Migrate your Nextal data
Canadian ATS built for recruitment agencies and mid-market companies, with a Kanban pipeline, multilingual job postings, and LinkedIn/Indeed sourcing built in.
In its favor
Why people choose Nextal
The signal that keeps Nextal on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
Multi-language job postings out of the box — recruiters can publish a single requisition in multiple languages without separate job-board configurations.
Built-in candidate sourcing pulls from LinkedIn and Indeed accounts, reducing the need for separate sourcing extension stacks.
Kanban-style collaborative pipeline gives small recruiting teams a visual hand-off model rather than the heavyweight ATS workflow editors used by Greenhouse / Lever.
HubSpot CRM, Outlook, and Gmail integrations cover the productivity stack most small-to-mid-size recruiting teams already use.
Entry price of $49/user/month per third-party listings is competitive for small recruiting teams comparing against Recruitee, Manatal, or Workable.
Nextal does not publish an API per third-party listings — teams that need programmatic candidate sync to HRIS, payroll, or background-check vendors must rely on the small set of packaged integrations.
Public pricing is inconsistent ($49 and $79/user/month appear across reviewers) and the vendor does not publish a clear plan-feature matrix, slowing evaluation.
Custom workflow depth trails enterprise ATS platforms — teams running structured-interview frameworks (Greenhouse, Ashby) or full GDPR-driven candidate-data flows often outgrow Nextal.
Reporting and analytics are functional but not the platform's strongest surface; teams that need hiring-funnel attribution or DEI dashboards typically need supplemental BI work.
Vendor is small; community support and partner ecosystem are limited compared to Greenhouse, Workday Recruiting, or SuccessFactors Recruiting.

What gets migrated
Nextal object support
Object-by-object support for Nextal migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Jobs
Fully supportedJob postings are the primary object in Nextal. Each Job can have multilingual content, a linked Career Portal page, and multiple Pipeline Stages. We extract Jobs with their status, department, and location fields and map them to the equivalent object in the destination ATS.
Candidates
Fully supportedCandidates are candidate profiles tied to applications. We migrate Candidate records including name, contact details, resume attachments, and source attribution (LinkedIn, Indeed, direct application). Source fields are preserved as custom properties when the destination lacks a native source field.
Applications
Mapping requiredApplications link Candidates to Jobs and carry stage history. We map Applications to the destination ATS equivalent and preserve the Kanban stage assignments as custom fields where the target schema does not natively support multi-stage pipeline tracking.
Pipeline Stages
Mapping requiredNextal uses a Kanban-style pipeline with configurable stages. Stage names and ordering vary by organization. We map stage names to destination stage IDs using a customer-reviewed stage mapping table before loading.
Users
Fully supportedUser accounts (recruiters, hiring managers, admins) are migrated with their names, email addresses, and role assignments. We do not transfer passwords; users receive setup emails from the destination system.
Custom Fields
Mapping requiredCustom fields on Jobs, Candidates, or Applications require field-level mapping. We extract the field schema, match by label and data type, and create unmapped custom fields in the destination where necessary after customer review.
Attachments
Mapping requiredResume and document attachments on Candidate records are migrated as downloadable files or linked to the new record. File format is preserved; PDF and DOCX are supported across all common destinations.
Email Templates
Mapping requiredNextal stores multilingual email templates tied to job stages. We extract templates as HTML blobs and import them as email templates in the destination, preserving language variants.
