In its favor
Why people choose Talent Genie
The signal that keeps Talent Genie on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
Broad job board distribution — Talent Genie integrates with over 2000 job boards and social media platforms, allowing recruiters to post a single requisition across many channels simultaneously from one dashboard.
AI candidate ranking and screening — the platform applies AI scoring to resume content, reducing manual screening time and helping recruiters surface the most relevant applicants for each role.
End-to-end recruitment workflow — from requisition and candidate sourcing through interview scheduling, scorecard evaluation, and offer management, the platform covers the full hiring lifecycle in one place.
Interview scheduling automation — calendar sync and auto-scheduling reduce the back-and-forth of coordinating candidate interviews across busy hiring teams.
Paperless onboarding path — once a candidate is selected, the platform supports a digital onboarding workflow, reducing admin overhead for HR teams transitioning away from paper-based processes.
Pricing opacity and per-user costs — the platform publishes no public pricing, requiring a sales call, which frustrates teams that want to compare costs upfront before committing.
Limited third-party integrations beyond job boards — while posting integrations are strong, deeper integrations with HRIS, payroll, or background-check systems are not well documented, causing friction for teams with complex stacks.
Custom hiring stages can become disorganised at scale — as companies add more roles and custom pipelines, the stage configuration becomes harder to maintain consistently across the team.
Small review corpus makes it hard to validate claims — with very few verified user reviews available publicly, prospective customers have limited peer evidence to assess whether the platform performs as marketed.

What gets migrated
Talent Genie object support
Object-by-object support for Talent Genie migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Candidates
Fully supportedThe core applicant record in Talent Genie contains parsed resume data, contact details, social media verification flags, and source attribution. We export the full candidate profile and map it to standard Contact/Applicant schemas in the destination system.
Jobs
Fully supportedJob requisitions are first-class objects with title, department, location, description, and posting status. We migrate open jobs as structured records and flag any that were archived or paused in Talent Genie so they land with correct status in the destination.
Users
Mapping requiredTalent Genie users correspond to hiring team members with role-based access (Admin, Recruiter, Hiring Manager). User email and role transfer cleanly, but password hashes and internal permission flags require remapping to the destination's access model.
Interview Scorecards
Mapping requiredScorecards are customisable per-role evaluation forms with rating scales and free-text notes. The schema varies by customer configuration. We extract the scorecard template and all submitted evaluations, mapping numeric ratings and named criteria to equivalent fields in the destination ATS.
Hiring Pipeline Stages
Mapping requiredTalent Genie uses configurable pipeline stages such as Application Received, Screening, First Interview, Final Interview, and Offer. Stage names and counts vary between tenants. We preserve the full stage history per candidate and apply a normalised stage set to the destination.
Resume Files
Fully supportedParsed resume content is stored as structured fields; the original file attachment is available for export. We transfer both the parsed text and the raw file, attaching the document to the candidate record in the destination.
Audit Trail
Mapping requiredTalent Genie maintains an immutable audit log of candidate activity: stage changes, user assignments, scorecard submissions, and status updates. We export this as a chronological event log and append it as a notes or activity feed on the destination record.
Social Media Verification
Mapping requiredThe platform cross-references candidate profiles against social media signals. These verification flags are stored as custom boolean or status fields on the candidate record. We map them to equivalent verification or reference-check fields in the destination.
Calendar Sync Records
Mapping requiredInterview scheduling generates calendar entries that sync with Google Calendar or Outlook. The linked calendar event IDs and timestamps are exported as part of the interview record. Full calendar fidelity depends on the destination system's calendar integration.
Custom Properties
Mapping requiredRecruiters can add custom fields to candidate or job records. We detect all custom properties during the discovery scan, export their values per record, and generate a field mapping table that routes each custom field to its destination equivalent.
Reports and Analytics
Not in this platformAggregated analytics such as time-to-hire, source effectiveness, and pipeline conversion rates are calculated on-read from underlying data rather than stored as exportable records. We do not migrate computed report snapshots; customers should re-run reports in the destination system after migration.
Careers Page Configuration
Not in this platformThe bespoke careers page is a hosted, brand-configured asset tied to Talent Genie's domain and branding settings. We do not migrate the careers page itself; the destination system's careers page must be configured separately.
Paperless Onboarding Data
Not in this platformOnboarding documents and e-signature records are stored within a separate onboarding module that uses its own document storage and compliance schema. We do not currently migrate onboarding artefacts; these must be re-collected in the destination HRIS.
