About this applicant tracking system spreadsheet template

This Applicant Tracking System template gives HR teams and recruiters a structured four-sheet workbook to manage the entire hiring lifecycle. The Candidate Register captures every applicant with details such as role, source, stage, recruiter, interview score, expected salary, and days in process, while the Candidate Cards sheet highlights priority candidates for quick review.

The Hiring Dashboard visualizes your recruitment funnel with conversion metrics, cycle time, and average scores by role so you can spot bottlenecks and stalled candidates at a glance. The Lists & Guide sheet documents the hiring workflow stages — from application through screening, interview, final review, offer, and hire — with clear owners, entry criteria, and escalation rules.

Every cell, label, and layout is fully editable in WPS Office, Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets, and Apple Numbers. Adapt the pipeline stages, scoring criteria, and source categories to match your organization's recruitment process without rebuilding the structure.
