Migrate your Team Engine data
HRMS platform built for blue-collar, mobile-first workforces—handling hiring pipelines, two-way SMS/WhatsApp communication, and employee retention for industries like landscaping, construction, and manufacturing.
In its favor
Why people choose Team Engine
The signal that keeps Team Engine on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
Lowest barrier to hiring for seasonal and mobile workforces—two-way SMS and WhatsApp mean crew members stay engaged without needing smartphones or app installs.
Built specifically for blue-collar industries like landscaping, construction, and cleaning; competitors feel generic and require heavy customization for these use cases.
Automated onboarding surveys and referral tracking reduce the manual work of managing a dispersed, multi-lingual workforce.
Full feature suite on one plan—pricing scales by employee headcount rather than by feature tier, so smaller teams get everything they need from day one.
Spanish and multi-language support out of the box; critical for construction and cleaning companies operating in diverse labor markets.
Messaging organization becomes unwieldy at scale—threads are hard to manage and bulk messaging is limited, frustrating HR teams trying to reach large crews quickly.
Platform is purpose-built for hiring and communication; teams that need deeper HRMS features like compensation history, benefits enrollment, or org charting quickly outgrow it.
G2 reviews consistently flag reporting and filtering limitations—custom views and tailored reports require workarounds that slow down data-driven decisions.

Pricing tiers
Team Engine pricing overview
Team Engine prices on a per-employee-headcount model with a single plan structure. The Essential tier starts at $500/month billed annually and covers up to 50 employees. Pricing scales upward as headcount grows, with unlimited user seats included at every level. All features—communication, automation, reporting—are included in the base plan rather than tiered separately.

What gets migrated
Team Engine object support
Object-by-object support for Team Engine migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Jobs
Fully supportedJobs include title, description, location, requirements, and posting status. We map them 1:1 into the destination's job or requisition object. Post-date and closing date are preserved as standard date fields.
Applicants
Fully supportedApplicant records export via CSV with name, contact info, application date, status (applied, screening, hired, rejected), source, and rejection reason. We map these fields directly and flag records where status requires normalization across systems.
Employees
Mapping requiredEmployee records include name, contact details, hire date, and group membership. We map these 1:1 but flag group assignments for review since Employee Groups use custom naming conventions per organization.
Employee Groups
Mapping requiredCustomizable groups organize employees by role, shift, location, or trade. Group names and membership are exported; we map them as tags or custom fields in the destination and flag conflicts with existing taxonomy.
Messages (SMS/WhatsApp)
Mapping requiredMessage threads are stored but organized by contact, not by employee record. Migrating message history requires mapping each thread to the corresponding employee in the destination HRMS. Thread-level metadata (timestamps, direction) is preserved.
Referrals
Mapping requiredReferral records track which employee referred an applicant and the referral status. We map referral source and status but note that not all HRMS platforms have a native referral object—these may become custom fields on the applicant record.
Surveys (Onboarding/Exit)
Mapping requiredAutomated onboarding and exit survey responses are stored. We extract response data and map it to the corresponding employee or applicant record in the destination. Survey questions themselves are not migrated.
Workflow Triggers
Not in this platformAutomated triggered messages (e.g., new hire welcome, milestone reminders) are configuration settings, not data records. These do not export as structured data and are not migratable to a destination system with a different automation engine.
