Add Records in Bulk

When you have a list of people or companies to add, you don’t have to create each record by hand. Amplify can prepare up to 25 candidates, client contacts, or client companies in one request. It shows you a preview of every record, and nothing is added until you approve.

What You Can Do

  • Create several records at once from a list, a document, or earlier research.

  • Check for duplicates first, so only missing records are created.

  • Choose the status the new records should have.

  • Add a new company and then associate a new contact with it, in the same conversation.

Example Prompts

  • “Add records for all of those companies in Bullhorn. Check for duplicates first.”

What You Can Do

  • Add a separate note for each finalist from summaries you’ve already generated.

  • Create follow-up tasks for several candidates or contacts at once.

  • Update several records with information from your notes, such as availability dates.

Example Prompts

  • “Prepare three separate screening notes, one for each finalist, using the summaries above.”

  • “Create a separate follow-up task for each finalist to confirm their interview availability next Tuesday.”

  • “Update these candidates with their individual availability dates from the screening summaries above.”
