This article applies to all Hire users in the PI2 platform.
Want to review candidate data in bulk outside of the PI software? Hire includes the ability to download candidate data as a CSV file.
Note: The ability to export candidate data is only available via the job page — not the candidates list. We plan to add this functionality in the future.
How to download candidate data as a CSV
Log in to the PI software.
Select Hire from the top navigation bar.
You will land on the Hiring Center.
Select the job whose candidates you'd like to export.
You will land on the job page.
Click the "More actions" button in the top-right corner. (This button is accessible from any of the 3 job tabs: Job Target, Job Ad Optimizer, or Candidates.)
Select "Download candidate CSV" from the dropdown options.
A pop-up will appear asking if you'd like to include cognitive data. (You will only see this pop-up if you've been granted cognitive access by a cognitive admin.)
Choose whether to include cognitive data. (We strongly recommend only including cognitive data in your file export when using it strictly within your hiring team.)
Click "Download report" to confirm.
You will see a "processing" message, followed by a success message.
The file will download via your browser.
What's included in the candidate CSV download?
The candidate CSV download includes the following fields:

Factor A (refers to the candidate's sigma value for this factor)
Factor B (")
Factor C (")
