Bulk Applicant CSV Export

Export selected applications from the admin list table to a UTF-8 CSV spreadsheet - one row per applicant, ready to drop into Google Sheets, Excel, or your ATS.

Where to find it

In wp-admin, navigate to Career Board → Applications. The list table ships a Bulk actions dropdown with an Export to CSV option.

How to use it

1. Filter / search the list down to the applications you want (the status and job filters on the list table all work).
2. Tick the row checkboxes (or the column-header checkbox to select the whole visible set).
3. Open the Bulk actions dropdown, choose Export to CSV, click Apply.
4. The browser downloads wcb-applications-YYYY-MM-DD-HHMMSS.csv.

Columns in the export

The CSV has these columns, in this order:

Column	Source
ID	Application post ID
Job ID	Numeric ID of the linked job, for joining back to the jobs table
Job Title	Linked wcb_job post title
Applicant Name	Candidate display name, or the guest name for guest applications
Applicant Email	Candidate user email, or the guest email
Status	Application status slug (submitted, reviewing, shortlisted, rejected, hired)
Submitted	Application post date
Cover Letter	The cover letter text (multi-line preserved using CSV quoted-string semantics)
Resume URL	Direct link to the uploaded resume file, when one was attached

Encoding

UTF-8 with a BOM so Excel renders non-ASCII names correctly without manual import-wizard configuration. Multi-line cover letters preserve newlines using standard CSV quoted-string semantics.

Permissions

The export is available on the admin Applications screen, and each row is included only for applications the current user can edit (the standard edit_post capability check per application). Site admins can export all; an employer reaching the screen exports only their own applications.
