Importing via CSV

Manage your employee directory manually in Factorial IT by importing a CSV file with essential employee details, ensuring to manually track arrivals and departures, while noting that automated onboarding and offboarding features are not available.

This article explains how to manage your employee directory manually when no HRIS is connected.


Use Cases

Use this method if:

  • You don’t use an HRIS
  • You’re doing a one-time import
  • You want to add external collaborators (freelancers, interns, etc.)

Note that by importing your employees, it will be necessary to manually enter the arrivals and departures of your employees in Factorial IT.

 

 

Manual employee synch process

Here is the information you will be able to import into Factorial IT and what your CSV file must contain to correctly import employees:

  • First name *
  • Last name *
  • Professional email *
  • Personal email (optional)
  • Phone number (optional)
  • Team (optional)
  • Job title (optional)

Use this Template file so you can download and complete to help you import your employees.
