location, or any other visible filter.

## Step 2: Select candidates

Select candidates with checkboxes. You can select individual candidates, all candidates on the current page, or all candidates that match the current filter.

## Export types

100Hires supports:

- **CSV (All columns):** exports all available profile fields for the selected candidates.
- **Gusto Integration Export:** sends selected candidate data to Gusto if the integration is connected.

## What happens next

1. 100Hires creates a batch export action.
2. A download link appears when the export is ready.
3. Large exports can take extra time.
4. If an export fails for some candidates, review the failure count and reasons.

## Best practices

- Filter before selecting to avoid exporting unrelated candidates.
- Use **CSV (Selected columns)** for simple reports.
- Use **CSV (All columns)** for backups or migrations.
- Check privacy and consent requirements before sharing exported candidate data outside your company.
