# How Do I Move a Recruiting Tracker Off Google Sheets?

You move a recruiting tracker off Google Sheets by uploading it to generate a candidate table, then building a visual Kanban pipeline from application to offer on top of that same data. On **Jestor**, this becomes a structured BPM process for recruiting.

A recruiting spreadsheet in Google Sheets tells you the current status of each candidate, if it is kept updated, but gives hiring managers no easy way to see the pipeline at a glance.

## What Google Sheets recruiting trackers get wrong

- Status updated in a text column, requiring someone to read every row to understand the pipeline
- No visual sense of how many candidates are at each stage
- Hiring managers needing to ask the recruiter for status instead of seeing it directly
- No structured connection between a hired candidate and their onboarding record

## How recruiting migration works

- Upload the existing Google Sheets tracker to generate an initial candidate table
- Build a visual **Kanban** pipeline from application to offer, using the same data
- **OCR** can read resumes and applications into structured fields automatically
- A hired candidate's record connects directly into onboarding

## Why Jestor fits this use case

- Kanban gives hiring managers visibility without asking the recruiter directly
- OCR reduces manual data entry from resumes and applications
- The candidate record carries through from recruiting to onboarding automatically
- Migration typically starts by uploading the existing Google Sheets tracker directly

| Status in a text column, hard to scan | Visual Kanban, instantly readable |
