Overview

What this migration involves

Easy Tech and BambooHR both store core HR objects (employees, jobs, departments, time-off), but they diverge significantly in how they represent employment relationships, handle compensation data, and expose custom fields. BambooHR consolidates employment data under a single Employee record with tabbed sections, while Easy Tech often distributes employment attributes across separate linked objects. Our migration engine reads Easy Tech's API or export format, applies a transformation layer that reconciles field names and data types, then writes directly to BambooHR via its REST API. We preserve original hire dates as a custom field since BambooHR sets CreatedDate at import time. Compensation data requires flattening Easy Tech's pay structure into BambooHR's payRate and payType fields. Custom fields migrate as BambooHR custom fields — provided they use supported types (text, number, date, dropdown). We surface workflows, approval chains, and automation rules as exportable documentation for your BambooHR admin to rebuild in BambooHR's workflow builder.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

Easy Tech logo

Easy Tech

What's pushing teams away

  • Customers report that Easy Tech lacks advanced HR features such as performance management, compensation planning, or compliance reporting needed as companies scale.
  • The platform's limited integration ecosystem makes it difficult to connect with payroll providers, benefits carriers, or enterprise identity systems.
  • Support responsiveness and product roadmap visibility are cited as concerns, with customers noting the platform does not appear actively developed.

Choosing

BambooHR logo

BambooHR

What's pulling them in

  • Lowest friction entry point for SMBs moving off spreadsheets — intuitive interface means most teams are functional within days, not weeks.
  • Consolidation value: BambooHR merges ATS, onboarding, HR records, time-off, and payroll into a single pane of glass that employees never need to leave.
  • Volume discounts applied automatically by headcount, so pricing scales predictably as the company grows without renewal negotiations.
  • BambooHR reports most customers go live in four to six weeks, making it a realistic commitment for under-resourced HR teams.
  • Award-winning Support Heroes cited frequently in reviews — responsive human support after implementation is a differentiator.

Object mapping

How Easy Tech objects map to BambooHR

Each row shows how a Easy Tech object lands in BambooHR, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.

Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.

Easy Tech

Employee

maps to

BambooHR

Employee

1:1
Fully supported

Core employee record maps directly to BambooHR's Employee object. We preserve Easy Tech's employee ID as a custom field (EmployeeID__c) for traceability. Personal information fields map field-by-field to BambooHR's standard fields and custom fields where no native equivalent exists. During migration we also validate data completeness and flag any missing required fields before writing to BambooHR.

Easy Tech

Employee Personal Info

maps to

BambooHR

Employee

many:1
Fully supported

If Easy Tech stores name components, address, and contact details in a separate linked object, we merge these into BambooHR's Employee record before writing. Name fields (firstName, lastName) map directly; address fields merge into BambooHR's addressLine fields. We also ensure country-specific address formats are normalized to match BambooHR's expected field structure, and any missing phone numbers are flagged for manual review.

Easy Tech

Employment Record

maps to

BambooHR

Employee (work tab)

many:1
Fully supported

Easy Tech's employment record (job title, hire date, department, employment type) maps to BambooHR's Employee work tab. We flatten the relationship so job title becomes the jobTitle field, hireDate maps to hireDate, and employment type maps to employmentHistoryStatus. If the employment record includes a start date for each job change, we store the most recent start date as the official hireDate and flag prior job history for reference.

Easy Tech

Job History

maps to

BambooHR

Custom Field on Employee

1:1
Fully supported

If Easy Tech maintains a history of job title changes or department transfers, we cannot preserve the full audit trail natively in BambooHR. We migrate the most recent job title as the current jobTitle and store the history as a custom field (Job_History_JSON__c) for reference.

Easy Tech

Compensation / Pay Record

maps to

BambooHR

Employee (payRate, payType)

1:1
Fully supported

Easy Tech's compensation record may contain payRate, payFrequency, and payType in separate fields. We flatten these into BambooHR's payRate and payType fields. Hourly rates, salaried amounts, and contractor rates require value mapping from Easy Tech's codes to BambooHR's payType enumeration.

Easy Tech

Department / Location

maps to

BambooHR

Location or Custom Field

1:1
Fully supported

BambooHR's native location field stores physical work locations. If Easy Tech uses departments as organizational units rather than physical locations, we create a custom Department__c field and map Easy Tech department names to that field. BambooHR's Locations feature can be used as a secondary structure if your team sets it up.

Easy Tech

Time-Off Balances

maps to

BambooHR

Time-Off Accruals

1:1
Fully supported

Easy Tech's PTO or time-off balance records map to BambooHR's Time-Off tracking. We read accrued hours, used hours, and balance for each policy type and create corresponding accrual records in BambooHR. Note that BambooHR manages accruals through its policy engine — we create the opening balances and your admin configures accrual rules.

Easy Tech

Employee Custom Fields

maps to

BambooHR

BambooHR Custom Fields

1:1
Fully supported

Easy Tech custom fields migrate to BambooHR custom fields. BambooHR supports text, number, date, and dropdown field types. Multi-select or complex custom fields in Easy Tech require an alternative handling strategy — we discuss this with your admin before migration and document any fields that cannot map natively.

Easy Tech

Documents / Attachments

maps to

BambooHR

Files on Employee Record

1:1
Fully supported

Employee documents attached to records in Easy Tech (offer letters, certifications, resume) re-upload to BambooHR's Files section on the Employee record. We preserve file names and original upload dates. BambooHR's 25MB per-file limit applies. If a file exceeds the 25MB limit, we split it into smaller parts or notify the admin to reduce file size before migration.

Easy Tech

Workflows / Approvals

maps to

BambooHR

N/A

1:1
Fully supported

Easy Tech workflows, approval chains, and automation rules do not migrate. They must be rebuilt in BambooHR's workflow builder or documented manually. We export Easy Tech workflow definitions as a reference document so your BambooHR admin can recreate them. The exported document includes each step's conditions, assigned users, and any escalation paths. This serves as a step‑by‑step guide for rebuilding the logic in BambooHR.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Custom field type restrictions may block some Easy Tech fields

    BambooHR supports a limited set of custom field types: text, number, date, and dropdown. Easy Tech custom fields that use multi-select, checkbox arrays, or calculated formulas cannot map directly. We audit your Easy Tech custom fields before migration and surface each incompatible field with a recommended handling approach — usually a text representation or manual post-migration entry. If a field cannot be converted, we may store its values in a JSON string or separate lookup table for reference. We will document each blocked field in the migration readiness report and propose a remediation plan before the cutover run.

  • Department-as-organizational-unit requires custom field strategy

    BambooHR's native Location field is designed for physical work sites, not organizational hierarchies. If Easy Tech uses departments as organizational units that differ from physical locations, you need a Department__c custom field. We create this field and map department names from Easy Tech, but your admin must decide whether to populate BambooHR's Locations feature as a secondary structure or rely solely on the custom field for reporting. Additionally, if you plan to use BambooHR's reporting by location, ensure the Locations list matches your physical offices.

  • Original hire date cannot replace BambooHR's hireDate field

    BambooHR sets the hireDate field at the time a record is created in the system. We cannot backdate hireDate through the API. If an employee was hired in Easy Tech three years ago, their BambooHR hireDate will reflect the migration import date. We preserve the original Easy Tech hire date as a custom field (Original_Hire_Date__c) and recommend using this for tenure calculations in BambooHR reports until BambooHR natively supports historical hire dates.

  • Multi-select custom fields in Easy Tech have no BambooHR equivalent

    Easy Tech may store employee attributes as multi-select fields (for example, a list of certifications or languages spoken). BambooHR's custom field model does not support multi-select — each selection becomes a separate custom field or is concatenated into a text field. We discuss the preferred approach with your admin before migration and apply it consistently across affected records. If certifications are numerous, we may create a separate Certifications custom field for each type or store them in a JSON-encoded field for reference. This decision is documented in the migration readiness report.

  • Time-off accrual rules must be recreated in BambooHR post-migration

    BambooHR manages time-off through its policy engine, which defines accrual rates and carryover rules. We transfer current PTO balances as opening balances, but BambooHR accrual rules (such as 'accrue 10 hours per month' or 'carry over 40 hours max') must be configured in BambooHR's Time-Off settings after migration. Your admin should configure policies before the go-live date to ensure accurate accruals continue. If your organization has multiple accrual tiers or tenure‑based rate changes, those tier definitions must also be entered in BambooHR's policy builder.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful Easy Tech to BambooHR data migration

  1. Audit Easy Tech API schema and custom field inventory

    We connect to Easy Tech via API or request a full data export. Our migration engine inventories every standard field, custom field, related object, and attachment. We flag API rate limits, unsupported field types, and missing required fields. This step produces a migration readiness report that your Easy Tech admin reviews before we proceed — it typically takes 1–2 business days depending on export complexity.

  2. Create BambooHR custom fields and configure Locations

    Your BambooHR admin (or our team acting on your behalf) creates the custom fields identified during the audit. We provide a field creation checklist that maps each Easy Tech custom field to its BambooHR equivalent, specifies type (text, number, dropdown), and sets required/optional status. If your organization uses departments as organizational units, we configure the Department__c custom field and discuss whether Locations should also be populated.

  3. Build and validate field mapping with a sample migration

    We run a sample migration using 50–100 employee records — a representative slice that includes full-time, part-time, contractors, and terminated employees. We generate a field-level diff showing every field value in Easy Tech alongside its mapped value in BambooHR. You review the diff and confirm field mapping logic. Compensation mapping, department mapping, and custom field handling are validated at this stage before any records are committed.

  4. Execute full migration with delta-pickup and audit log

    The full migration writes all employee records to BambooHR via the API. A 24–48 hour delta-pickup window captures any records modified in Easy Tech during the cutover. Every write operation is logged with source record ID, destination record ID, field values, and timestamp. We deliver an audit log showing total records migrated, records skipped (with reasons), and any field-level errors. One-click rollback is available if reconciliation reveals data integrity issues.

  5. Reconcile and export workflow documentation for rebuild

    After migration, we run a reconciliation report comparing record counts and field completeness between Easy Tech and BambooHR. We also export Easy Tech workflow definitions, approval chains, and automation rules as a structured document. Your BambooHR admin uses this document to rebuild workflows in BambooHR's workflow builder. We do not migrate automation logic — this step is a manual rebuild, and we provide the reference materials to support it.

BambooHR

Destination

Strengths

  • Single platform consolidating ATS, onboarding, HR records, payroll, and time-off reduces system sprawl for SMBs.
  • Fast implementation — BambooHR reports four to six weeks from kickoff to go-live for most customers.
  • Per-employee pricing with automatic volume discounts makes cost predictable as headcount grows.
  • Strong customer support reputation (Support Heroes) cited consistently across G2, Capterra, and direct testimonials.
  • Well-documented API with UTF-8 encoding, clear field types, and HTTPS-only access.

Weaknesses

  • Mobile application is significantly limited compared to the desktop experience, frustrating remote and field workers.
  • Companies above 150–200 employees frequently outgrow the platform's feature depth and customization surface.
  • Limited advanced reporting and analytics compared to enterprise HR platforms — custom report building is the ceiling.
  • PTO and profile customization are pain points — non-standard accrual policies and complex org structures require workarounds.
  • Document management and attachment handling lack the granularity of dedicated document-centric HR systems.

Most Easy Tech to BambooHR migrations complete within 48–72 hours for datasets under 2,000 employee records. Larger organizations with 10,000+ records or extensive custom field configurations extend to 7–10 days. The longest phase is typically the custom field audit and mapping validation — resolving unsupported field types before migration prevents re‑runs that would extend the timeline. During this period we also run a delta‑pickup window to capture any new or updated records created in Easy Tech after the initial export. After the sample migration diff is reviewed and any adjustments are made, the final cut‑over proceeds with a complete data write and post‑migration reconciliation.
