Overview
Snaphunt is a recruitment-focused ATS built around Jobs, Candidates, Applications, Assessments, and Video Resumes, while BambooHR is a full HRIS covering employee onboarding, payroll, benefits, time-off, and performance management. This migration is not a simple record copy — it is a scope expansion from hiring into ongoing employee lifecycle management. Snaphunt does not publish a documented public API, so we extract data via CSV exports from the platform UI and ingest it through BambooHR's REST API using API-key authentication. We preserve video resume URLs as external references (not the video files themselves), map psychometric assessment scores to BambooHR custom fields, and flag pipeline stage configurations for manual reconstruction in BambooHR's ATS module. Employer brand assets and custom workflow automations do not migrate; we deliver a written inventory for the customer's admin to rebuild.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.
AI proposes the map; you confirm before any record moves.
Parent–child, lookups, and ownership stay linked.
Calls, emails, meetings — with original timestamps.
Documents, uploads, and inline notes move with the record.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Snaphunt object lands in BambooHR, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.
Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.
Snaphunt
Job
BambooHR
Job Opening
1:1Snaphunt Job postings (title, description, location, remote status, requirements) map directly to BambooHR Job Openings. BambooHR's applicant tracking stores job postings with department, location, and employment status. We extract the full job record from Snaphunt CSV and create corresponding Job Openings via the BambooHR API. Any custom job fields from Snaphunt migrate as BambooHR custom fields on the Job Opening.
Snaphunt
Candidate
BambooHR
Employee or Applicant
1:1Snaphunt Candidates (contact info, skills, work history, psychometric profile) map to BambooHR Employee records for hired candidates or Applicant records for those still in pipeline. We use email as the dedupe key. BambooHR requires Employee records to include hire date, department, and job title; for Candidates not yet hired, we create Applicant records. Any Snaphunt custom candidate fields migrate as BambooHR custom fields on the corresponding record type.
Snaphunt
Application
BambooHR
Application
1:1Snaphunt Applications link a Candidate to a Job with a status, source attribution, and timestamp. We map these to BambooHR Applications associated with the corresponding Job Opening. Pipeline stage (Applied, Screening, Interview, Offer, Hired, Rejected) maps to BambooHR application status. Source attribution (referral, job board, direct) migrates as a text field since BambooHR stores application source as part of its standard tracking.
Snaphunt
Assessment
BambooHR
Custom Fields (numeric and text)
lossySnaphunt psychometric and skills assessment scores (numeric) migrate to BambooHR custom numeric fields on the Employee or Applicant record. Narrative assessment summaries migrate as custom text fields. BambooHR does not have a native assessment module, so structured scores require pre-creation of custom fields before migration. We create the field schema during the discovery phase and validate with the customer before import.
Snaphunt
Video Resume
BambooHR
External Link (custom field)
lossySnaphunt video resume files are hosted on Snaphunt's media infrastructure and referenced by URL in the candidate profile. The video files themselves are not exportable via standard platform exports. We preserve the video URL in a BambooHR custom text field (e.g., video_resume_url__c) on the Applicant record. The customer decides whether to re-upload videos to a shared drive or document management system, or notify candidates to resubmit.
Snaphunt
Interview
BambooHR
Interview Record (BambooHR ATS)
1:1Snaphunt interview records (scheduled date, interviewer, type, outcome notes) map to interview notes in BambooHR's applicant tracking. BambooHR stores interviews as part of the application timeline rather than as standalone objects. We migrate structured interview data (date, interviewer name, type) as notes attached to the Application. Calendar invite links from Snaphunt do not transfer; we document the original interview scheduling data for manual re-creation.
Snaphunt
Pipeline Stage
BambooHR
Application Status
lossySnaphunt pipeline stages (Applied, Screening, Interview, Offer, Hired, Rejected) map to BambooHR application status values. We configure the status workflow during schema design, mapping each Snaphunt stage to an equivalent BambooHR status. The customer reviews and approves the stage mapping before migration to ensure alignment with their hiring process.
Snaphunt
User/Hiring Team
BambooHR
Employee (User in BambooHR context)
1:1Snaphunt team member accounts (name, email, role) map to BambooHR Employee records. BambooHR uses Employee records as the user base for its platform access. We resolve team members by email match. Any Snaphunt role information (Recruiter, Hiring Manager, Interviewer) migrates as a custom text field or maps to BambooHR's permission groups if applicable.
Snaphunt
Custom Candidate Fields
BambooHR
Custom Employee or Applicant Fields
lossySnaphunt accounts using custom fields on Candidates are identified during the audit phase. We extract all visible custom fields from the CSV export and create equivalent custom fields in BambooHR. Custom field types are mapped: text to text, numeric to numeric, date to date, and picklist to dropdown. Fields not visible in the standard export are flagged as manual-review items.
Snaphunt
Employer Branding Assets
BambooHR
Not Migrated
1:1Snaphunt employer branding assets (company logos, banners, branded job page templates) are platform-bound and cannot be extracted. We document the existing brand assets during discovery as a reference list for the customer's design team to recreate in BambooHR's employee-facing branding settings. This is a manual task outside the migration scope.

Gotchas + challenges
Platform-specific issues from each side, plus the pair-specific challenges that don't show up on either platform's page on its own.
Snaphunt gotchas
No public API means migration relies on CSV exports
Video resume media files are not directly exportable
Employer brand assets are platform-bound
Custom fields may differ per account
BambooHR gotchas
Undocumented API rate limits can trigger 503 errors
Per-employee pricing model requires active record count verification
API credentials must be sent on every request to avoid extra round trips
Custom field schema varies per account and requires manual inventory
Document and attachment exports are not covered by standard report exports
Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discovery and export preparation
We audit the source Snaphunt account across jobs, candidates, applications, assessments, interview records, pipeline stages, and custom fields. We identify the full CSV export schema, locate any non-standard custom fields, and inventory video resume URLs. We also assess the BambooHR destination account for existing employee records, configured job openings, and custom field setup. The discovery output is a written migration scope and a CSV export checklist for the customer's Snaphunt account access.
BambooHR custom field schema design
We design the custom field schema in BambooHR before any data ingestion. This includes creating custom numeric fields for assessment scores, custom text fields for narrative summaries and video resume URLs, and any custom fields needed for Snaphunt custom candidate properties. Fields are deployed into a BambooHR test environment for validation before production migration. The customer reviews and approves the schema design.
CSV extraction and data transformation
We extract all Snaphunt data via CSV exports generated from the platform UI. We transform the data according to the mapping schema: Candidates to Employees or Applicants, Applications to BambooHR Applications, Jobs to Job Openings, and Assessments to custom fields. We resolve parent-record dependencies (Application to Job Opening, Applicant to Employee) and flag any records with missing required fields for customer resolution.
Sandbox migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into BambooHR's test environment using production-like data volume. The customer's HR lead reconciles record counts (Employees in, Applicants in, Jobs in, Applications in), spot-checks 25-50 random records against the Snaphunt source, and validates custom field values. Any mapping corrections happen here. Assessment scores are validated for numeric range and format compliance with BambooHR custom field definitions.
Production migration and cutover
We run production migration in dependency order: Job Openings (first, as applications reference them), Employees and Applicants (with email dedupe), Applications (linked to Jobs and Applicants), and custom field data (assessment scores, video URLs, interview notes). Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report. We freeze Snaphunt writes during cutover and run a final delta migration of any records modified during the window.
Validation, handoff, and manual task inventory
We validate the production migration against the reconciliation report and deliver the video resume URL inventory, employer branding asset reference list, and pipeline configuration inventory to the customer's admin team. We support a one-week hypercare window where we resolve any data quality issues. We do not rebuild Snaphunt pipeline configurations as BambooHR application statuses inside the migration scope; that is an internal admin task or a separate configuration engagement.
