Exporting to CSV or Excel
Download a shortlist or a search with the columns you pick.
Export downloads a list of people as a CSV or Excel file, with the columns you choose. Use it to share a shortlist with a hiring manager, load people into your ATS, or keep a copy in a spreadsheet.
Where to export from#
- A project: the Export button at the top right of the project overview exports its shortlist.
- A shortlist: the Export button on Projectsyour projectShortlist.
- The Projects page: a row’s ⋯ menu has Export shortlist.
- People search: the Export button above the results exports everyone who matches your filters.
- A Haley chat: the Export button on the results table exports the people in that table.
People only
Export is for people. Company search results don’t have an export button.
Export a list#
Press Export
The Export window says how many people will be in the file. If the shortlist is empty, Ladel says Nothing to export yet: shortlist a few people first.
Pick the columns
Every column is ticked to start with. Untick the ones you don’t want, or use None and tick just a few. The counter shows how many you’ve chosen, out of 22.
Choose CSV or Excel
Press CSV or Excel. A big list shows Preparing… and how many people are loaded so far. When it’s done you’ll see CSV downloaded or Excel downloaded, and the file is in your Downloads.
Excel keeps links clickable
In the Excel file, the LinkedIn and Ladel profile columns open as links. In a CSV they’re plain text.

|---|---|
| Name | Full name. |

What isn’t in an export#
Exports never include email addresses or phone numbers, even ones your firm has looked up. Contact details stay inside Ladel, shown only to your firm. See Privacy and data.
Limits#
- One download holds up to 10,000 people. A bigger list shows This download includes the first 10,000 people.
- A Haley chat keeps only the people it showed you. If it kept fewer than the full match, the export says so; ask again, or open the same search on People, to export everyone.
- How many rows you can export depends on your plan. See Pricing and Plans and limits.
Exports are counted#
Each export adds to the project’s Exported count, on the project and on Projects, and shows in the Activity list on Home, for example “42 profiles from “Nurses, Kochi” exported as Excel”.
Questions#
How do I share a shortlist with my team or a client?
Export it to Excel and send the file. Projects are private to the person who made them for now, so a file is the way to share.
Can I import the file into my ATS?
Yes. Most systems, including Zoho Recruit and Naukri RMS, import a CSV. Direct connections to some of these are coming; see Connecting email and calendar to request one.
Does exporting use contact lookups?
No. Exports never include contact details, so they never use a lookup.
