Migrate your Mitratech Circa data
OFCCP compliance and DEIB talent acquisition platform built for federal contractors. It sits inside the Mitratech legal-and-compliance portfolio after a 2023 acquisition and is priced per feature, not per user.
In its favor
Why people choose Mitratech Circa
The signal that keeps Mitratech Circa on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
OFCCP regulatory alignment — federal contractors choose Circa specifically because its ESDS job board posting workflow is built to satisfy Office of Federal Contract Compliance Program audit requirements, keeping hiring records defensible.
Diversity sourcing depth — the Community Partner Directory and Diversity Badge system let recruiting teams track outreach relationships beyond what standard ATS platforms offer, which is why DEIB programs adopt it.
Affirmative Action planning support — reviewers consistently cite the ability to generate AAP reporting directly from candidate pipeline data as a reason they stay, reducing manual reconciliation work.
Customer service quality — Capterra reviews give Circa a 4.6/5 on customer service, with reviewers noting responsive support teams and clear resource navigation.
Modular per-feature pricing — organizations can activate only the compliance or diversity features they need rather than buying a full ATS suite, which appeals to mid-market teams with scoped requirements.
Navigation friction across windows — multiple G2 reviewers report that clicking certain links opens excessive new pages, fragmenting workflows and slowing daily users who rely on the ATS daily.
Lack of dedicated support for non-enterprise accounts — at least one reviewer noted that companies below enterprise size do not receive a named customer success representative, which impacts adoption velocity.
Post-acquisition uncertainty — the 2023 Mitratech acquisition of Circa has prompted some customers to evaluate alternatives, given the broader Mitratech portfolio now includes competing HR products like Trakstar and TalentReef.
Pricing opacity and feature-tier confusion — starting at $600/month per feature means organizations with multiple compliance needs face stacking costs that are difficult to predict without direct sales engagement.

Pricing tiers
Mitratech Circa pricing overview
Circa uses a per-feature-module pricing model starting at $600/month according to SoftwareFinder, with third-party sources citing Starter at $799/month and Growth at $1,499/month. Enterprise pricing is custom and negotiated directly, with minimum headcount thresholds. The module-based model means customers pay per activated feature rather than per user, which can make multi-feature deployments more expensive than comparable per-seat ATS products.

What gets migrated
Mitratech Circa object support
Object-by-object support for Mitratech Circa migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Jobs
Fully supportedJobs are the primary container in Circa, holding the requisition details, location data, and EEO-1 category classifications. We migrate Job records including status, posted date, and custom employer profile fields directly into the destination ATS with a 1:1 field map.
Applicants
Fully supportedApplicant records include the standard fields (name, contact, stage, source) plus diversity sourcing tags that Circa captures during the intake workflow. We preserve the full applicant record and map stage names explicitly because ATS platforms vary in their default stage terminology.
Outreach Records
Mapping requiredCirca tracks outreach to community partners as a distinct record type linked to jobs. The outreach record holds partner name, contact, outreach date, and response status. We map these into the destination CRM or ATS as either custom objects or notes attached to the corresponding Job record.
Community Partners
Mapping requiredCommunity Partner Directory entries are contacts outside the organization who receive job postings and diversity outreach communications. We extract the full contact record including organization, address, and diversity focus areas and merge or upsert them into the destination system based on email uniqueness.
Job Boards
Mapping requiredCirca posts jobs to external boards including the state unemployment ESDS sites via automated scraping. Job board subscription configurations and posting history are tracked internally. We record the board name, posting URL, and posting date so the destination system can reproduce the posting cadence.
Affirmative Action Plans
Mapping requiredAAP data in Circa is derived from applicant flow logs and workforce composition snapshots. The plan includes job group analysis, placement goals, and contractor veteran/disability metrics. We export the structured AAP report data and associated candidate pipeline summaries, noting that downstream AAP tools may require re-import of the flat-file output.
Resume Database
Mapping requiredCirca maintains a searchable resume repository tied to sourcing pipelines. Resume records include parsed candidate profiles and source attribution. We export resume metadata and attachments, noting that parsing quality varies by how the original resume was ingested.
Employer Profiles
Mapping requiredEmployer Profile settings include company description, diversity commitments, featured tags, and branding used on job postings. We extract profile text and tag configurations so they can be recreated in the destination job board or ATS employer branding section.
User Accounts
Mapping requiredCirca user accounts include name, role, and access level to the specific feature modules the organization has licensed. We export the user roster and role assignments to provision corresponding accounts in the destination system, noting that role terminology and permission granularity differ across ATS platforms.
Custom Fields
Mapping requiredCirca supports custom fields on Jobs, Applicants, and Community Partners depending on the feature tier. We catalog all active custom fields and their data types during discovery, then build explicit mapping tables for each destination field. Custom field migration is the most common source of data loss in Circa migrations if not audited upfront.
