Upload up to 100 CVs at once and let AI parse them into applications.
If you have a folder of CVs from a job board, an agency, or an old ATS, you do not need to add candidates one by one. Bulk CV Import lets you upload up to 100 CVs in a single batch. Equip parses each file with AI and creates a job application automatically.
In your job opening dashboard, open the job you want to add candidates to and click Bulk Import CVs. Every parsed CV becomes an application in that job’s pipeline.

Select your PDF files and start the import
The uploader accepts PDF files only, up to 100 files per batch and 10 MB per file. For more than 100 CVs, upload several batches.

Confirm the upload. The batch is processed in the background, so you can leave the page.
Bulk CV Import comes with the Premium plan and above, and costs 0.01 credits per CV, so a full batch of 100 CVs costs 1 credit. The cost is checked against your team’s credit balance before the batch starts.Each CV goes through the same AI parsing as a direct application. See CV Parsing for the list of extracted fields.
The batch detail page shows the batch status and a result for each file. Every failed file shows a reason.

Common failure reasons are a missing email, a missing name, a duplicate application for the same job, or a CV the parser could not read. Fix the file or resolve the duplicate, then re-upload just the affected CVs in a new batch.
Candidates added through Bulk CV Import never confirmed their email address themselves, so Equip marks them as unverified.Unverified candidates receive no stage-change emails. You can still move them through the pipeline, but invitation and rejection emails are held back until the email is verified.
If you invite an unverified candidate to an assessment or AI interview stage, the invite dialog shows a warning and no email goes out. Verify the candidate’s email first if you want them to receive the invitation.
To verify a candidate, open their profile and copy the verification link from the email popover, then share it with the candidate directly.
Each imported application records its source as “Bulk CV Upload”, which the ATS Insights dashboard reports on.
