Migrate your flair.hr data
Salesforce-native modular HR and recruiting platform with deep customization via flows and custom objects. Best for mid-to-enterprise organizations already in the Salesforce ecosystem who need flexibility across countries and entities.
In its favor
Why people choose flair.hr
The signal that keeps flair.hr on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
Salesforce ecosystem lock-in — organizations already running Sales Cloud or Service Cloud choose flair to keep all people data on the same CRM platform and unified login.
Multi-country and multi-entity flexibility — the ability to tailor policies, permissions, and workflows per location or subsidiary is cited by COOs managing complex international structures.
Hyper-customization via Salesforce flows and custom objects — HR teams with Salesforce admin capacity can build entirely custom people processes without vendor dependencies.
Deep integrations with payroll providers — native DATEV, Sage, and AFAS connectors eliminate manual payroll export work for European customers.
Strong G2 ratings for ease of use and support quality — customers specifically praise the user interface and the responsiveness of flair's customer success team.
Advanced analytics and reporting features are tier-locked behind higher plans, frustrating customers who need complex workforce dashboards at the base tier.
Steep Salesforce-specific learning curve — teams without internal Salesforce admin resources find customization and troubleshooting difficult.
Implementation timelines run 4–8 weeks even for standard deployments, which exceeds expectations for smaller teams expecting faster onboarding.
Limited direct data export tooling — there is no self-service bulk export button; customers must request data exports from flair support or rely on Salesforce API access they may not have configured.
Career portal migration required manual intervention from flair support and a hard sunset deadline of March 2024 for legacy pages, creating urgency pressure.

What gets migrated
flair.hr object support
Object-by-object support for flair.hr migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Employees
Fully supportedEmployee records are standard Salesforce Contacts with flair-specific custom fields for employment details, start dates, manager relationships, and department assignments. We migrate all standard and custom Contact fields, including multi-select picklists for locations and org-unit membership.
Candidates
Fully supportedCandidates are stored as Salesforce Leads or as custom JobApplication objects depending on the flair configuration. We inspect the org's object model during discovery to determine the candidate object and migrate all fields including custom stages, source tracking, and rating scores.
Positions
Fully supportedPositions are custom objects that represent job openings, linked to Departments and Locations. We preserve the position hierarchy, reporting relationships, and any custom fields used for headcount planning or cost-center assignment.
Departments
Fully supportedDepartments map to Salesforce Departments or custom organizational unit objects. We preserve the full department hierarchy and link each employee record to its owning department.
Locations
Fully supportedLocations are custom objects representing physical or legal entity work sites. We preserve location metadata including address, country, timezone, and any associated cost-center assignments.
Absences
Fully supportedAbsence records are custom objects tracking leave types, start/end dates, approval status, and linked employee lookups. We preserve the full absence history including pending and approved records.
Time Entries
Mapping requiredTime entries can use either custom TimeEntry objects or the standard Salesforce Event/Task objects depending on the flair version. We detect the underlying model and map hours, project codes, cost-center assignments, and approval status accordingly. Date formatting and timezone handling require explicit alignment during import.
Documents
Mapping requiredDocument storage in flair uses Salesforce Files and ContentDocumentLink. We migrate the binary attachments and preserve the linking relationships to employees or positions, but large document volumes may require chunked migration with checksum validation.
Workflows
Mapping requiredflair Workflows are Salesforce Flow-based step sequences for onboarding, performance reviews, and approvals. We map the final step-completion state as a target record rather than preserving the workflow sequence itself, and document which tasks were completed at migration time.
Performance Reviews
Fully supportedPerformance review cycles, goals, OKRs, and feedback records are custom objects linked to Employees. We preserve review templates, ratings, goal progress, and historical review cycles in full.
Engagement Surveys
Fully supportedSurvey questions, response sets, and aggregate eNPS scores are custom objects. Individual anonymous survey responses are migrated as aggregate records where direct attribution is not required, per the destination platform's anonymization rules.
Custom Objects
Mapping requiredflair's extensibility model uses Salesforce custom objects and fields for industry-specific or customer-defined data structures. We inspect the org's custom object definitions during discovery and migrate them field-by-field, applying value mapping for picklists and lookups that may not exist in the target system.
Payroll Records
Mapping requiredPayroll data is linked to Employees via custom payroll objects that may integrate with DATEV, Sage, or AFAS depending on configuration. We migrate the payroll summary records and effective-dated compensation history, but actual payroll runs are typically re-entered in the destination payroll system.
Job Postings / Career Portal
Mapping requiredActive job postings are custom objects linked to Positions. We migrate posting content, location assignments, and segment associations, but the branded career portal pages themselves require flair support to migrate URLs.
