HireTale is a Google Workspace add-on that turns an ordinary spreadsheet into a complete recruiting pipeline — resume parsing, candidate and interview tracking, a color-coded hiring funnel, and edit protection — without expensive software, new logins, or training. As the tagline puts it: the ATS that lives where you already work.
What HireTale gives you
A structured pipeline across three connected sheets: Candidates → Interviews → Selections. HireTale keeps everyone's live status rolled up so you always know where each person stands.
Resume parsing — upload a CV (12 file types, about 99% accuracy), and HireTale fills in the candidate's details for you.
A guided sidebar for adding candidates, advancing them through interviews, and seeing who needs attention today — all without hand-editing rows.
Full customization — your own roles, sources, statuses, interview rounds, and even custom columns, all in plain Google Sheets.
Edit protection so the structure and formulas can't be accidentally broken.
Unlimited collaborators — invite your whole team at no per-seat cost.
What makes HireTale different
It's your spreadsheet. No data migration, no separate database — your candidate data stays in your own Google Sheet, owned by you.
No AI ranking. HireTale helps you organize and track hiring. It does not score, rank, or auto-reject candidates. You stay in control — hire humanly.
Nothing to learn. If you can use a spreadsheet, you can use HireTale.
Who it's for
Freelancers and microbusinesses with a single recruiter
Early-stage startups and small businesses
Growing teams or small agencies
