Migrate your Cegid Talent data
European talent management suite covering recruiting, learning, performance, and succession for mid-to-large enterprises. Built on legacy Technomedia and Talentsoft stacks that Cegid assembled through acquisitions.
In its favor
Why people choose Cegid Talent
The signal that keeps Cegid Talent on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
Full HCM suite under one vendor reduces procurement overhead for large European enterprises with multi-country payroll and talent needs.
Native integration between ATS, LMS, and compensation modules eliminates data re-entry between recruiting, onboarding, and performance cycles.
Organizational structure tree and succession planning tools support internal mobility for companies with defined career frameworks.
Business intelligence and analytics built into the suite provide workforce planning insights without requiring separate BI tooling.
Cegid's 130-country reach and compliance expertise makes it attractive to multinationals operating in regulated European markets.
Third-party integrations are sparse — users report that Cegid Talent does not connect natively to common tools they already use.
The e-learning and training module is described as heavy, slow, and lacking fluidity compared to dedicated LMS platforms.
No mobile application forces users to access the system through an intranet browser, with sessions that close if the tab is left idle.
Complex reporting is cited as non-intuitive and hard to navigate, limiting self-service analytics for HR teams.
Migration away is complicated by the dual-stack architecture — data lives in both the Talentsoft Hub and Hello Talent systems with separate exports.

What gets migrated
Cegid Talent object support
Object-by-object support for Cegid Talent migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Candidates
Mapping requiredCandidates are managed in the Hello Talent ATS module. The API exposes them via the Jobseeker endpoints under a Brand-scoped URL. We extract full candidate files including application status and custom fields, but vacancy-to-candidate associations require cross-referencing JobadId across two API surfaces.
Employees
Mapping requiredEmployee records live in the Talentsoft Hub Core HR module. The Hub API is separate from the Recruiting FrontOffice API and uses different authentication (APIKey on CegidLife portal vs client_id/secret on developer portal). We sequence both API calls and merge employee records with their recruiting history using the candidate ID as the join key.
JobAds (Vacancies)
Fully supportedJobAds are the published representation of a JobOffer. The JobadService API returns job ads by reference, description, properties, and location. One vacancy with multiple locations generates one JobAd per language-location combination. We preserve all language variants and location associations during export.
JobOffers
Fully supportedJobOffers aggregate the vacancy metadata before publication. The API references them by Brand and they carry customFields in camelCase. We export the full offer payload including all metadata properties and map them to the destination's equivalent job/posting object.
Training Courses (LMS)
Mapping requiredThe learning module manages a training catalog with course content, enrollment records, and completion tracking. We extract course metadata and training enrollment history, but SCORM content packages require separate file transfer and are not delivered via the REST API.
Performance Reviews
Mapping requiredPerformance review records include objectives, ratings, and review cycle data. The schema varies significantly between Talentsoft Hub tenants because the review template builder is highly customizable. We map standard fields (reviewer, reviewee, date, rating) and flag custom review sections for manual review.
Compensation Records
Mapping requiredCompensation data includes salary history, bonuses, and equity where configured. This module is often restricted by HRIS permissions and is not exposed on all API tiers. We request explicit permission scopes during the scoping call and flag any compensation records that fall outside the granted API scope.
Organizational Units
Fully supportedThe organizational tree structure is accessible via the Talentsoft Hub API. We export the full org hierarchy including department assignments and manager relationships. Org unit IDs are preserved as foreign keys so that employee assignments resolve correctly in the destination system.
Custom Fields
Mapping requiredBoth Hello Talent and Talentsoft Hub support user-defined fields stored in a CamposUtil-style extension object. These vary by tenant and by module. We extract the full custom field definitions from the schema before migrating data and create corresponding custom properties in the destination platform.
Documents
Not in this platformDocuments attached to employees, candidates, or training records are not accessible via the public Cegid Talent REST APIs. Document export requires either a separate file-level export from the Cegid admin portal or a Cegid Professional Services engagement. We do not include binary documents in the standard migration scope.
Brands (Career Site Configurations)
Mapping requiredA Brand is the configuration set that drives a Cegid career website and Jobboard URL. Brands are created in Recruiting Back Office by a Super Admin and include language settings and brand metadata. We export brand configurations to allow reconstruction of the career site structure in the destination ATS.
