Migrate your JazzHR data
Flat-fee ATS built for SMBs with unlimited user seats and multi-board job syndication. JazzHR gates volume through job caps, not per-seat pricing, making it affordable for distributed hiring teams.
In its favor
Why people choose JazzHR
The signal that keeps JazzHR on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
Unlimited user seats on every plan means hiring managers, recruiters, and HR ops all get access without triggering per-seat billing — a key differentiator from per-seat ATS competitors.
Job postings syndicate to 20+ job boards from a single interface, consolidating inbound applications into one pipeline without manual re-entry or multi-platform management.
Customizable hiring workflows with predefined but editable stages let teams reflect their internal process without rebuilding the entire ATS from scratch.
Job cloning lets recruiters duplicate a filled position's posting and settings, saving configuration time on recurring roles and reducing onboarding friction for hiring managers.
Strong integrations with UKG Ready and UKG Pro enable a direct candidate-to-onboarded-employee handoff, reducing re-keying between recruiting and HRIS.
Reporting and analytics are shallow; users track recruiting KPIs in spreadsheets because JazzHR's native dashboards do not surface funnel metrics in a usable way.
Limited customization on offer letters and interview guides forces teams to maintain documents outside the platform or accept rigid templates.
Workflow configurations reset when modified repeatedly, creating friction for teams that iterate on their hiring process frequently.
Internal candidates are not flagged in the candidate record, so HR teams cannot identify current employees in the pipeline without manual tagging.
No native Calendly or scheduling link integration means interview scheduling is manual — recruiters must call or email candidates to set times.

What gets migrated
JazzHR object support
Object-by-object support for JazzHR migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Jobs
Fully supportedJobs is the top-level container in JazzHR, carrying title, location, description, salary range, status, department, hiring lead, and board codes. The API returns all standard fields as documented and stable. We migrate Jobs with their associated workflow and stage metadata intact.
Prospects
Fully supportedProspects represent the candidate-job association with a status, source, referral field, and apply date. The prospect_id is the join key between candidates and open positions. We migrate Prospects preserving the linked job_id and the workflow step at time of export.
Candidates (Profiles)
Fully supportedCandidate profiles include name, email, phone, address, work history, education with codified education levels (36 enumerated values), and a startDate custom field if set. The educationLevelCodes enum is explicit and migrates as-is. We extract all standard profile fields and map them to destination schema.
Documents / Attachments
Mapping requiredDocuments attached to candidate profiles are returned as base64-encoded blobs with a MIME type via the Candidate Export Webhook. Document URLs expire 2 hours 30 minutes after the export event fires. We handle this by streaming attachments immediately after export rather than queuing them separately.
Custom Fields
Mapping requiredJazzHR supports custom fields on profiles and candidate exports. A startDate custom field uses a specific camelCase key (startDate) and YYYY-MM-DD formatting. Other custom fields vary by account. We enumerate and map each custom field explicitly before writing to the destination.
Departments
Fully supportedDepartments are returned as a filterable entity in the Jobs API. We migrate the department taxonomy so job-to-department assignments are preserved in the destination system.
Hiring Leads
Mapping requiredEvery job has a designated hiring_lead_id tied to a user. We migrate the hiring lead reference and remap it to the corresponding user in the destination system. If no matching user exists, we assign it to the migration owner and flag it for review.
Workflows / Pipeline Stages
Mapping requiredJazzHR workflows define the stages a candidate moves through per job. Custom workflow IDs (workflow_id) are required when creating jobs via API. We map the full stage sequence and stage names to the destination pipeline structure, merging or creating stages as needed.
Sources and Referrals
Fully supportedThe source and referral fields on a prospect record are free-text and codified strings. We preserve them as-is and map them to the destination's equivalent fields or store them as custom properties.
Job Board Codes
Mapping requiredEach job carries board codes identifying where it was posted (Indeed, LinkedIn, ZipRecruiter, etc.). We do not recreate job board connections during migration but flag which boards were active so you can re-syndicate after cutover.
