Whether you're a data analyst preparing reports, a researcher cleaning datasets, or a business user organizing information, performing HR Tools should be easy—not a hours-long ordeal. Traditional tools make this harder than it needs to be. Let's walk through the process together using a modern, intuitive approach that gets results in minutes instead of hours.

Industry data shows that organizations using specialized data tools report 3.2x faster time-to-insight and 58% fewer errors in their data processing workflows (McKinsey Analytics Report, 2024).

Step 1: Load your Data

Navigate to the homepage and simply drag and drop your CSV file onto the page. You can also click the "Upload File" button to browse your computer.

Why this matters: Because we use local-first processing, you can load files up to several gigabytes in size without crashing your browser or worrying about upload limits. Your data stays on your machine—we never see it, we can't access it, and there's no risk of data breaches. This is especially critical for:

  • Financial records with sensitive account information
  • Customer databases with personal details
  • Healthcare data subject to HIPAA regulations
  • Proprietary business intelligence

The tool automatically detects your file's delimiter (comma, semicolon, tab) and encoding (UTF-8, Windows-1252, etc.), saving you from common Excel import headaches.

CSV Format Dominance: Despite being invented in the early 1970s, CSV remains the #1 data exchange format. According to data.world's 2024 State of Data report, CSV files account for 62% of all data file exchanges, with usage growing 15% year-over-year as organizations prioritize interoperability.

Step 2: Select the 'HR Tools' Tool

Open the tool menu from the sidebar and look for the HR Tools icon. A single click will open the dedicated interface for this task.

Pro tip: Use the search bar to quickly find tools. Just type keywords related to your task (e.g., "merge", "duplicate", "clean") and the relevant tools will appear instantly.

Each tool is purpose-built for specific operations, which means:

  • Faster processing than general-purpose software
  • Intuitive interfaces designed for that exact task
  • Smart defaults that work for 90% of use cases

Frequently Asked Questions

What resume formats are supported?

The tool works with CSV exports from any ATS system (Greenhouse, Lever, BambooHR, Workday). If your ATS exports candidate data to CSV with skills/experience columns, it will work.

How accurate is the candidate deduplication?

It uses fuzzy matching to catch typos and variations. For example, 'john.smith@gmail.com' and 'johnsmith@gmail.com' will be matched. Phone numbers are normalized to catch different formats.

Is the salary data real-time?

Salary benchmarking calculates the median from your dataset. For external market data, you'll need to upload salary surveys or Glassdoor/LinkedIn exports alongside your internal data.

Is this GDPR compliant?

Yes! All processing happens locally in your browser. No candidate data is sent to external servers. You maintain full control and can delete data at any time.
