Migrate from Talent Connects to BambooHR

Talent Connects Jobs (title, description, status, location, department) map to BambooHR ATS Job records. We use the BambooHR /jobs endpoint with POST for new records. The job_status field in Talent Connects (active, paused, closed) maps to the BambooHR active flag and status values. Job postings with a status of 'draft' in Talent Connects migrate as inactive jobs in BambooHR for admin review before publishing.

Talent Connects Candidates (name, email, phone, resume URL, application timestamp, pipeline stage) map to BambooHR ATS Applicant records. We use the BambooHR /applicants endpoint with multipart form-data for file attachments. Application status history from Talent Connects (applied, screening, interview, offer, hired, rejected) maps to BambooHR stage values. Any custom candidate properties migrate as BambooHR custom applicant fields if they accept text, date, or single-select types.

Talent Connects Interview records (date, interviewer, outcome notes, meeting link) do not have a direct BambooHR ATS equivalent. We merge these as onboarding task records on the Employee object after the candidate is hired, creating a pre-boarding task list for the interview round-up. Standalone interview records for rejected or withdrawn candidates are logged as notes on the Applicant record. The built-in video interview platform URL does not transfer.

Talent Connects user accounts on the Enterprise tier (name, email, role assignment) map to BambooHR Employee records. We use the BambooHR /employees endpoint. Role assignments (recruiter, hiring manager, admin) migrate as a custom text field recruiter_role__c because BambooHR's native role model is tied to HRIS permissions rather than ATS-specific hiring roles. Active users without matching BambooHR accounts are held for admin provisioning before import.

Talent Pool is Enterprise-only in Talent Connects and stores passive candidate sourcing metadata separate from active applications. We migrate these records as BambooHR Applicant records with a custom text field sourcing_origin__c set to 'Talent Pool' to preserve the sourcing context. The Talent Pool workflow itself (passive outreach sequences, pool segmentation) does not transfer. Customers using Talent Pool extensively should review BambooHR's Candidate Talent Pools feature as the functional rebuild target.

Talent Connects custom candidate fields (dropdown, text, number, date) map to BambooHR custom applicant fields via the /applicants/customfields endpoint. Multi-select picklist properties in Talent Connects do not map directly because BambooHR custom applicant fields do not support multi-select types. We flag these for admin review and propose either a delimited text migration or a configuration change in BambooHR.

Talent Connects records the full pipeline status history for each candidate (timestamp, stage, user who updated). We capture this as a custom notes block appended to the BambooHR Applicant record because BambooHR does not expose a native stage-history audit trail on applicants. The block includes the original stage name, date, and acting user for each transition.

Talent Connects pipeline stages per job (for example: Application Review, Phone Screen, Onsite, Offer) map to BambooHR ATS interview stages. We create the interview stages via BambooHR's job stage configuration before any applicant data is imported. Stage names are preserved verbatim; stage ordering follows the Talent Connects sequence.

Talent Connects career page templates, branding settings, and hosted URL structure do not export as structured data. We provide a written inventory of every active career page with its job associations, branding settings, and custom CSS or domain configuration so that your admin can recreate the equivalent in BambooHR's career page builder. This is a manual rebuild item, not a data migration.

Talent Connects AI-Assistant add-on ($49/month) generates candidate ranking scores and suggested keywords. These are transient UI signals that do not persist as structured fields in the Talent Connects data model. We document any ranking values present in exported candidate records as a custom text field ai_ranking_note__c on the BambooHR Applicant for admin reference. The AI ranking workflow itself does not migrate.

Talent Connects mass email templates and send history do not migrate as data. BambooHR ATS includes email and offer letter templates as a separate feature. We deliver a written catalog of Talent Connects email templates with subject lines, body content, and merge field mappings so your admin can recreate them in BambooHR. The send history (delivery rates, open rates) is not recoverable from Talent Connects exports.
