> Upload your CVs and old CRM files: the AI recognises the columns and hice creates candidates, companies and contacts, flags duplicates and lets you undo. Source: https://hice.ai/en/chat-ai/bulk-data-migration # Years of candidates and clients in hice, without retyping a single line. Upload the folder of CVs and the files from your old CRM or from Excel, just as they are. The AI works out how they're organised and hice creates the records for candidates, companies and contacts. It works with Hice AI or with your own AI model, connected with an API key. Available on the Business and Enterprise plans, not on the free plan. ## From old files to hice, in four steps You don't need to prepare anything: no templates to fill in, no columns to rename. You tell hice what each file contains and it does the rest. - 1Upload the files as they areCVs in PDF or Word, even photographed or scanned, and whole folders compressed into a zip. For clients: Excel, CSV or vCard files exported from your old CRM or management software. Every file goes through a virus scan.cv-emma-clarke.pdf - cv-mark-bennett.docx - cv-scanned.jpg - cv-archive.zip - clients.xlsx - suppliers.csv - contacts.vcf Virus scan passed - 2The AI understands your filesIn client files the AI looks at the headers and a few sample rows, and works out where the company name, VAT number, email and phone are. It doesn't need to read the whole database: that's enough. In CVs hice reads skills, experience, contact details and photo.clients-old-crm.xlsxcolumns recognisedBusiness nameCompany nameVAT no.VAT numberTel.PhoneEmail (contact)Contact email - 3hice imports, without guessworkEvery row becomes a record. If a person is already there with the same email, you'll find them flagged as a duplicate. If a file isn't a CV or a column isn't clear, hice stops and tells you why, instead of saving the wrong data.Emma ClarkeCreatedMark BennettDuplicate: same emailscan-003.jpgSkipped: not a CV - 4Check, and undo if you need toAt the end you see what went in, what was a duplicate and what was skipped. If a file shouldn't have been imported, you undo it: hice removes what it had created, but not the records your team has already started using.contacts.vcfimported today214 contacts createdUndo this importRecords your team has already used stay where they are. ## With Hice AI or with your own AI model You choose who reads the files. The result in hice is the same: tidy records, duplicates flagged, nothing saved halfway. ### Hice AI It's included in the Business plan: nothing to connect and no usage costs to keep an eye on. ### Your own AI model Connect your ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or Mistral API key, whether it's the company's or your own. You pay for the migration directly to the model provider. Bulk migration isn't available on the free plan. There you add candidates one at a time from a CV, or save them from LinkedIn with the extension. ## What changes when you move to hice ### Your history comes with you. Candidates, companies and contacts from years of work go into hice, and your team can find them from day one. ### No silent duplicates. Anyone already there with the same email is flagged, not duplicated. You decide what to do about it. ### If something doesn't add up, you know. Every skipped file comes with its reason in writing. And if you upload a file and don't import it, you get a reminder by email the next day. ## What people ask us before migrating No. Bulk migration with AI is available on the Business and Enterprise plans. On the free plan you add candidates one at a time from a CV, or save them from LinkedIn with the extension.
