What’s inside the ats candidate tracker

The template is a single ready-to-use sheet with a frozen header row and one column per field. Its columns are:

  • Name
  • Email
  • Phone
  • Location
  • Current title
  • Company
  • Skills
  • Status
  • Notes

How to use this template

Two ways. Fill it in by hand as a plain spreadsheet — or, to skip the typing, upload your resumes to ParseForMe, pick this template as your export format, and the parsed data lands in these columns automatically. Map the fields once and every future document reuses the layout.

Who it’s for

Recruiters and hiring managers building a shortlist, and staffing agencies loading applicants into a simple tracker before they reach a full ATS.
