Overview

What this migration involves

Teamdoor and BambooHR occupy different layers of the HR stack. Teamdoor is an ATS built around a drag-and-drop recruitment kanban, AI-assisted interview scheduling, multi-channel resume aggregation, and a talent pool with skill tagging. BambooHR is a full HRIS that centralizes employee records, time-off management, benefits tracking, onboarding, performance reviews, and optional payroll. The migration must therefore translate a candidate-centric model into an employee-centric model. FlitStack AI accesses Teamdoor via its API (available on Pro and Enterprise plans) to extract candidates, job postings, pipeline stage history, talent pool entries, and custom field data. We map candidate records to BambooHR employee profiles, preserving contact details, employment status, and original hire-date context. Pipeline stages are recreated as BambooHR Hiring pipeline stages where applicable, or mapped to custom fields for audit continuity. Talent pool entries with skill tags migrate to BambooHR employee custom fields. We do not migrate workflows, automation rules, or AI scheduling logic — these must be rebuilt using BambooHR's template-based onboarding and BambooHR's open API for any custom automation. All file attachments are downloaded from Teamdoor and re-uploaded to the corresponding BambooHR employee document records.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

Teamdoor

What's pushing teams away

  • The platform is Taiwan/Japanese-market focused with no English-language support infrastructure, making it unsuitable for English-speaking HR teams or global deployments.
  • API access is gated behind the Pro tier, so mid-market teams on the Basic or Standard plan cannot automate data syncs or build integrations.
  • Recruiters report that pipeline customization options are limited compared to enterprise ATS platforms — complex multi-stage workflows require workarounds.
  • No native HRMS capabilities — Teamdoor manages candidates and jobs but has no concept of employees, onboarding, org charts, or payroll, so companies outgrow it once they hire.
  • Performance degrades when the talent pool exceeds the tier's OCR limit; teams on Basic with no CSV export are forced to manually re-enter data.

Choosing

BambooHR

What's pulling them in

  • Lowest friction entry point for SMBs moving off spreadsheets — intuitive interface means most teams are functional within days, not weeks.
  • Consolidation value: BambooHR merges ATS, onboarding, HR records, time-off, and payroll into a single pane of glass that employees never need to leave.
  • Volume discounts applied automatically by headcount, so pricing scales predictably as the company grows without renewal negotiations.
  • BambooHR reports most customers go live in four to six weeks, making it a realistic commitment for under-resourced HR teams.
  • Award-winning Support Heroes cited frequently in reviews — responsive human support after implementation is a differentiator.

Object mapping

How Teamdoor objects map to BambooHR

Each row shows how a Teamdoor 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.

Teamdoor

Candidate (求職者)

maps to

BambooHR

Employee

1:1
Fully supported

Teamdoor candidate records map to BambooHR employee profiles. The candidate's name, email, phone, and address fields map directly. Employment status (active, inactive, hired) determines the BambooHR hire date field; rejected candidates are stored as inactive employees for talent-pool continuity.

Teamdoor

Candidate status / pipeline stage

maps to

BambooHR

Hiring Stage

1:1
Fully supported

Teamdoor's per-job pipeline stages (Applied, Screening, Interview, Offer, Hired, Rejected) are mapped to BambooHR Hiring pipeline stage values. Each job in Teamdoor maps to one BambooHR Job record; the pipeline stage values are configured in BambooHR Hiring before migration so the pick-list aligns.

Teamdoor

Job Posting (職缺)

maps to

BambooHR

Job Opening

1:1
Fully supported

Teamdoor job postings map directly to BambooHR Job Opening records. Title, description, department, and location fields map field-by-field. Teamdoor's multi-language job descriptions are concatenated into the BambooHR description field with language labels preserved.

Teamdoor

Talent Pool entry

maps to

BambooHR

Employee custom field

1:1
Fully supported

Teamdoor talent pool entries contain source, rating, skill tags, and recruiter notes. Since BambooHR has no native talent-pool object, we create a custom field (Talent_Pool_Source__c) and a custom text field (Talent_Pool_Skills__c) on the employee record to preserve source attribution and skill tags for future hiring campaigns.

Teamdoor

Candidate note / evaluation

maps to

BambooHR

Employee Note

1:1
Fully supported

Teamdoor recruiter notes and evaluation comments on a candidate record map to BambooHR Employee Notes. The note body, author, and original timestamp are preserved. Notes from rejected candidates are attached to the corresponding inactive employee record for talent-pool reference.

Teamdoor

Resume attachment

maps to

BambooHR

Employee File

1:1
Fully supported

Resume and cover-letter files attached to a Teamdoor candidate record are downloaded and re-uploaded to the corresponding BambooHR employee Files section. PDF and DOCX formats are supported; file size limit is 25MB per file per BambooHR storage constraints.

Teamdoor

Interview score / rating

maps to

BambooHR

Employee custom field

1:1
Fully supported

Teamdoor interview ratings stored as numeric or star-score fields on the candidate record migrate to a BambooHR custom number field (Interview_Rating__c) on the employee record. Where Teamdoor stores structured evaluation rubrics, the raw score is preserved as a text custom field for manual review.

Teamdoor

Source channel (recruitment channel)

maps to

BambooHR

Employee custom field

1:1
Fully supported

Teamdoor tracks the source channel for each candidate (LinkedIn, 104, Indeed, referral, etc.) as a candidate property. This maps to a BambooHR custom text field (Recruitment_Channel__c) on the employee record, preserving attribution data for ROI reporting.

Teamdoor

Department / team assignment

maps to

BambooHR

Employee Department

1:1
Fully supported

Teamdoor department assignment on a job posting or candidate record maps directly to BambooHR Employee Department. The department list is pre-created in BambooHR during schema setup; unmapped departments are flagged for admin resolution before the migration runs.

Teamdoor

Custom field (ATS-level)

maps to

BambooHR

Employee custom field

1:1
Fully supported

Teamdoor Pro/Enterprise custom fields on candidate records are discovered via the API and mapped to BambooHR custom fields. Field type translation: pick-list values become BambooHR dropdown custom fields, numeric values become number fields, and free-text fields become text custom fields. Custom field creation in BambooHR is done before migration so the field IDs are available for mapping.

Teamdoor

Workflow / automation rule

maps to

BambooHR

No equivalent

1:1
Fully supported

Teamdoor workflow rules for stage transitions, email triggers, and AI scheduling do not migrate. These must be rebuilt in BambooHR using BambooHR's workflow and approval tools or the BambooHR open API. We export the rule definitions as a JSON reference file for your BambooHR admin to use as a rebuild specification.

Teamdoor

Offer letter (generated in Teamdoor)

maps to

BambooHR

Employee File

1:1
Fully supported

Offer letters generated within Teamdoor and attached to the candidate record are treated as candidate attachments. They download and re-upload to the BambooHR employee Files section under the Documents tab. The offer letter is linked to the employee record even if the candidate has not yet transitioned to a hired status.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Teamdoor pipeline stages are not BambooHR hiring pipeline stages — they require pre-migration configuration

    BambooHR's Hiring module implements pipeline stages as a configurable pick-list scoped to the Job Opening object, not as free-form candidate properties. Teamdoor's per-job pipeline stages must be mapped to BambooHR Hiring stage values that are created in BambooHR's Hiring Settings before migration begins. If a BambooHR admin has not configured the stage pick-list to match Teamdoor's stage names, the migration will write stage values that do not appear in the BambooHR UI dropdown, requiring a post-migration correction pass. FlitStack delivers a stage-mapping specification document as part of the pre-migration schema plan so BambooHR admins can pre-create the correct stage values.

  • Talent pool skill tags and source attribution have no native BambooHR home — custom fields must be planned before import

    Teamdoor's talent pool stores skill tags, source channel, and recruiter assignment as structured candidate properties. BambooHR has no native talent-pool object; these attributes must land as custom fields on the employee record. If the custom fields are not created in BambooHR before migration, the migration engine will write these values into free-text fields or drop them. FlitStack creates a BambooHR custom field manifest (Talent_Pool_Source__c, Talent_Pool_Skills__c, Interview_Rating__c) and provisions them via the BambooHR API before writing records, but this requires a BambooHR admin API key with write permissions to the custom fields endpoint.

  • BambooHR has no native ATS pipeline automation — workflow rules must be rebuilt

    Teamdoor Pro and Enterprise plans include pipeline automation rules such as stage-transition triggers, assignee reassignment, and email notifications tied to pipeline movement. BambooHR Hiring does not expose pipeline automation rules via its public API — stage changes are manual events in the BambooHR UI. Any Teamdoor automation rules tied to pipeline progression must be rebuilt using BambooHR's approval workflows, BambooHR's open API webhooks, or a third-party integration layer. FlitStack exports all Teamdoor automation rule definitions as a JSON specification file so the BambooHR admin or implementation partner has a complete rebuild reference.

  • Teamdoor API rate limits cap export throughput on larger datasets

    Teamdoor's API (available on Pro and Enterprise plans) enforces rate limits on data export requests. For migrations with more than 5,000 candidate records, FlitStack implements pagination and backoff logic to stay within Teamdoor's request quotas, which extends the extraction phase. The delta-pickup window accounts for records created or updated during the extraction window, but a lengthy extraction phase increases the risk of in-flight changes during the migration run.

  • Resume and attachment files must be individually downloaded and re-uploaded — no bulk export

    Teamdoor stores file attachments (resumes, cover letters, offer letters) as individual download URLs tied to each candidate record. BambooHR's file upload API accepts one file per request. For candidates with multiple attachments, each file is handled individually. Teams with 500+ candidate records, each with 2–3 attachments, face a migration run time that is attachment-bound rather than record-bound. FlitStack downloads all attachments to a staging storage bucket and uploads them to BambooHR in parallel threads, but the per-file API round-trip is the dominant timeline factor for attachment-heavy datasets.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful Teamdoor to BambooHR data migration

  1. Audit Teamdoor data inventory and extract via API

    FlitStack connects to the Teamdoor API using Pro/Enterprise credentials and inventories all candidates, job postings, pipeline stages, talent pool entries, and custom field definitions. We pull a full schema snapshot including field types, pick-list values, and relationship links between candidates and jobs. This audit identifies any records with missing required fields, duplicate email addresses, and attachments that exceed BambooHR's 25MB file size limit. The audit report is shared with your team before migration planning begins.

  2. Configure BambooHR Hiring stages and custom fields

    Before any records move, FlitStack creates the BambooHR custom fields identified in the Teamdoor audit (Talent_Pool_Source__c, Talent_Pool_Skills__c, Interview_Rating__c, Recruitment_Channel__c, Salary_Expectation__c) via the BambooHR API. We also deliver a stage-mapping specification so your BambooHR admin can pre-create the Hiring pipeline stages that match Teamdoor's pipeline stage names. Schema setup must be confirmed complete before the sample migration runs.

  3. Run sample migration with field-level diff

    A representative slice of 100–300 records — spanning candidates at different pipeline stages, hired employees, rejected candidates with talent-pool entries, and a sample job posting with attachments — migrates first. FlitStack generates a field-level diff comparing source Teamdoor values to destination BambooHR values for every mapped field. You review the diff and confirm stage mapping, custom field population, and attachment linkage before the full run is approved.

  4. Execute full migration with delta-pickup window

    The full migration runs against BambooHR using bulk-compatible API writes. A delta-pickup window opens at migration start and runs for 24–48 hours after the initial load completes, capturing any Teamdoor records created or updated during the cutover. All file attachments are downloaded from Teamdoor and re-uploaded to the corresponding BambooHR employee Files section. FlitStack logs every API operation in an audit trail with source record ID, destination record ID, field mappings applied, and any errors encountered.

  5. Validate, reconcile, and deliver automation export

    Post-migration, FlitStack runs a reconciliation report comparing Teamdoor record counts by type (candidates, jobs, talent pool entries) against BambooHR employee and job opening counts. Any unmatched records are flagged with root-cause codes (missing email, duplicate, schema mismatch). The automation rule export JSON is delivered alongside the migration report so your BambooHR admin has a complete specification for rebuilding Teamdoor workflow rules in BambooHR's native tools.

Platform deep dives

Context on both ends of the pair

Source

Strengths

  • Visual Kanban pipeline with drag-and-drop candidate cards that mirrors how HR teams mentally track recruiting progress.
  • Multi-channel inbox aggregates applications from 104, LinkedIn, Facebook, and manual sources into a single candidate view.
  • Built-in analytics with stage-level conversion rates and source attribution without requiring a BI tool.
  • OCR-enabled searchable talent pool on Standard and above — up to 10,000 resume scans on Pro.
  • Employer-branded careers page builder with custom colors and banners, no-code.

Weaknesses

  • API access is gated behind Pro tier, limiting automation and migration options for Basic and Standard customers.
  • Platform has no employee management, onboarding, org chart, or payroll features — it is ATS-only.
  • English-language documentation and support are minimal; the product is primarily designed for Mandarin and Japanese-speaking markets.
  • Custom pipeline stage configuration is per-job, which creates schema variation that complicates bulk migrations.
  • Data residency is Taiwan/Japan/Singapore — problematic for GDPR-sensitive EU deployments.

Destination

Strengths

  • Single platform consolidating ATS, onboarding, HR records, payroll, and time-off reduces system sprawl for SMBs.
  • Fast implementation — BambooHR reports four to six weeks from kickoff to go-live for most customers.
  • Per-employee pricing with automatic volume discounts makes cost predictable as headcount grows.
  • Strong customer support reputation (Support Heroes) cited consistently across G2, Capterra, and direct testimonials.
  • Well-documented API with UTF-8 encoding, clear field types, and HTTPS-only access.

Weaknesses

  • Mobile application is significantly limited compared to the desktop experience, frustrating remote and field workers.
  • Companies above 150–200 employees frequently outgrow the platform's feature depth and customization surface.
  • Limited advanced reporting and analytics compared to enterprise HR platforms — custom report building is the ceiling.
  • PTO and profile customization are pain points — non-standard accrual policies and complex org structures require workarounds.
  • Document management and attachment handling lack the granularity of dedicated document-centric HR systems.
