Although you usually add new people to your ChartHop organization through integrations, you can add a person manually if needed. To do this, you create an open job and then fill it with a new hire. 

If you aren't using integrations and want to add multiple people at once, you can upload a spreadsheet. [Learn more](https://docs.charthop.com/add-new-people-to-charthop).

:::hint{type="warning"}
Note that you can’t set a person’s start date before their job’s creation date. If you need to do so, first change the job creation date. [Learn more](https://docs.charthop.com/undo-job-changes).

   2. **Compensation** - Compensation information including salary and bonus.
   3. **Recruiting** - Recruiting information including hiring status and target start date.
