How to import companies into Hunter
You can import multiple companies into Hunter Leads using the Import companies feature in Leads. This allows you to upload a CSV or TXT file and organize companies into specific Company lists.
This guide explains how to upload your file, map fields, and control how existing companies are handled.
Before you start
Make sure your file:
Is in CSV or TXT format
Uses comma (,) or semicolon (;) delimiters
Includes at least one company identifier per row (for example, company name or domain)
You can also add a single company manually using + New company.
💡 Your imported companies will automatically be enriched with all available data points, including industry, social media profiles, location, and more.
Step-by-step guide to import a list of companies
Step 1: Upload your file
Go to Leads → Company lists.
Click + Import companies.
To add just one company, click + New company instead.
Upload your CSV or TXT file containing company names or domains.
Step 2: Map your columns
Click Next.
Match each column in your file to the appropriate Hunter company attribute.
If your file includes column headers, enable Headers in first row.
Mapping your columns correctly ensures company data is stored in the right fields.

In this step, you decide where the companies will be added and how duplicates are handled.
