Edit job titles in bulk (Admin)

Use this process to review and correct job titles for all employees at once. After re-importing the CSV, changes appear immediately in 15Five profiles.

Before You Begin

  • You must have account admin access.
  • If your company uses SCIM to manage job titles, this process is unavailable. Make all job title changes in your SCIM provider instead.
  • Job descriptions and responsibilities uploaded to 15Five are matched to employees by job title. Ensure job titles are exact — no extra spaces, symbols, commas, or words — before uploading.

Steps

  1. Click the Settings gear in the bottom-left corner of 15Five.
  2. Select People from the dropdown menu.
  3. Click Export to download a CSV of all 15Five profiles.
  4. Open the exported CSV file.
  5. Locate the job_title column.
  6. Review each row and correct any inaccurate job titles directly in the job_title column.
  7. Save the file in Unicode (UTF-8) format.
  8. Return to Settings and select People.
  9. Click Import and upload the saved CSV file.

If Something Goes Wrong
