Importing Staff
Runnit can populate an organisation with staff from a spreadsheet, creating user accounts, adding them to the organisation, and indexing their profiles so they’re discoverable through search.
What gets imported
Section titled “What gets imported”A staff import reads each person from your spreadsheet and:
- Creates a user account and adds them to the organisation as a member.
- Imports profile details such as biography, title, team, and skills.
- Indexes each profile so staff can be found through semantic (meaning-based) search.
Spreadsheet format
Section titled “Spreadsheet format”The importer reads your spreadsheet and matches its columns to profile fields. The header row is detected automatically, so it doesn’t need to be the first row.
| Column | Description | Required |
|---|---|---|
| Name | Full name | Yes |
| Bio | Staff biography or description | No |
| Title | Job title | No |
| Team | Department or team name | No |
| Primary Skills | Comma-separated skills | No |
| Contact Details | Phone number | No |
| Location | Work location | No |
People whose email already exists are skipped, so you can safely re-run an import without creating duplicates.
What’s indexed for search
Section titled “What’s indexed for search”Imported profiles are indexed across their name and email, title, short and long bio, skills, preferred work types, portfolio, and project experience, so you can search staff by capability and background, not just by name.
