You can also click on the '**Show me the detailed form**' which will give you a larger number of fields to complete.

{% hint style="info" %} **Note**: Most folks don't know a lot of the detailed form information prior to hiring a candidate, so in most cases, you are better off with the ***simple form***. {% endhint %} ## Simple Upload Template If you chose to bulk upload via on of our templates, you'll download a .csv file using one of the two forms → ![](https://3412627069-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2Fdh5JD0cdH4KWbjolN2Aa%2Fuploads%2FF0avEad8NJ5BzU25fyAj%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=6b396d62-2552-4fe7-b1a8-2742e552dfc7) Populate candidate details, then Save As

If not, let's continue below.

We'll highlight the row that is in error in red. To fix it, find the error, double click into the box and update the information. Once you've corrected all of the boxes, the blue Save button will appear in the right hand corner and you'll be able to Save your candidates.
