This article explains how to manage your employee directory manually when no HR system is connected.
Use cases
Use this method if:
- You don’t use an HR system
- You’re doing a one-time import
- You want to add external collaborators (freelancers, interns, etc.)
Note that by importing your employees, you must manually enter the arrivals and departures of your employees.

Here is the information you can import and what your CSV file must contain to correctly import employees:
- First name *
- Last name *
- Professional email *
- Personal email (optional)
- Phone number (optional)
- Team (optional)
- Job title (optional)
Use this Template file so you can download and complete to help you import your employees.
