Importing and Exporting Data in Recruitment PLUS™

Getting Started with Imports and Exports

The Import/Export Wizard helps you manage data imports to Recruitment PLUS and exports of data from Recruitment PLUS.  Before you do an import or export:

  • Read the Import/Export General Documentation. This document gives an overview of the entire import and export process with step-by-step instructions for completing specific tasks.

DTS Package Naming Convention

  • Make sure that a package for the import or export(s) is installed in your database.

We provide standard packages for many common data file layouts. To see if the package you need is available, check the Import Package List or Export Package List. Please choose the links on the left side of this page appropriate for the version of Recruitment PLUS you are using.

If the package you need is in the list:

  1. Download and read the package documentation. The package documentation is a supplement to the Import/Export General Documentation document that provides instructions specific to the package you are working with.
  2. Contact Support Services to request installation of the package.

If the package you need is NOT in the list, you have these options:

  • Contact Support Services to see if the package you need is under development.
  • For imports - create a data file that matches the file layout of one of our standard packages.
  • For exports - extract the data you need from one of our standard export output files.
  • Use the new custom import builder functionality or export builder functionality available beginning in Recruitment PLUS 8.x.

Recruitment PLUS 8.0 Upgrade

With the upgrade to Recruitment PLUS 8.0, any standard Import or Export packages installed in your database will be updated to package versions compatible with Recruitment PLUS 8.0. Documentation for 8.0 packages has been revised and is available on the package list pages.

Custom Import/Export Packages

If the package you need is NOT on the Import or Export Package List, you have these options:

  • Contact Support Services to see if the package you need is under development.
  • For imports - create a data file that matches the file layout of one of our standard packages.
  • For exports - extract the data you need from one of our standard export output files.
  • Request a custom import or export package.

We offer development of custom packages as a fee-based project. Custom projects are billed at the rate of $150 per hour of research and development required.
