Migrate your AgileATS data
Purpose-built ATS for government contractors with OFCCP compliance, clearance tracking, and GovCon-specific workflows. Small to mid-size teams in federal contracting are its core audience.
In its favor
Why people choose AgileATS
The signal that keeps AgileATS on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
Native OFCCP, DoL, and EEO reporting eliminates manual compliance work that most ATS platforms leave to spreadsheet exports and external auditors.
ClearanceJobs native integration lets recruiters push cleared candidates directly into AgileATS in one click, skipping copy-paste pipelines common in general-purpose ATS tools.
Tiered candidate storage (10k to 50k+) maps cleanly to real headcount budgets for small and mid-size government contractors without forcing enterprise pricing.
The Agile Recruiting framework enforces structured, audit-ready hiring workflows that satisfy government contract proposal requirements and DCAA audit expectations.
AWS-hosted candidate data with defined security protocols addresses GovCon security concerns that generic ATS platforms handle poorly or as an afterthought.
Per-seat pricing scales steeply once more than a handful of full recruiters are added, pushing total cost above comparable platforms with flat or unlimited-user tiers.
The platform is narrow in scope — teams outside government contracting find the GovCon-specific features irrelevant and feel they are paying for compliance tooling they never use.
Limited third-party integrations beyond ClearanceJobs means teams relying on background check vendors, HRIS platforms, or onboarding tools often need workarounds or custom API builds.
Customer support responsiveness is inconsistent, particularly on non-Enterprise tiers where response times for technical or data export questions can stretch across multiple business days.

What gets migrated
AgileATS object support
Object-by-object support for AgileATS migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Candidates
Fully supportedCandidates are the primary record type in AgileATS, holding profile data, contact info, status, and clearance level. We map Candidates 1:1 in most migrations; custom fields require field-level review before import to the destination.
Jobs
Fully supportedJobs represent open reqs with title, location, clearance requirements, and pipeline assignment. We preserve job associations to their source Candidates during migration and flag any job status changes needed post-import.
Pipeline Stages
Mapping requiredAgileATS uses a structured Agile Recruiting workflow with defined stages. Stage names and count vary by customer configuration, so we map each stage to a corresponding destination stage or create custom stage fields in the target system.
Offers
Fully supportedOffer records include compensation details, start dates, and status. We migrate offer data as a linked object under the candidate record, preserving the offer-to-candidate relationship throughout the import.
Custom Fields
Mapping requiredCustom fields are used heavily for clearance types, partner assignments, and EEO flagging. We extract all custom field definitions during scoping, map them to destination equivalents, and flag any that cannot be represented without a custom property.
Attachments
Mapping requiredAgileATS stores candidate attachments (resumes, certifications, background forms) in a separate file store. We export these alongside record data and re-attach them in the destination, noting any file type or size restrictions.
Compliance Reports
Mapping requiredOFCCP, DoL, and EEO reports are generated exports rather than structured data objects. We migrate the underlying data used to generate these reports so compliance can be reconstructed in the destination platform.
Users / Recruiters
Mapping requiredUser records include role, clearance level, and org assignment. User-to-candidate ownership must be remapped when migrating to a destination with a different user schema.
Partners / Subcontractors
Mapping requiredPartner users are tracked as a separate user class in AgileATS with distinct permissions and pricing. We preserve partner assignments on candidate records but flag them for review in the destination to ensure access controls are applied correctly.
Clearance Data
Mapping requiredSecurity clearance level and status are stored as structured fields on candidate records. We preserve clearance values explicitly and flag any candidates whose clearance status may have expired or requires re-verification in the destination system.
Notes and Activity History
Mapping requiredRecruiter notes and activity timestamps are exported from AgileATS and mapped to the destination's notes or activity log schema. Activity ordering is preserved where the destination supports it.
