Migrate your Beamery data
AI-powered talent CRM built for global enterprises to manage skills-based pipelines, proactive sourcing, and workforce transformation at scale.
In its favor
Why people choose Beamery
The signal that keeps Beamery on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
Skills-first sourcing model lets enterprise TA teams shift from reactive requisition filling to proactive, long-term talent pipeline building, validated across G2 reviews from enterprise recruiters.
Talent pools are easy to create, populate, and maintain, allowing teams to nurture passive candidates over months or years without starting outreach from scratch each hiring cycle.
AI-driven candidate matching and skills taxonomy capabilities continue improving, with users noting analytics and sourcing insights get smarter with each product update.
Automation Recipes streamline repetitive recruiter workflows — assigning candidates, adding them to pools, triggering campaigns — without requiring developer intervention.
End-user friendly design reduces training time; multiple G2 reviewers describe the interface as intuitive for sourcing and communicating with candidates in a few clicks.
Feature breadth creates a steep learning curve; new users report the platform feels overwhelming with too many options before they develop muscle memory.
Reporting and analytics dashboards are functional but lack depth — users say customisation options are limited and extracting specific pipeline ROI reports requires effort.
The Chrome Extension for sourcing is described as buggy by multiple reviewers, with candidate duplication occurring when the extension syncs data back to the platform.
Job board integrations are narrower than competitors; teams with diverse sourcing channels report gaps in supported posting destinations.
Mid-market teams on limited budgets note the enterprise pricing and total cost of ownership is significantly higher than alternatives like Gem or Humanly.

What gets migrated
Beamery object support
Object-by-object support for Beamery migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Contacts (Candidates)
Fully supportedContacts are the core record in Beamery. We export all standard fields plus custom fields, skills tags, and engagement history. Multi-value fields use semicolon delimiters in Beamery exports and we re-encode them correctly at import.
Talent Pools
Fully supportedPools are named collections of Contacts grouped for ongoing engagement. We preserve pool membership and membership dates, mapping them to equivalent groups in the destination ATS or CRM.
Vacancies
Mapping requiredVacancies are job requisitions that reference a stage pipeline. We export vacancy metadata and linked candidates, but stage names and pipeline structure vary by tenant and require manual mapping in the destination.
Campaigns
Fully supportedCampaigns are outbound engagement sequences. We export campaign membership, send dates, and engagement events. The recipe or automation logic driving the campaign is documented separately as Recipes do not carry across platforms.
Convert Flows
Mapping requiredConvert Flows are forms that create Contacts. We preserve submitted field data and conversion timestamps. The flow configuration itself is not portable and must be rebuilt in the destination.
Skills
Mapping requiredSkills are tags or taxonomy entries attached to Contacts. Beamery's skills taxonomy is customer-defined. We export all assigned skills as flat text tags and map them to the destination's skills library or fall back to tag-based storage.
Users / Team Members
Mapping requiredUsers are the recruiters and sourcers in the system. We export user IDs, names, roles, and ownership assignments. Role names and permission levels differ between platforms so mapping is done on a per-tenant basis.
Attachments
Mapping requiredBinary attachments (resumes, portfolio files) are stored references in Beamery. We export the file URL and metadata. Actual file retrieval depends on whether the storage is accessible via API or requires a separate download step.
Tags
Fully supportedTags are flat label fields applied to Contacts. We export and re-apply them as tags in the destination, preserving one-to-one label mapping.
Custom Fields
Mapping requiredCustom fields are supported on Contacts and other objects. We discover the field schema via the API before export and apply value mapping at migration time. Multi-select custom fields use semicolon delimiters in the import template.
Activities / Engagements
Mapping requiredEngagement events (emails sent, page views, notes) are timestamped activities linked to Contacts. We export them as a separate activity log and link them back to the corresponding Contact record in the destination.
Pages (Career Sites)
Not in this platformPages are hosted career site configurations. These are not data records but CMS-style configurations that cannot be exported as structured data. We document page URL mappings and advise rebuilding the destination career site separately.
Recipes (Automation Workflows)
Not in this platformRecipes are event-driven automation rules within Beamery. They reference object IDs and trigger logic that are not portable across platforms. We document the active recipe configuration as-is for manual rebuild in the destination.
