In its favor
Why people choose Manitou ATS
The signal that keeps Manitou ATS on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
Unified ATS + CRM + HR stack means staffing agencies avoid paying for and integrating multiple separate tools.
European-origin platform with multi-language support, appealing to staffing firms operating across EU countries.
Centralized applicant bank serves as a searchable talent repository without requiring external spreadsheets or email threads.
Integration with online staffing platforms allows job postings to propagate to multiple boards from a single source.
Time and expenses module alongside ATS appeals to staffing firms that bill candidates on a time-and-materials basis.
Limited brand recognition outside Europe makes it difficult to justify to globally-minded hiring stakeholders or investors.
Absence of a public API restricts automation possibilities and makes data portability a manual, fragile process.
Lacks the AI-driven sourcing and candidate matching features found in newer competitors like Ashby or Lever.
Small vendor footprint means fewer third-party integrations compared to established ATS platforms with large marketplace ecosystems.
Interface and feature set feel less polished than modern SaaS ATS products marketed primarily to US-based growth-stage companies.

What gets migrated
Manitou ATS object support
Object-by-object support for Manitou ATS migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Candidates
Mapping requiredThe primary applicant record in Manitou ATS, containing contact info, skills, application history, and attachments. We map Candidates into the destination's equivalent applicant or contact object and flag any custom properties that require value translation.
Jobs/Requisitions
Mapping requiredJob postings and requisition records that define open roles, departments, and hiring managers. We preserve job title, description, status, and any custom fields during migration but note that internal pipeline stage configurations often need manual re-establishment in the destination.
Applications
Mapping requiredThe join table between Candidates and Jobs, tracking which applicants moved through which pipeline stages and when. We map application status to the destination's stage names and preserve timestamp history where the target schema allows it.
Companies
Mapping requiredCompany records created in the CRM module, storing client or prospect data linked to placements and billing. We migrate company name, address, and associated contacts, though custom CRM fields require field-level mapping.
Contacts
Mapping requiredIndividual contact records linked to companies, candidates, or both. We preserve name, email, phone, and custom properties, noting that Manitou's person-type taxonomy (e.g., Keyholder default) may require explicit mapping against the destination schema.
Users/Team Members
Fully supportedInternal user accounts representing recruiters, hiring managers, and administrators. We migrate user records with role assignments and preserve ownership links to migrated candidates, jobs, and companies.
Pipeline Stages
Mapping requiredConfigurable hiring stages within each job pipeline (e.g., Screening, Interview, Offer, Hired). We map stage names and order but note that visual pipeline layout and automation rules tied to stages are typically reconfigured in the destination system post-migration.
Skills
Mapping requiredSkill tags and competency tags attached to candidates and jobs. We migrate skill names as text tags and flag any structured skill taxonomies that may need normalization against the destination system's vocabulary.
Evaluations/Notes
Mapping requiredRecruiter notes and structured evaluations attached to applications or candidates. We preserve evaluation content and scores as free-text or custom fields depending on destination support.
Documents/Attachments
Mapping requiredResume files, cover letters, portfolio documents, and other attachments linked to candidates or jobs. We extract and re-attach these to the destination records, though document formatting and storage location depend on the destination's attachment handling.
