Overview
Moving from Asanify to Bullhorn is an unusual but deliberate migration: Asanify is a full-lifecycle HRMS with payroll, attendance, performance reviews, and EOR capabilities, while Bullhorn is a recruiting ATS and CRM built for staffing agencies. The migration maps Asanify employees and contractors to Bullhorn Candidates and Contacts, preserving employment dates, department assignments, and contractor terms where Bullhorn fields exist. Asanify objects with no Bullhorn analog—payroll runs, payslips, leave balances, attendance logs, performance reviews, OKRs, and shift schedules—are flagged explicitly in the scope document because Bullhorn has no employee-relations or HRIS data model. We deliver a written inventory of these non-migratable objects and their record counts so the customer's admin can decide whether to retain Asanify for HRIS, export to a data warehouse, or accept the gap. Bullhorn's per-user pricing ($99-$315/user/month) plus add-ons (Automation, Analytics) represents a recurring cost shift from Asanify's per-person model.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Asanify object lands in Bullhorn ATS & CRM, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.
Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.
Asanify
Employee
Bullhorn ATS & CRM
Candidate
1:1Asanify Employee records map to Bullhorn Candidate. Core fields that transfer: firstName, lastName, personalEmail or workEmail as email, phone, dateOfJoining as dateAvailable, departmentName as currentTitle, and employmentStatus mapped to a CandidateStatus picklist value. Custom fields carry the original Asanify employee ID, employment type (full-time/part-time), and any EOR employer entity as a text field. Address data from Asanify maps to Candidate address fields. Bullhorn requires lastName, so any Asanify record without a last name is flagged for customer review before import.
Asanify
Org Structure (Department)
Bullhorn ATS & CRM
ClientCorporation
1:1Asanify department assignments on employees map to a Bullhorn ClientCorporation record representing the customer's internal organization if they operate as both an employer and a staffing firm. Department hierarchy (reporting lines) is preserved as a custom field parent_department__c rather than a native hierarchy object because Bullhorn ClientCorporation does not support nested corporate structures natively.
Asanify
Contractor Record
Bullhorn ATS & CRM
Candidate
1:1Asanify contractor records map to Bullhorn Candidate with employmentType set to Contract and contractor-specific fields (contractRate, contractStartDate, contractEndDate, currency) mapped to custom Candidate fields. Multi-currency contractor rate from Asanify ($18/contractor/month) is stored as a decimal custom field rather than a Bullhorn native currency field because Bullhorn's currency handling is US-dollar-based for staffing placements. The EOR flag on contractor records carries forward as a text field identifying the employer-of-record entity and country.
Asanify
EOR Employee Assignment
Bullhorn ATS & CRM
Candidate (custom fields)
lossyEOR records from Asanify preserve the employer-of-record entity and country of legal employment as custom fields on Bullhorn Candidate: eor_entity__c (text), eor_country__c (picklist), and eor_relationship__c (text description). Bullhorn has no native EOR concept, so the EOR relationship is metadata rather than a system-enforced employment entity. Compliance review is recommended before migrating EOR records to any non-EOR system because the legal employment relationship does not transfer—only the record does.
Asanify
Employment Document
Bullhorn ATS & CRM
Candidate (ContentDocument)
1:1Asanify employment documents (offer letter, NDA, ID copies) available on VIP and Enterprise tiers migrate as Bullhorn ContentDocument records linked via ContentDocumentLink to the Candidate. File types map to Bullhorn document categories. Documents are exported from Asanify as binary files and attached to the Candidate record during migration. Document count per employee is reported in the pre-migration inventory so the customer can decide whether to attach all documents or a subset.
Asanify
Salary Revision History
Bullhorn ATS & CRM
Candidate (custom fields)
lossySalary revision history is too granular for direct field mapping in Bullhorn. We export the most recent salary record (currentAnnualSalary, currency, effectiveDate) as custom Candidate fields. The full revision log is exported as a CSV and delivered alongside the migration for compliance audit or future payroll system integration. Bullhorn has no native payroll or compensation history object.
Asanify
Leave Balance
Bullhorn ATS & CRM
Not Migrated
1:1Leave balances are a leave-management concept with no Bullhorn equivalent. Bullhorn Candidate and Placement records do not include leave entitlement, accrual, or carry-forward fields. We export current leave balances as a CSV report keyed by employee ID and present it to the customer during pre-migration review. The customer decides whether to retain this in Asanify, import to a separate HR system, or accept the gap.
Asanify
Attendance Record
Bullhorn ATS & CRM
Not Migrated
1:1Geo-tracked attendance logs, punch timestamps, and biometric attendance records have no Bullhorn equivalent. Bullhorn's entity model covers recruiting (Candidate, JobOrder, Placement) but not HR operations. We export attendance records as a CSV for the customer's records. Geo-tracking data quality in Asanify is variable (sparse or approximate coordinates), which further limits migration utility even if a destination existed.
Asanify
Payroll Run and Payslip
Bullhorn ATS & CRM
Not Migrated
1:1Payslip records, TDS deductions, PF contributions, ESIC contributions, and net pay amounts are payroll data with no Bullhorn analog. Bullhorn Placement records hold the bill rate and pay rate for staffing placements but not payroll compliance fields. We export payslip summary data as a CSV for the customer's finance or payroll team. Statutory compliance records (TDS, PF, ESIC, professional tax) should remain in Asanify or a payroll-compliant destination.
Asanify
Performance Review
Bullhorn ATS & CRM
Not Migrated
1:1Performance management and 360-degree feedback are VIP-tier features in Asanify with no Bullhorn equivalent. Bullhorn Candidate has skills ratings and a limited scorecard model but not structured performance review cycles, ratings, or free-text feedback. VIP-tier Asanify accounts with active performance history receive a written inventory of review records by employee with cycle dates, ratings, and feedback text for manual re-entry or alternative HR system placement.
Asanify
OKR Goal
Bullhorn ATS & CRM
Not Migrated
1:1OKR-based goal tracking is a VIP-tier feature in Asanify. Bullhorn has no native OKR or goal management module. We export company-level and individual OKR records, key results, and progress percentages as a CSV. Customers moving to Bullhorn for ATS purposes typically retain goal tracking in a separate system (Lattice, 15Five, or a renewed Asanify contract) or accept the gap.
Asanify
KPI Tracker
Bullhorn ATS & CRM
Not Migrated
1:1KPI definitions and current values stored against employee records in Asanify VIP tier have no Bullhorn destination. Bullhorn Placement records hold bill rate, pay rate, and start/end dates but not employee performance KPIs. We export KPI definitions and values as a CSV keyed by employee ID. The customer chooses the destination for this data during scoping.
Asanify
Shift Schedule
Bullhorn ATS & CRM
Not Migrated
1:1Shift scheduling is a VIP-tier feature in Asanify. Bullhorn has no shift management or time-tracking module. We export shift definitions, assigned employees, and shift dates as a CSV for the customer's operations team. Shift-based staffing agencies using Asanify for internal workforce management retain this capability in Asanify or move it to a dedicated scheduling tool.
Asanify
Expense Reimbursement
Bullhorn ATS & CRM
Not Migrated
1:1Expense reimbursement workflows on VIP and Enterprise tiers have no Bullhorn equivalent. Bullhorn Placement and Candidate records do not include expense tracking. We export reimbursement records with amounts, categories, and approval status as a CSV. Pending reimbursements at migration time require explicit resolution (approve or reject) before the Asanify cutover to prevent orphaned requests.

Migration approach
Discovery and record inventory
We audit the Asanify account across all objects: employee records (with EOR flag count), contractor records, org structure, leave balances, attendance volumes, payroll run history, performance review records, OKR records, and pending reimbursements. We produce a row-count inventory by object and a Bullhorn destination mapping matrix. This inventory is the basis for the written scope and pricing. We also confirm the Asanify plan tier (Essential/VIP/Enterprise) because document storage, performance management, and shift scheduling are tier-gated.
Bullhorn schema design and custom field provisioning
We design the Bullhorn destination schema: Candidate custom fields for employment type, EOR entity, EOR country, contractor rate, currency, and current annual salary. Bullhorn Support is engaged to create any required custom objects before the migration run. We map Asanify departments to ClientCorporation records. All field types are confirmed against Bullhorn's REST API field metadata before the first import.
Sandbox migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into a Bullhorn Sandbox (or the production org with a test batch of 50 records first) to validate field mapping, character limits, required field satisfaction (lastName, email), and lookup resolution. The customer's Bullhorn admin reconciles record counts and spot-checks 20-30 records against Asanify source data. Schema corrections happen in the sandbox, not production.
EOR and compliance flagging
We apply EOR entity, country, and relationship labels to every Candidate record sourced from an Asanify EOR employee. The employer-of-record entity is stored as a text field on the Candidate. We deliver a separate EOR inventory report listing every EOR employee, the Asanify employer entity name, country of legal employment, and the original Asanify employee ID. A compliance review handoff document recommends review of each country's employment laws before Bullhorn becomes the system of record.
Production migration in dependency order
We migrate in this order: ClientCorporation (departments), Candidate (employees and contractors with custom fields), then ContentDocument attachments for employment documents. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report. We use the Bullhorn REST API with exponential backoff on rate limits. After each phase, the customer's Bullhorn admin reviews and approves before the next phase begins. Delta records modified during the migration window are re-exported from Asanify before cutover.
Non-migratable object handoff and cutover
We freeze Asanify write access during cutover, run the final delta export, and deliver the full CSV package for all non-migratable objects (leave balances, attendance logs, payroll runs, payslips, performance reviews, OKRs, KPI trackers, shift schedules, expense reimbursements). We deliver a written inventory document listing every object that was not migrated, the record count, and the recommended next step (retain in Asanify, export to data warehouse, re-enter manually). Bullhorn is enabled as the system of record. We support a five-business-day hypercare window for reconciliation issues.
