Migrate your ChartHop data
Visual-first HRMS platform that turns employee data into living org charts, headcount scenarios, and compensation cycles. Most customers use it as the strategic layer sitting above their existing payroll and ATS.
In its favor
Why people choose ChartHop
The signal that keeps ChartHop on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
Visual org chart with real-time data reduces the time spent answering basic organizational questions and planning reorgs, replacing fragmented spreadsheets with a single trusted view.
Modular headcount planning lets HR and Finance model create, update, terminate, promote, and budget scenarios with live budget impact calculations before approving changes.
AI-assisted insights (Ask ChartHop) surface patterns in workforce data without requiring analysts to build custom reports from scratch.
No mandatory payroll switch required — the platform pulls payroll data from existing providers like ADP or Gusto, making adoption lower risk for mid-market teams already on established payroll stacks.
Consolidation story appeals to HR teams managing multiple tools; ChartHop positions itself as the single people operations platform rather than a point solution.
Integration depth with payroll and ATS systems is inconsistent; some teams report that data syncs require manual reconciliation or additional middleware.
Limited customization compared to enterprise HR suites; organizations with complex workflows or unique data models find ChartHop too opinionated.
Technical stability concerns include occasional data staleness, crashes, and site instability reported in user reviews.
Steep learning curve for advanced features like custom scenario types and approval workflows; initial admin configuration is required before teams can use the platform fully.
Custom field proliferation without governance leads to cluttered data sheets and confusing reporting views over time.

What gets migrated
ChartHop object support
Object-by-object support for ChartHop migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
People (Employees)
Fully supportedThe primary employee record in ChartHop includes profile data, compensation fields, reporting relationships, and time-off balances. We map all standard fields 1:1; custom fields require field-level mapping against the destination schema. Sensitive compensation fields may be gated by user access roles.
Jobs (Positions)
Fully supportedJobs represent open or filled positions with title, department, level, and compensation band. We preserve job-to-person associations during migration. Job status (active, closed, on-hold) maps directly to the destination's equivalent status field.
Departments
Fully supportedChartHop organizes employees by department hierarchy. We reconstruct the department tree as a flat list of department records plus parent-child relationships. Matrix team affiliations are handled as secondary assignments separate from the primary reporting structure.
Org Chart
Mapping requiredThe org chart is a rendered view of People and Jobs with reporting lines. We export the underlying data (people, jobs, managers) rather than the visual layout. Matrix reporting relationships require supplemental mapping since most destination CRMs only support single-manager hierarchies.
Custom Fields
Mapping requiredChartHop supports extensive custom fields across multiple data types (text, date, multiple choice, yes/no, calculated). We export field definitions alongside values. Field-level access controls are not migrated; they must be reconfigured at the destination.
Headcount Planning Scenarios
Not in this platformHeadcount planning scenarios are sandboxed planning objects that model hypothetical changes before approval. ChartHop does not expose these via public API, and the scenario data is tightly coupled to ChartHop's planning workflow engine. We do not migrate scenarios; instead we flag the existence of active scenarios so the customer can re-create them manually or document them as reference.
Compensation Data
Mapping requiredChartHop tracks base compensation, cash compensation, variable pay, equity, and total compensation. These fields are organized into built-in categories (Compensation Bands, Base Comp, etc.). We export values as of the migration snapshot date. Historical compensation changes may exist as time-stamped field history that requires a separate export pass.
Performance Reviews
Mapping requiredPerformance review cycles, review forms, and submitted responses are stored in ChartHop's Performance module. We export review records and responses; however, review templates with custom question types may require field-level mapping and validation against the destination's performance module schema.
Goals
Mapping requiredChartHop's Goals module stores company, team, and individual objectives with progress tracking. Goals are linked to live people data. We export goal hierarchies and progress values; cascading goal dependencies require manual validation at the destination since not all platforms support hierarchical goal trees.
Engagement Survey Results
Mapping requiredEngagement survey responses and aggregate results are stored in ChartHop. We export anonymized response data where available. Survey metadata (question text, benchmarks, participation rates) is preserved. Individual-level responses are subject to the destination's privacy settings.
Documents and Files
Mapping requiredChartHop supports file uploads per employee profile with file type categorization (miscellaneous or field-linked). We export files via ChartHop's file export mechanism. All files must be under 100MB; larger files require chunking. File access controls are not migrated and must be reconfigured at the destination.
Time Off and PTO Balances
Mapping requiredChartHop tracks PTO balances, accrual policies, and time-off requests. We export current balances as of the migration snapshot. Historical accrual logs are available but require a separate export pass. Next-year and multi-year accrual policies need policy-level mapping at the destination.
Matrix Teams
Mapping requiredChartHop's Matrix Teams feature models cross-functional collaboration where employees report to multiple leaders. This is a non-standard structure in most destination CRMs. We export matrix assignments as a supplemental table linked to the primary People record; the destination must support multi-manager assignments or handle these as a custom relationship object.
ATS Requisitions (Jobvite Integration)
Mapping requiredJobvite requisitions sync with ChartHop Jobs. We export job requisition data including status and candidate associations. Internal transfers are not supported in the ChartHop-to-Jobvite sync and must be handled manually. Hiring manager and recruiter accounts must match by email across both systems.
