Engagement Options
Choose the Recruitment Data Entry Scope That Matches Your Queue
Recruitment data work varies sharply by source quality, candidate volume, field count, target system and exception rate. Start with a small structured batch or request a custom scope for larger, ongoing or system-heavy work.
Starter
Starter Candidate Data Entry
For a small, clearly structured pilot batch where the source format and target fields are already defined.
From $49 USD
✓One agreed source format and one target structure
✓Candidate/resume field entry using supplied rules
✓Basic formatting and required-field checks
✓Exception list for unclear or missing values
✓Indicative 2–5 working day window after inputs are ready
What changes price: candidate or record volume, source-file consistency, number of target fields, manual resume interpretation, duplicate handling, direct ATS/CRM access, custom validation rules, stakeholder approvals, urgency and recurring reporting needs. The $49 entry price is for meaningful but tightly structured starter work; teaser microtasks are not used as the basis for the package.
Not sure whether your candidate backlog fits the starter scope?
Describe the source files, target fields or ATS, approximate volume and the main data-quality issue. Rudrriv can confirm whether a starter batch, project batch or ongoing queue is more appropriate.

Why Recruitment Data Entry Is Different
Candidate Data Has to Stay Connected to the Recruitment Pipeline — Not Just a Spreadsheet Row
Recruitment teams work with linked objects: candidate profiles, resumes, jobs or requisitions, sources, recruiter ownership, stages, interview activity and placement outcomes. Generic data entry can create tidy cells while breaking those relationships. Recruitment-focused data entry starts with the target workflow and field definitions, then processes records around that structure.
Sourcing / IntakeCandidate and source records enter the funnel.
Profile BuildContact, CV and job-fit fields are structured.
ScreeningStatus and recruiter ownership need consistent values.
InterviewStage changes and notes must stay on the right record.
Placement / CloseOutcome and handoff fields complete the record lifecycle.
Deep Dive 1 — Candidate Record Architecture
Map Recruitment Sources Into the Fields Your Team Actually Uses
A candidate profile can carry identifiers, contact details, resume information, role links, application source, recruiter ownership and process-stage data. The field map determines what should be captured, transformed, left blank or flagged.
Resumes & CVs
Name, contact details, current role, employment history, education, skills and other agreed resume fields.
Candidate Lists & Exports
Spreadsheet or CSV records, campaign lists, legacy ATS exports and recruiter-maintained trackers.
Recruiter Notes & Updates
Agreed stage, owner, disposition or process notes that need to be attached to the correct candidate or vacancy.
Job / Requisition References
Role ID, department, location, client, requisition or vacancy fields needed to keep candidate records connected to demand.
Example Target Field Families
The exact schema comes from your ATS, recruitment CRM, client template or operating rules. Not every field should be collected for every role or jurisdiction.
IdentityName, candidate ID, profile reference
ContactEmail, phone, location where required
ExperienceCurrent title, company, work history
EducationInstitution, degree, dates if in scope
SkillsClient-approved skill or keyword fields
ApplicationRole, requisition, source, application ID
OwnershipRecruiter, coordinator, team or branch
StageScreen, interview, offer, placement or close
Custom FieldsOnly agreed and relevant client-defined fields
Important: unclear employment dates, conflicting contact information, duplicate candidates, unsupported status values or sensitive fields should be handled through agreed rules and exception review — not inference.

Customer Inputs & Readiness
What Your Recruitment Team Should Provide Before Data Entry Starts
Clean scoping prevents rework. The most important input is not just the source file — it is the rule for how each source value should land in the target record.
Input
What to Provide
Why It Matters
Authorised source data
Resumes, candidate lists, exports, notes or approved files that your organisation is entitled to process.
Defines the actual information Rudrriv may work with; avoid sending unrelated or unnecessary personal data.
Target structure
Spreadsheet template, CSV schema, ATS/CRM field list, sample record or client submission format.
Prevents values being placed into the wrong field or recorded inconsistently.
Field rules
Required fields, date and phone formats, status values, duplicate logic, blank-value rules and naming conventions.
Creates repeatable decisions across the full candidate batch.
System access
Only if direct entry is required: authorised account/access route, role permissions and any customer-side security steps.
Direct ATS/CRM work depends on secure, approved access and the target system’s permissions.
Exception owner
A recruiter, recruitment operations contact or HR stakeholder who can resolve ambiguous records.
Allows unclear values to be escalated instead of guessed.
Retention / transfer expectations
Your required file-sharing, deletion, retention and handoff instructions where applicable.
Candidate information can be personal data; your governance requirements should shape the workflow.
Systems, Formats & Operational Objects
Work With the Recruitment Data Environment You Already Use
Rudrriv does not need to force your candidate data into a generic template. The target can be a client-defined file or an authorised recruitment system, subject to access and scope.
ATS Platforms
Candidate, application, job and stage fields in authorised applicant tracking systems.
Recruitment CRMs
Prospect/candidate records, recruiter ownership, notes and workflow fields.
Excel / CSV / Sheets
Structured trackers, upload templates, data-cleaning files and client submissions.
Resume / CV Files
DOCX, PDF and other readable documents used as the approved source for fields.
Import / Export Files
System exports and import-ready structures where the target supports batch upload.
Custom Field Sets
Client, branch, requisition, source, stage and other approved operating fields.
Examples of common recruitment systems include platforms such as Greenhouse, Workable, Lever, Bullhorn and Zoho Recruit. Mentioning a platform does not imply a partnership or certification; actual support depends on your authorised access method and field requirements.
Deep Dive 2 — Quality, Exceptions & Candidate Data
Accuracy Is More Than Typing Correctly — the Record Must Be Usable and Appropriately Handled
Recruitment datasets often contain repeated candidates, partial resumes, inconsistent dates, old statuses, multiple email addresses and client-specific fields. A useful process separates deterministic entry from values that need a recruiter or data owner to decide.
Quality Review Method
The review depth can be scaled to the risk and complexity of the batch.
1
Field-map checkConfirm source fields and target destinations before bulk work.
2
Required-field checkIdentify missing mandatory values without inventing data.
3
Format / value checkApply agreed formats and approved status/value lists.
4
Duplicate / linkage reviewFlag likely duplicates and ensure job/requisition links follow the supplied rules.
5
Exception handoffReturn unresolved items to the nominated customer contact for a decision.
Candidate Privacy & Security Considerations
Candidate profiles commonly contain personal identifiers, contact information, education and work history, and recruitment-process data. The customer remains responsible for ensuring a lawful purpose, appropriate notices or permissions, retention rules and access controls for the data being shared.
✓Limit the dataset to fields needed for the agreed recruitment purpose.
✓Use customer-approved transfer and access methods.
✓Define whether copies should be retained, returned or deleted after handoff.
✓Do not infer sensitive or protected characteristics from names, resumes or other indirect signals.
✓Escalate special-category, vetting or highly sensitive fields for explicit scope and handling rules.
First enquiry: describe the project rather than pasting candidate records or highly sensitive information into the web form. Data-transfer arrangements can be agreed after scope review.

Rudrriv does not make recruitment decisions, suitability judgments, background-check conclusions or employment-law determinations under this service.
Delivery Process
A Six-Step Process for Recruitment Data Entry and Review
The process reduces avoidable rework by validating the target structure and exception rules before the queue is processed at scale.
STEP 01
Scope & Source Review
Confirm source files, target system, volume and access method.
STEP 02
Field Mapping
Agree target fields, status values, formats and duplicate rules.
STEP 03
Sample / Calibration
Use an initial subset when needed to resolve mapping questions early.
STEP 04
Data Entry
Capture, standardise and update records to the agreed target.
STEP 05
QA & Exceptions
Review required fields, formats, duplicates and unresolved items.
STEP 06
Final Handoff
Deliver the completed output, exception list and agreed closure notes.
Turnaround: 2–5 working days for a small structured starter batch; larger, multi-source or direct-ATS work is confirmed after scope review.. Timing is most affected by volume, readability of source documents, number of fields, exception rate, direct-system access, approvals and urgency. Corrections within the agreed field map can be reviewed; material scope changes are re-scoped.

Frequently Asked Questions
Recruitment Data Entry Questions Buyers Usually Need Answered
These answers focus on candidate records, ATS/CRM workflows, scope, privacy, pricing, quality and handoff rather than generic data-entry questions.
What is Recruitment Data Entry?
Recruitment Data Entry is the structured capture, transfer, cleanup and update of candidate, vacancy and recruitment-process information into an agreed spreadsheet, recruitment CRM or applicant tracking system. The work follows a defined field map and does not replace recruiter judgment.
Which recruitment records can be included?
Typical scope can include candidate contact details, resume-derived work history and education, skills, role or requisition references, source, recruiter or coordinator fields, application status, interview-stage updates, notes and client-defined custom fields when they are relevant and authorised.
Can you enter data directly into our ATS or recruitment CRM?
Direct system entry can be scoped when you provide authorised access, the required permissions, field definitions and process rules. If direct access is not appropriate, Rudrriv can prepare an import-ready spreadsheet or CSV for your team to review and upload.
Can you work from resumes and CVs?
Yes, where resume or CV information is part of the agreed source set. Clear digital files are easier to process. Scanned, image-based or inconsistent documents may require additional extraction, manual review or custom scope.
Do you source candidates as part of this service?
No. The standard Recruitment Data Entry scope is for information you already hold or are authorised to process. Candidate sourcing, lead generation, scraping, outreach and recruitment decision-making are separate activities and should be scoped separately if required.
How much does Recruitment Data Entry cost?
A small, clearly structured starter batch can begin from $49. Larger batches, multiple source formats, direct ATS entry, complex custom fields, deduplication, research, urgent deadlines or ongoing queues are quoted after scope review.
How long does the work take?
A small structured starter batch is typically planned for 2–5 working days once source files, field rules and target format are clear. Larger volumes, poor-quality scans, multiple systems, stakeholder approvals or exception-heavy data can increase turnaround.
What do you need from us before work starts?
You should provide the authorised source data, target template or system, field definitions, any mandatory formatting rules, duplicate-handling logic, status or stage rules, access instructions where applicable, and a contact who can resolve exceptions.
How do you handle duplicates and unclear records?
Duplicate or ambiguous records should be handled using the rules agreed at kickoff. Where a record cannot be resolved safely from the supplied information, it can be flagged in an exception log rather than guessed.
Can you standardise candidate data while entering it?
Yes, agreed normalisation rules can be applied to items such as date formats, phone formatting, job titles, locations, status values and field naming. Material enrichment or interpretation beyond the agreed rules may require custom scope.
How is quality reviewed?
The workflow can include source-to-target checks, required-field checks, format checks, duplicate review and exception tracking. The exact review depth should match the risk, volume and complexity of the data being processed.
How should sensitive candidate information be handled?
Only information needed for the agreed recruitment purpose should be included. Access, retention, deletion, transfer method and any sensitive fields should follow your organisation’s privacy, security and legal requirements. Avoid sending highly sensitive candidate data in the first web enquiry.
Can this support an ATS migration or recruitment database cleanup?
Yes, structured migration preparation, field mapping, cleanup and import-file creation can be scoped. System-to-system migration logic, API work, large-scale transformation or automated integrations normally require a custom project.
What happens if our requirements change after work starts?
Corrections within the agreed field map and supplied source data can be handled through the review process. New data sources, new fields, new systems, material enrichment or a different target structure may require a revised scope.
What happens after I submit the enquiry?
Rudrriv reviews the source type, target fields or system, approximate volume, access approach, data-quality issues and timing. Clarification may be requested before the final scope, price and delivery expectation are confirmed.
