Overview
Migrating from hireEZ to BambooHR is a platform-class migration, not a record copy. hireEZ is a recruiting intelligence platform built for outbound candidate sourcing, AI-driven enrichment, and talent pool management. BambooHR is a unified HRIS that handles the full hire-to-retire lifecycle including applicant tracking, onboarding, payroll, time-off, and performance. The migration requires mapping hireEZ's candidate-centric data model (candidates, projects, talent pools, campaign memberships) into BambooHR's employee-centric model where Applicants transition to Employees through an onboarding workflow. We preserve candidate-to-pool associations as BambooHR-custom applicant tags, resolve duplicate candidates by email dedup, and flag records with known contact accuracy issues for verification before import. Workflows, outreach sequences, and analytics dashboards do not migrate; we deliver a written inventory of any hiring automations requiring rebuild in BambooHR's ATS settings and document the hiring-data gaps for HR reporting reconstruction.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.
AI proposes the map; you confirm before any record moves.
Parent–child, lookups, and ownership stay linked.
Calls, emails, meetings — with original timestamps.
Documents, uploads, and inline notes move with the record.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a hireEZ 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.
hireEZ
Candidate
BambooHR
Applicant / Employee
1:1hireEZ Candidate records map to BambooHR Applicant records within the BambooHR ATS. When a candidate has been hired, the Applicant record transitions to an Employee record through BambooHR's native onboarding workflow. We use candidate email as the canonical dedupe key across both object types. We validate email addresses against standard deliverability patterns during import and flag records flagged as high-bounce-risk in hireEZ (derived from the known 30% bounce rate in enriched contact data) for customer verification before they enter BambooHR's ATS pipeline.
hireEZ
Project (Job Requisition)
BambooHR
Job
1:1hireEZ Projects store job requisition metadata including title, department, location, and pipeline stage assignments. These map directly to BambooHR Jobs. We preserve the project-to-candidate association as a BambooHR custom applicant field that references the source hireEZ Project ID for audit trail. Job status (open, paused, filled, closed) migrates to BambooHR Job Status.
hireEZ
Talent Pool
BambooHR
Applicant Tag
lossyhireEZ Talent Pools are named collections of candidates grouped by skill, role, or talent community. BambooHR does not have a native Talent Pool equivalent; we map pool membership to BambooHR's Applicant Tags feature and create a custom tag per source Talent Pool. Pool descriptions migrate as tag metadata notes. Candidates belonging to multiple pools receive multiple tags. This is a configuration-level mapping that preserves the pool structure without requiring BambooHR custom objects.
hireEZ
Automated Campaign
BambooHR
Applicant Stage / Tag
1:1hireEZ Automated Campaigns store multi-channel outreach sequences (email, SMS, InMail) with candidate engagement history. We migrate campaign membership and the most recent engagement timestamp per candidate as a BambooHR custom applicant field. The sequence step definitions (step timing, message content, cadence rules) do not transfer because they are tied to hireEZ's internal messaging infrastructure. We deliver a written inventory of each campaign's structure for the customer's admin to rebuild as BambooHR email templates and stage-based nurture sequences.
hireEZ
Candidate Activity (email opens, clicks, replies, InMail views)
BambooHR
Applicant Note
1:1hireEZ Activity logs capture engagement events including email opens, clicks, replies, InMail views, and scheduling events. We preserve the activity timeline per candidate as BambooHR Applicant Notes with a standardized prefix (e.g., '[hireEZ:Email Open]') and the original timestamp. The full activity type taxonomy migrates as separate note entries. Note that BambooHR does not have a native engagement analytics dashboard equivalent to hireEZ's sourcing analytics; we flag this as a reporting gap for HR analysis reconstruction.
hireEZ
Interview Events
BambooHR
Interview (BambooHR ATS)
1:1hireEZ interview scheduling events and calendar syncs recorded as activity entries map to BambooHR Interview records within the ATS. We preserve scheduling metadata (date, time, interviewer name, location or meeting link) and link the interview record to the corresponding Applicant and Job. Interview disposition notes migrate as a BambooHR Interview Note.
hireEZ
Custom Candidate Properties
BambooHR
Custom Applicant Fields
lossyhireEZ custom fields on candidate profiles vary by customer configuration. We discover all custom properties during scoping, map them to BambooHR's custom applicant field system (found under Settings > HR Fields > Applicants), and flag any hireEZ properties with no matching BambooHR field type for customer decision. BambooHR supports text, date, number, dropdown, checkbox, and URL custom field types on Applicant records. Fields requiring type conversion (e.g., a multi-select list in hireEZ with no BambooHR multi-select equivalent) are escalated during scoping.
hireEZ
Bidirectional ATS Sync Records
BambooHR
Applicant (deduplicated)
lossyEnterprise Auto Sync on hireEZ keeps candidate records synchronized with the customer's ATS in real time. Records created or updated via ATS sync may have conflicting IDs or duplicate email addresses across both systems. We deduplicate on candidate email, resolving conflicting stage assignments by preferring the most recent timestamp. The customer must identify which ATS was the sync source during discovery so we can avoid double-counting records that already exist in both systems.
hireEZ
Analytics and Reports
BambooHR
BambooHR Reports
1:1hireEZ analytics dashboards and reports are platform-native and do not export in transferable format. The underlying funnel data (candidate source, pipeline stage, hire outcome) migrates as applicant notes and custom field values, enabling reconstruction of basic hiring funnel reports in BambooHR's reporting module. Custom dashboards with sourcing analytics, market benchmarking, and competitor hiring activity from hireEZ do not have an equivalent in BambooHR and are documented as scope gaps for the customer's reporting team.
hireEZ
Outreach Sequences
BambooHR
N/A
1:1hireEZ outreach sequence definitions and step logic are tied to hireEZ's internal messaging infrastructure and do not export. We do not migrate sequence definitions. We deliver a written inventory of each sequence's trigger, steps, timing, and message content for the customer's admin to rebuild using BambooHR's email template system and stage-based workflows if applicable. For teams requiring full sales engagement cadence capability, we document the gap and recommend evaluating BambooHR's integration ecosystem for a compatible cadence tool.

Migration approach
Discovery and data audit
We audit the hireEZ account across all projects, talent pools, candidate record volumes, custom field configurations, and ATS sync status. We identify the export path available to the customer (UI-based CSV per project, or ATS pull through a connected platform if Auto Sync is active). We assess contact data quality by sampling email deliverability across the candidate database, estimate the volume of high-bounce-risk records, and flag any candidate records that were last enriched outside the current billing period (credit-based enrichment means older records may have stale contact data). The discovery output is a written migration scope with record counts per object, export path recommendation, and a data quality summary.
Export and deduplication
We execute the data extraction using the available path identified during discovery. For UI-based CSV exports, we pull candidate records per project, normalize field names across exports, and aggregate into a master candidate dataset. We deduplicate on candidate email, resolving conflicts from bidirectional ATS sync records by preferring the record with the most recent modification timestamp. We separate candidates with verified versus unverified contact data and generate a contact-risk flag per record. We also export talent pool memberships, campaign membership history, activity timelines, and custom field values as separate normalized datasets ready for transformation.
BambooHR configuration and custom field setup
We configure BambooHR's ATS before data import begins. This includes creating the custom Applicant fields required to hold hireEZ custom properties (with type-mapped equivalents), setting up Job records corresponding to hireEZ Projects, creating Applicant Tags for each Talent Pool, and configuring the hiring pipeline stages to align with the customer's existing pipeline structure. We deploy configuration to a BambooHR sandbox first for validation, confirm field-level access settings, and hand off the sandbox to the customer's HR admin for sign-off before production configuration begins.
Sandbox migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into a BambooHR sandbox using production-like record volume. The customer's HR lead reconciles record counts (Applicants imported, Jobs created, Tags assigned, Activities migrated), spot-checks 25-50 candidate records against the hireEZ source for field accuracy, and validates that talent pool memberships appear as correct Applicant Tags. Any field mapping corrections, missing custom fields, or tag-structure adjustments happen in sandbox before production migration begins. This step prevents import errors in the live BambooHR environment and avoids duplicate record cleanup after go-live.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in the following order: Jobs (from hireEZ Projects), Applicants (with email dedup and contact-risk flag applied), Applicant Tags (pool membership), custom Applicant fields, Interview records, and Applicant Notes (activity timeline). Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. Contact records flagged as high-risk during discovery are imported into a separate BambooHR 'verification needed' status for customer review before they enter the active ATS pipeline. The customer freezes new hireEZ writes during the final 48-hour window to capture any last-minute candidate additions.
Cutover, validation, and automation handoff
We run a final delta migration of any records modified during the production migration window, then mark BambooHR as the system of record. We validate that all Applicant records have a linked Job, all tags are applied, and all activity notes are present and correctly timestamped. We deliver the automation inventory document listing any hireEZ campaigns and sequences that require rebuild in BambooHR, the contact-risk report for post-migration verification, and the talent pool-to-tag mapping reference. We support a five-business-day post-cutover window for reconciliation issues. We do not rebuild hiring automations or configure BambooHR onboarding workflows as part of standard migration scope; these are separate configuration tasks for the customer's HR admin or a BambooHR implementation partner.
