How Do I Migrate an HR Tracker Off Spreadsheets?

You migrate an HR tracker off spreadsheets by uploading the existing file, then restructuring it into connected candidate and employee records with a real Kanban pipeline for recruiting stages. On Jestor, this becomes a structured BPM process, not a spreadsheet.

HR spreadsheets tend to accumulate sensitive data, salary history, personal details, without the permission controls that kind of data really needs.

What HR spreadsheets get wrong

  • Sensitive data, salary, personal details, visible to anyone with file access
  • No formal pipeline stages, just a status column updated inconsistently
  • No connection between a candidate's recruiting data and their later employee record
  • No structured audit trail for HR decisions

How HR migration off spreadsheets works

  • Upload the existing HR spreadsheet to generate an initial candidate or employee table
  • Recruiting becomes a visual Kanban pipeline, from application to offer
  • Field-level permissions restrict sensitive data, like salary, to only the roles that need it
  • A hired candidate's record connects directly into onboarding, no re-entry required

Why Jestor fits this use case

  • Sensitive HR data gets the field-level protection a spreadsheet never offered
  • Recruiting and onboarding become connected, visible processes, not static trackers
  • History and audit trail support HR compliance needs
  • The AI-assisted app builder can help structure this quickly from the uploaded data
