Migrate from Recooty to BambooHR

Recooty Job records (title, description, location, department, employment type, publishing status) map to BambooHR Job records created within the BambooHR ATS module. BambooHR requires the Advantage tier to access the ATS module with job posting capability. We preserve the Recooty job_id as a reference field and migrate job status (Draft, Published, Closed) to BambooHR's job visibility settings. Publishing history to external boards does not migrate because BambooHR's board distribution is handled post-migration through BambooHR's own job board integrations.

Recooty Candidate records map to BambooHR Applicant records attached to the corresponding Job. Each applicant's contact information, application date, pipeline stage, and source tracking migrate directly. We resolve the parent Job reference during import so the applicant is attached to the correct BambooHR position on insert. Candidates who were hired in Recooty are flagged for the customer to create as BambooHR Employees post-migration, since BambooHR separates Applicants (hiring) from Employees (post-onboarding).

Recooty's visual pipeline stages (Applied, Screening, Interview, Offer, Hired, and any custom stages) map to BambooHR Job stage definitions. We extract every distinct stage name and order from the source pipelines and configure matching stages in BambooHR before applicant records are imported, ensuring stage transitions carry over without manual re-entry. Stages unique to specific jobs (rather than global defaults) are preserved as job-specific stage orders in BambooHR.

Recooty interview records containing date, time, interview type, interviewer assignment, and candidate reference migrate as structured interview records linked to the BambooHR Applicant. Business and Enterprise Recooty accounts with calendar sync and self-scheduling links do not transfer because BambooHR's interview scheduling uses BambooHR's own calendar integration. We preserve the interviewer name and interview type as free-text fields in BambooHR's interview notes area.

Recooty custom fields on Candidate and Job objects (available only on Business and Enterprise plans) are documented as a written inventory with field name, data type, and picklist values. We do not migrate custom field data into BambooHR during the standard migration scope because BambooHR's custom field schema must first be configured by the admin to accept the incoming data. The inventory includes recommended field types in BambooHR (dropdown, text, date, checkbox) and is handed off for admin configuration before a supplemental data load. Starter and Growth Recooty accounts have no custom fields to migrate.

Recooty notes attached to Candidate records migrate as BambooHR Notes linked to the corresponding Applicant. Long-format evaluation notes, recruiter comments, and interview debriefs preserve their content and timestamp. Notes do not carry formatting metadata; plain text migrates as-is.

Recooty GDPR consent records, retention policy configurations, and audit trail logs require explicit re-creation in BambooHR. We extract the consent status, retention policy name, and last-access timestamp per candidate from Recooty's structured GDPR data, then flag these for manual re-entry or supplemental file upload in BambooHR's Employee Files module. Any candidates with lapsed consent during the migration window are flagged with a compliance alert for the customer's HR team to resolve before the new system goes live.

Recooty's 100+ job board publishing integrations (LinkedIn, Glassdoor, Indeed, and 97 others) store posting history as OAuth token and job-board-side metadata that is not accessible via Recooty's export APIs. We preserve the job content (title, description, location) but treat board-level publishing history as non-migratable. Jobs are re-published post-migration through BambooHR's own board integrations or manually at each destination board.

Recooty Growth and Business plans include drag-and-drop branded career page builders with hosted microsites. The page builder state (layout, styling, content blocks, microsite URL) is not exportable as structured data and cannot be replicated in BambooHR, which does not include a native career page builder. We document the current career page URLs and content structure as a reference for the customer to rebuild using BambooHR's employee portal, a third-party career site tool (e.g., Breezy, Talenteria), or a hand-coded page that links to BambooHR job postings.

Recooty's AI Bot Interviewer recordings, transcriptions, and scoring data live in the Recooty AI Dashboard, which uses separate credentials and a separate interface from the main Recooty ATS Dashboard. These records are not accessible via the same export path as standard candidate data. We flag the existence of AI interview data during discovery and recommend the customer downloads AI interview records directly from the Recooty AI Dashboard before account closure. Salary estimator outputs are reference-only in Recooty and do not require migration.
