Expertini Cloud

Your ATS's built-in cloud storage — CVs and client files in smart AI-tagged folders. Private to your organisation, never public, with one-click sync to your own Drive, OneDrive, or Dropbox.

2 min read · Updated July 2026 · Expertini Editorial

Expertini Cloud is the file home built into your ATS: candidate CVs, client paperwork, briefs, signed documents — whatever your team files against its work — kept in organised cloud storage that's part of the same platform doing the screening. No separate file-storage subscription, no scattered desktop folders.

It is storage, not a public drive. Every file is scoped to your organisation and served only to signed-in members of it; a request for a file belonging to another organisation is refused outright, and nothing in Expertini Cloud is ever reachable from the open web.

Files arrive organised, not dumped: bulk imports are sorted into smart, AI-tagged folders by inferred role or skill category, storage scales with your plan tier, and everything stays exportable — a click syncs any folder to your own Google Drive, OneDrive, or Dropbox account, so your files are never locked in.

Watch the 30-second overview — no sign-up needed

01What it does

Gives your organisation private cloud storage inside the ATS for any document your team works with — candidate CVs, client contracts, role briefs — uploaded in bulk or one at a time, automatically grouped into AI-tagged folders by inferred skill or role category, searchable immediately, and syncable on demand to your own connected cloud drive.

02Who it's for

Any hiring team that handles files — from a recruiter drop-importing a career-fair CV pile to an agency keeping each client's paperwork alongside the roles it is filling — and wants them stored, organised, and backed up in one place the whole team can reach and nobody outside it can.

03What makes this different

Storage that understands recruiting: folders organise themselves by role and skill at import time, files attach to real candidate records rather than floating loose, and the one-click sync to Google Drive, OneDrive, or Dropbox means your copy of every file lives in *your* cloud account too — portability is built in, not an export request.

04Why it matters

Candidate files scattered across inboxes and desktops are a compliance risk and a time sink. Keeping them in the same platform that scores and tracks the candidates — organised automatically, with storage that grows as your plan does — turns file handling from housekeeping into something you never think about.

05Pricing and what's included

Included on every plan, including the free 14-day Trial — your Expertini Cloud storage allowance scales with your tier: 5 MB on Trial, 10 MB Starter, 50 MB Growth, 250 MB Professional, 1 GB Business, and 2 GB Enterprise.

06Support

The Help Center covers folder tagging, storage limits, and cloud sync; support@expertini.com is available for anything else.

Engineering notes

Platform architecture & operations

A1Architecture: where it sits in the platform

Expertini Cloud is a first-class module of the Pipeline & Client Management suite inside the authenticated Expertini ATS workspace. The platform is deliberately server-rendered: every view is prepared by the application server and shipped as complete HTML, with no client-side framework, no third-party CDN scripts, and no build pipeline between the data and the page. What renders is what the server computed — the property that makes the interface auditable.

All persistence runs on a single search-native document store; every query carries the organisation's identifier as a mandatory filter at the lowest query layer. Tenant isolation is therefore structural — a property of how every request is composed — rather than a policy that relies on application code remembering to check.

Availability is governed by the platform's tool registry: this tool is registered from the Trial plan, and access is enforced server-side by the registry gate on every request — never by hiding a button. Plans also carry a monthly distinct-tool quota (3 / 5 / 15 / 30 / 45 across Trial→Business, unlimited on Enterprise), counted at the same chokepoint. The pricing page states both honestly: what is available, and how much of it the month includes.

A2Data model and dependency map

In production the tool reads and writes the candidate database (ats_candidates). Documents are plain, explicitly-mapped fields — mappings are provisioned ahead of first write, so term filters and aggregations behave deterministically instead of depending on inferred types.

Every distinct open is journalled to the tool-activity store — and that journal, not a parallel analytics system, is what the Reports section aggregates. The usage numbers you see are the numbers the platform actually recorded.

Anything that leaves the request path — notification fan-out, webhook delivery, activity journalling, mail — runs in fire-and-forget background threads. A slow external endpoint can never make the interface hang, and a failed side effect is logged rather than silently retried into inconsistency.

A3Operational considerations

Organisation-level settings, destructive actions, and connections are gated to owner and admin roles; recruiters operate the tool on the records they can see. Role changes apply on the next request — enforcement is at the route, not in the menu.

Failures are surfaced, not swallowed: server-side validation returns the exact field and reason, vendor errors are quoted verbatim where integrations are involved, and every write either confirms or reports. Exports regenerate on request rather than being cached — a report you download reflects the store at the moment you asked, not last night's snapshot.

Everything written is yours to take: CSV exports and the Data Export app cover the same stores the product itself reads. The exit is as open as the entrance — by design, not concession.

A4Interaction contract

The interface follows the platform's search-and-select convention: any field that names a real record — a candidate, client, or job — is a type-to-search picker over live data, never a free-typed string, which is what keeps activity trails and deduplication trustworthy. Static choices are filter-as-you-type combos rather than native dropdowns, and state transitions give explicit feedback: server confirmations surface as toasts, validation errors name the exact field, and nothing is shown as done that the server has not confirmed.

The wireframe and flow below document the structural contract of the surface — what panels exist, what order the states occur in, and what happens at every edge — rather than pixels. The layout is composed with native CSS grid and flexbox and adapts from wide desktop to a single column without separate mobile views.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to manually sort files into folders?
No — folders are generated automatically based on inferred skill and role category at import time; you can also create and arrange folders yourself.
Can I get my files out?
Always — any folder syncs on demand to your own connected Google Drive, OneDrive, or Dropbox account, landing in a clean "Expertini ATS/Expertini Cloud" folder, and the Data Export app covers the rest of your account.
Does this work with Resume Parsing imports?
Yes — it's commonly used together with Resume Parsing: bulk-imported CVs are parsed into candidate records while the files themselves land organised in Expertini Cloud.
What plan includes Expertini Cloud?
Every plan, including the free 14-day Trial — what scales by tier is the storage allowance (5 MB Trial, 25 MB Basic, 50 MB Pro, 100 MB Enterprise).
