Source: https://www.hiretruffle.com/how-it-works/guides/export-candidates Last verified against the product: 2026-10-05 Time required: 4 min Every screenshot and label below was captured from the live product. **Outcome.** By the end you can download a CSV of a position's candidates or of the ones you pick, save one candidate's screening as a PDF document, and, on an annual plan, download a zip with one PDF per candidate. ## Before you start - A Truffle account. The 7-day free trial works: 30 credits, no credit card. - A position with candidates who have finished their screening. - For the zip of PDFs: an annual plan. ## Steps ### 1. Export the list as a CSV Open the position and pick the tab you want, here **All** with three candidates. Choose the menu button (three dots) next to **Filters**, then **Export all**. The CSV holds the candidates listed on the tab you have open. ### 2. Check the file Truffle confirms **Export started** and the file downloads, named after the position and the date. It has one row per candidate with these columns: First name, Last name, Email, Phone, Job title, Source, Status, **Match score (%)**, Date applied, **Date hired**, **Candidate link** and **Candidate ID**. The Status column uses the labels you see in the app, such as **For Review** and **On Hold**. ### 3. Export only the candidates you pick Tick the candidates you want. In the bar at the bottom, choose **More**, then **Export selected**. The CSV has the same columns, with only those candidates. ### 4. Save one candidate as a PDF Open the candidate's profile, choose the share icon and go to **DOCUMENT** at the bottom of **Share & export**. **Download PDF** makes a document of the current selection: the audience you picked above, such as **Hiring team**, decides what it carries. With interview responses included, the PDF has the complete transcripts and QR codes that open the video responses. > Note: The share guide explains what each audience carries and leaves out. ### 5. Or print it from your browser **Open the print view in your browser instead** opens the same document in a new tab, with **Print / Save as PDF** at the top. It starts with the candidate's name, the position, when they applied and completed, and their signals, then a section for each part the selection carries. ### 6. Know that the document uses a share link The PDF, the print view and the zip each use a share link with the same selection. Truffle reuses a matching link or creates one, and it is listed under **LINKS FOR THIS CANDIDATE** like any other. Revoke it there when you no longer need it. ### 7. Download several as a zip On an annual plan, tick the candidates, choose **More**, then **Share & export…**. With more than one candidate selected, the panel shows **DOCUMENT BUNDLE** and **Download zip**: one PDF per candidate, with the same selection for all of them. ## FAQ **Which formats can I export from the candidate list?** A CSV, of the tab you have open or of the candidates you tick. One candidate can also be saved as a PDF document from Share & export, and on annual plans several can be downloaded as a zip of PDFs. **What is in the CSV?** One row per candidate: name, email, phone, job title, source, status, match score, date applied, date hired, a link to the candidate in Truffle and the candidate ID. **What does the PDF include?** What the selected audience carries, the same as a share link with that selection. With interview responses on, it has the complete transcripts and QR codes to the video responses. Internal notes, ratings and hiring status are never included. **Who can download a zip of PDFs?** Accounts on an annual plan. On other plans, save candidates one at a time with Download PDF. **Does exporting change anything about the candidate?** No. Exporting does not change a candidate's status or email them. The PDF and the zip do use a share link for the selection, which you can revoke under Links for this candidate. ## Exact labels in the product These strings are captured from the live product and verified automatically, so they can be quoted directly: `All` · `Filters` · `Export all` · `Export started` · `A CSV of these candidates is being downloaded.` · `Match score (%)` · `Date hired` · `Candidate link` · `Candidate ID` · `For Review` · `On Hold` · `More` · `Export selected` · `Share & export…` · `DOCUMENT` · `Download PDF` · `Hiring team` · `A PDF of this same selection, with complete transcripts and QR codes to the video responses.` · `A PDF of this same selection.` · `Open the print view in your browser instead` · `Print / Save as PDF` · `LINKS FOR THIS CANDIDATE` · `DOCUMENT BUNDLE` · `Download zip` · `One PDF per candidate with this same selection` ## Related - https://www.hiretruffle.com/how-it-works/reviewing - https://www.hiretruffle.com/how-it-works/credits - https://www.hiretruffle.com/how-it-works/guides/share-a-candidate - https://www.hiretruffle.com/how-it-works/guides/make-a-decision --- Truffle is an AI screening platform for small teams doing high-volume hiring: resume screening, one-way video interviews, and talent assessments, working with job boards like Indeed or an existing ATS. AI surfaces the evidence and you make every decision. Scores never reject a candidate; the only automatic rejection is a qualification rule the employer writes. https://www.hiretruffle.com
