Overview

What this migration involves

Easy Tech and Bullhorn both manage recruitment workflows, but their data models diverge significantly at the object level. Easy Tech typically structures data around candidates, clients, jobs, and placements using custom fields to accommodate agency-specific terminology. Bullhorn uses a Candidate object as the primary record for talent, a ClientCorporation object for hiring companies, a JobOrder object for job postings, and a Placement object for confirmed placements. The migration carries all standard record types — candidates with employment history and status, client corporations with contacts and locations, job orders with requirements and assigned recruiters, and placement records with compensation details. Bullhorn's separate Work Experience and Candidate Education objects capture candidate background in a normalized structure. Custom fields from Easy Tech migrate as Bullhorn custom candidate fields or client corporation fields depending on their scope. Workflows, automation sequences, and email templates do not migrate — Bullhorn Automation (formerly Herefish) must be configured separately. FlitStack AI sequences the migration by resolving owner email matches against Bullhorn users, migrating client corporations first, then candidates, then job orders, then placements. A delta-pickup window captures any in-flight changes during cutover.

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

Bullhorn ATS & CRM logo

Bullhorn ATS & CRM

What's pulling them in

  • Agencies choose Bullhorn because it combines ATS and CRM in one platform, eliminating the need to switch between separate tools for candidate management and client relationship tracking.
  • The resume parser extracts contact details, work history, and skills into structured, searchable candidate profiles automatically without manual data entry, reportedly driving 24% more placements per recruiter.
  • Bullhorn's placement and split-billing model natively supports contract staffing workflows, handling start/end dates, overtime rules, and multi-party pay/charge rates in a single record.
  • The platform offers extensive third-party integrations through its Recruitment Cloud Marketplace, connecting with back-office, onboarding, and payroll systems used by staffing agencies.
  • 72% of Bullhorn customers are teams with fewer than 10 users, and Bullhorn's implementation team handles setup and data migration for small agencies going live within weeks.

Object mapping

How Easy Tech objects map to Bullhorn ATS & CRM

Each row shows how a Easy Tech 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.

Easy Tech

Candidate

maps to

Bullhorn ATS & CRM

Candidate

1:1
Fully supported

Easy Tech candidate records map directly to Bullhorn's Candidate object. Bullhorn Candidate stores name, email, phone, address, employment history, education, skills, and status. Employment history migrates to Bullhorn's separate WorkExperience child object; education to CandidateEducation. Original create dates preserved as a custom field since Bullhorn's native CreatedDate reflects migration timestamp.

Easy Tech

Candidate Status

maps to

Bullhorn ATS & CRM

Candidate.status

1:1
Fully supported

Easy Tech candidate status values (Active, Passive, Placed, Archived) map to Bullhorn's Candidate.status pick-list. Value-by-value mapping required because Easy Tech may use different status labels than Bullhorn's default options. FlitStack surfaces the value map before migration runs so your Bullhorn admin can add any missing status values to Bullhorn's pick-list.

Easy Tech

Client / Company

maps to

Bullhorn ATS & CRM

ClientCorporation

1:1
Fully supported

Easy Tech client or company records map to Bullhorn ClientCorporation. Bullhorn ClientCorporation stores company name, address, industry, website, and tax ID. Client contacts associated with the company migrate as Bullhorn ClientContact records linked via clientCorporationID. Primary contact designated in Easy Tech becomes the primary ClientContact in Bullhorn.

Easy Tech

Client Contact

maps to

Bullhorn ATS & CRM

ClientContact

1:1
Fully supported

Easy Tech contacts associated with a client map to Bullhorn ClientContact. Fields include firstName, lastName, email, phone, title, and notes. Each ClientContact links to a ClientCorporation via clientCorporationID. Multiple contacts per client are preserved — Bullhorn supports N client contacts per ClientCorporation.

Easy Tech

Job / Job Order

maps to

Bullhorn ATS & CRM

JobOrder

1:1
Fully supported

Easy Tech job or order records map to Bullhorn JobOrder. JobOrder stores title, description, employmentType, payRate, startDate, and status. Bullhorn distinguishes between open, placed, and cancelled job statuses. Job requirements and skills from Easy Tech map to JobOrder's skillList or custom text fields depending on how Easy Tech stored requirements.

Easy Tech

Job Status

maps to

Bullhorn ATS & CRM

JobOrder.status

1:1
Fully supported

Easy Tech job status values (Open, Closed, Filled, On Hold) map to Bullhorn JobOrder.status. Bullhorn uses a different status vocabulary than most ATS platforms — 'New' and 'Open' are distinct, and 'Placed' indicates all positions on the order are filled. The value map ensures your Bullhorn job board reflects the same operational state as Easy Tech.

Easy Tech

Placement / Deal

maps to

Bullhorn ATS & CRM

Placement

1:1
Fully supported

Easy Tech placement or deal records map to Bullhorn Placement. Placement links a Candidate to a JobOrder and ClientCorporation. Bullhorn Placement stores jobOrderID, candidateID, startDate, endDate, payRate, billRate, and status. Commission records associated with placements map to PlacementCommission — FlitStack identifies these from Easy Tech's data model during discovery.

Easy Tech

Placement Commission

maps to

Bullhorn ATS & CRM

PlacementCommission

1:1
Fully supported

Easy Tech may store commission data as fields on placement records or as a separate object. Bullhorn separates this into PlacementCommission as a child of Placement. If Easy Tech stores commission per placement as a flat record, FlitStack creates a custom mapping to the child commission structure. Custom configuration may be required if Easy Tech uses multi-tier commission splits.

Easy Tech

Activity / Note

maps to

Bullhorn ATS & CRM

Note

1:1
Fully supported

Easy Tech notes and activity history attached to candidates, jobs, or placements migrate as Bullhorn Note records. Note stores body, actionType, and dateAdded. Original timestamps and owning user preserved. Bullhorn associates notes to the correct parent record (Candidate, JobOrder, or Placement) via parentID and parentType.

Easy Tech

Owner / Recruiter

maps to

Bullhorn ATS & CRM

User

1:1
Fully supported

Easy Tech owner or recruiter IDs resolve by email match to Bullhorn User records. Unmatched owners flagged before migration — your Bullhorn admin must create User accounts for any recruiters not yet in Bullhorn. Records without a resolved owner assign to a default Bullhorn user specified in the migration plan. Owner resolution prevents orphaned records in Bullhorn.

Easy Tech

Custom Candidate Fields

maps to

Bullhorn ATS & CRM

Candidate (custom fields)

1:1
Fully supported

Easy Tech custom fields attached to candidate records migrate as Bullhorn userDefinedFields on the Candidate object. Bullhorn requires these to be pre-created in the Bullhorn schema before migration. FlitStack delivers a custom field creation guide specifying fieldType, label, and valueSet so your Bullhorn admin can provision them before data loads.

Easy Tech

Custom Client Fields

maps to

Bullhorn ATS & CRM

ClientCorporation (custom fields)

1:1
Fully supported

Easy Tech custom fields on client or company records become Bullhorn userDefinedFields on ClientCorporation. Field types (text, number, date, pick-list) carry over with their definitions. Pick-list custom fields require value mapping if Easy Tech and Bullhorn use different option labels. FlitStack surfaces these during the mapping review phase.

Easy Tech

Custom Job Fields

maps to

Bullhorn ATS & CRM

JobOrder (custom fields)

1:1
Fully supported

Easy Tech custom fields on job orders become Bullhorn userDefinedFields on JobOrder. Common examples include internal job codes, branch office tags, or client-specific requirements fields. Bullhorn's JobOrder object supports custom fields of type string, integer, decimal, and pick-list. FlitStack creates the schema setup plan before migration runs.

Easy Tech

Attachment / Resume

maps to

Bullhorn ATS & CRM

CandidateAttachment

1:1
Fully supported

Easy Tech resumes and file attachments associated with candidates migrate as Bullhorn CandidateAttachment records. Bullhorn stores attachments separately from the candidate record — each attachment links via candidateID and stores the file type, description, and original content. Bullhorn supports PDF, DOC, DOCX, and common image formats. File size limits apply per Bullhorn's upload constraints.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Bullhorn custom fields must be pre-created before data lands

    Bullhorn requires userDefinedFields to exist in the schema before records can populate them. Easy Tech shops with 20+ custom fields on candidates, jobs, or clients need their Bullhorn admin to create these fields first — fieldType, label, required flag, and valueSet (for pick-lists) all need to be defined. FlitStack delivers a custom field creation guide as part of the migration plan, but the Bullhorn-side provisioning is a prerequisite. If custom fields are missing, Bullhorn rejects those records during load. This adds 3–5 business days to the pre-migration timeline depending on field count.

  • Owner resolution by email can leave records orphaned without pre-provisioned Bullhorn users

    Bullhorn assigns record ownership to User records, and Bullhorn resolves ownership by matching the owner's email to a Bullhorn user account. Easy Tech owner IDs do not map to Bullhorn user IDs directly — they require an email-based lookup. If an Easy Tech recruiter has no corresponding Bullhorn user account, their records land without an owner in Bullhorn. FlitStack flags every unmatched owner email before migration runs, but your Bullhorn admin must create those user accounts first. Unowned records are hard to reconcile post-migration and can affect Bullhorn's assignment-based reporting.

  • Bullhorn separates WorkExperience and CandidateEducation as child objects — Easy Tech flat history requires denormalization

    Easy Tech typically stores candidate employment history as a text field or as a repeating section within the candidate record. Bullhorn normalizes this into separate WorkExperience and CandidateEducation child objects, each with its own date ranges, company names, titles, and descriptions. Migrating a flat employment history from Easy Tech into Bullhorn's structured child objects requires parsing the source records and creating multiple child records per candidate. FlitStack handles this transformation, but the mapping plan must specify how Easy Tech's specific history format (per candidate) maps to Bullhorn's schema before migration runs.

  • Bullhorn's separate PlacementCommission child object means commission data needs explicit mapping

    If Easy Tech stores placement commissions as fields directly on the placement record, Bullhorn's model requires creating a PlacementCommission child record for each placement that has commission data. Bullhorn's PlacementCommission object captures commissionAmount, commissionPercentage, and userID (the recruiter who earns the commission). A flat commission field in Easy Tech must be parsed and inserted as a child record in Bullhorn. Multi-tier commission structures (split commissions across team members) require one PlacementCommission record per split. FlitStack identifies the source structure during discovery and delivers a commission mapping plan before migration.

  • Workflows and automation sequences do not migrate and require Bullhorn Automation (Herefish) rebuild

    Bullhorn workflows and automation sequences are configured within Bullhorn Automation (the product formerly known as Herefish, which Bullhorn acquired). These are not part of Bullhorn's core CRM or ATS data — they live in a separate module with its own data model and licensing. Easy Tech automation rules, sequence triggers, and workflow logic cannot be exported and loaded into Bullhorn. FlitStack migrates data only. Your Bullhorn team must rebuild automation logic in Bullhorn Automation after migration, referencing the exported Easy Tech workflow definitions as a rebuild guide.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful Easy Tech to Bullhorn ATS & CRM data migration

  1. Audit Easy Tech data model and export structure

    FlitStack reviews your Easy Tech data export — typically CSV or API extraction — to identify all standard objects (candidates, clients, job orders, placements), custom fields, and child record structures. We profile record counts, identify data quality issues (duplicate candidates, missing required fields), and document the employment history and education format within candidate records. This audit produces the migration scope document and flags any Easy Tech objects that have no Bullhorn equivalent.

  2. Provision Bullhorn schema and resolve owner mappings

    FlitStack delivers a custom field creation guide listing every Bullhorn userDefinedField that must be pre-created on Candidate, ClientCorporation, JobOrder, and Placement objects — with fieldType, label, and valueSet for pick-list fields. Your Bullhorn admin creates these fields in Bullhorn. Simultaneously, we match Easy Tech owner email addresses against Bullhorn User accounts. Any owner without a Bullhorn user account is flagged for provisioning before migration. No data moves until owner resolution is complete.

  3. Sequence migration: clients first, then candidates, jobs, placements

    Bullhorn enforces foreign key constraints — ClientCorporation records must exist before JobOrder records (which reference clientCorporationID), and Candidate and JobOrder records must exist before Placement records (which reference both). FlitStack sequences the migration accordingly: ClientCorporation and ClientContact records load first, then Candidate records with WorkExperience and CandidateEducation child records, then JobOrder records, then Placement records with PlacementCommission child records. Activities and notes load in a final pass linked to their parent records. This sequencing ensures referential integrity throughout.

  4. Run sample migration with field-level diff

    A representative sample — typically 200–500 records across candidates, clients, job orders, and placements — migrates first into a Bullhorn staging environment. FlitStack generates a field-level diff comparing source values against destination field values, including custom field population, status value mapping, and child record creation. You review the diff to verify employment history denormalization, commission mapping, and owner resolution. Sample migration approval triggers the full run.

  5. Execute full migration with delta-pickup and rollback capability

    The full migration loads all records into Bullhorn using Bullhorn's API with rate-limit awareness to avoid throttling. During the cutover window (typically 24–48 hours), FlitStack maintains delta-pickup — any Easy Tech records modified after the initial extraction are captured and applied to Bullhorn before go-live. A full audit log records every record created, updated, or skipped. If reconciliation identifies discrepancies, one-click rollback reverts the Bullhorn environment to its pre-migration state so corrections can be applied without data loss.
