Migrate from Talent Genie to BambooHR

Talent Genie Candidates contain parsed resume fields (name, email, phone, address, work history, education), social media verification flags, source attribution, and custom properties. We export the full candidate profile via the platform's bulk CSV and map it to a BambooHR Hiring-compatible import file format. Contact fields map directly to BambooHR applicant fields (firstName, lastName, email, phone). Custom properties and social verification flags map to custom applicant fields we pre-create in BambooHR during schema preparation. The original resume file attachment transfers as a document attached to the applicant record.

Talent Genie Jobs contain title, department, location, description, status (open/paused/archived), and posting distribution settings. We export active and recently archived jobs as structured records and map them to BambooHR Job Openings. BambooHR's ATS supports up to 5, 25, or 50 open job postings depending on the plan tier; we flag any customer with more active jobs than their tier allows before migration so the admin can archive or close postings before import.

Talent Genie interview scorecards are fully customisable per tenant with variable rating scales (numeric, letter, descriptive) and optional or mandatory criteria. BambooHR does not have a native scorecard builder; instead, we map each scorecard dimension to a named custom applicant field in BambooHR and preserve submitted evaluation scores as field values. Where scorecards include free-text reviewer notes, these attach as Note records linked to the applicant. The scorecard template itself is documented in the handoff report for the admin to recreate as a BambooHR rating field set if needed.

Talent Genie uses configurable pipeline stages (Application Received, Screening, First Interview, Final Interview, Offer, and any custom stages). BambooHR Hiring stages are configurable within each job. We preserve the full stage sequence per job during migration, creating matching stage labels in BambooHR for each open requisition. Stage probability values do not have a direct BambooHR equivalent and are noted as a manual configuration step in the handoff report.

Talent Genie Users correspond to hiring team members with role-based access (Admin, Recruiter, Hiring Manager). We export user email, display name, and role designation and map them to BambooHR Employee records for Recruiters and Hiring Managers. Admin users require BambooHR administrator access, which we flag in the handoff report as a manual step since user provisioning in BambooHR is an admin-controlled action. Password hashes and internal permission flags do not transfer; credentials are set during BambooHR onboarding.

Talent Genie stores both parsed resume content as structured fields and the original file attachment. We transfer the raw file (PDF, DOC, DOCX) and attach it to the corresponding BambooHR applicant record as a document. The parsed text content also populates the custom applicant fields we create for education, work history, and skills so that the information is searchable within BambooHR without opening the attachment.

Talent Genie maintains an immutable chronological event log per candidate covering stage changes, user assignments, scorecard submissions, and status updates. BambooHR does not expose a native audit log for applicant records. We export the full event log per candidate and reconstruct it as a series of dated Note records attached to the applicant, each annotated with the action type and the Talent Genie user who performed it. This preserves the who-and-when context for compliance review.

Talent Genie cross-references candidate profiles against social media signals and stores verification status as boolean or text fields on the candidate record. We create matching custom applicant fields in BambooHR (one per social platform) and transfer the verification status value. BambooHR's API for custom applicant fields requires the field name as it appears in the BambooHR field identifier rather than the display label; we extract the correct internal field names during discovery.

Talent Genie interview scheduling generates calendar entries syncing with Google Calendar or Outlook. The event IDs, timestamps, and invite status export as part of the interview record. We preserve the interview date, time, and location as Job Application stage entries in BambooHR, with the calendar event URL stored as a custom field on the application. Full calendar fidelity (recurring events, room bookings) cannot be replicated in BambooHR's ATS.

Talent Genie recruiters can add custom fields to candidate or job records with no enforced schema. We detect all active custom properties during the discovery scan, export their values per record, and generate a field mapping table that routes each custom property to a pre-created BambooHR custom applicant field. Dropdown-type custom properties in Talent Genie must have their allowed values replicated in BambooHR's custom field options before import to avoid rejection on the candidate import file.
