Overview

What this migration involves

Moving from Voyse to BambooHR is primarily a growth-stage transition. Voyse is built for UK-based software teams under ten employees and holds a 5.0 G2 rating for that niche; organisations that scale beyond that headcount or expand geographically find BambooHR's per-employee pricing model, its ATS and onboarding module, and its 150-plus integration ecosystem a more sustainable long-term platform. We extract employee records and any custom properties from Voyse's export API, flag undocumented field types during scoping, and map each to the corresponding BambooHR Employee field or custom field. Onboarding workflows, document uploads, and stage history are preserved in the migration package. BambooHR's BambooHR Payroll, Benefits Administration, and Employer of Record (powered by Remote) modules are outside the data migration scope and require separate configuration after cutover. We do not migrate Voyse workflows or onboarding automation as code; we deliver a written inventory of every active workflow for the customer's admin to rebuild in BambooHR's checklist and onboarding tools.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

Voyse logo

Voyse

What's pushing teams away

  • Voyse does not sell HRMS software; the FlitStack catalog category 'hrms' is incorrect — there is no employee, payroll, or org-chart data to migrate from a BPO service relationship.
  • Customer 'data' in Voyse is operational call/case data sitting in LiveVox and DOMO tenants Voyse manages on behalf of the client; ownership and export rights are governed by the Master Services Agreement rather than a software contract.
  • Switching BPOs is operationally heavy — new agent training, knowledge transfer, and re-papering compliance for regulated workflows (loan apps, fraud, recoveries) typically takes months.
  • Belize jurisdiction may not satisfy data-residency requirements for highly regulated US, EU, or APAC customers.
  • Outsourced QA and training quality varies per agent cohort; customers who scale beyond a single team often need to onboard a second BPO or move workloads back in-house.

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 Voyse objects map to BambooHR

Each row shows how a Voyse 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.

Voyse

Employee Profile

maps to

BambooHR

Employee

1:1
Fully supported

Voyse employee records map directly to BambooHR Employee. The core fields (first name, last name, email, hire date, department, job title, employment status) migrate as typed BambooHR Employee fields. Any custom properties on the Voyse employee record are flagged during scoping, and undocumented field types are written to a custom field inventory for the customer's admin to decide whether each maps to a BambooHR custom field or is excluded. The BambooHR Employee API requires an active employment status to populate the employee directory correctly.

Voyse

Candidate Record

maps to

BambooHR

Applicant (ATS module)

1:1
Fully supported

Voyse ATS candidate records map to BambooHR Applicants when the BambooHR ATS module is in scope. The Voyse candidate stage pipeline maps to BambooHR Job Application Status values. If the destination BambooHR instance does not include the ATS module, candidate records are migrated as Employee records with a custom field voyse_candidate_source__c set to TRUE and the original application date preserved. Resume files migrate as ContentDocument records attached to the Applicant.

Voyse

Job Opening

maps to

BambooHR

Job

1:1
Fully supported

Voyse job postings map to BambooHR Jobs. The Voyse job status (open, closed, archived, draft) maps to BambooHR Job Status. Job description, requirements, and department assignments migrate to the corresponding BambooHR Job fields. Job openings are created in BambooHR before any Applicant records are imported so that the Job lookup is satisfied at the time of Applicant insert.

Voyse

Department

maps to

BambooHR

Department

1:1
Fully supported

Voyse department assignments on employee and job records map to BambooHR Department. Department is a lookup in BambooHR; we extract every distinct department value from Voyse during scoping, create the corresponding BambooHR Department records first, and use the resolved BambooHR Department ID as the foreign key on every Employee record. This ordering is required because BambooHR enforces referential integrity on the Department lookup.

Voyse

Location

maps to

BambooHR

Location

1:1
Fully supported

Voyse location data (office name, city, region) maps to BambooHR Location. Location in BambooHR is a standalone object used for org chart placement and time-off scheduling context. We extract distinct location values from Voyse employee records during scoping and pre-create the corresponding Location entries before Employee import.

Voyse

Employment Status

maps to

BambooHR

Employment Status

1:1
Fully supported

Voyse employment status values (active, inactive, on leave, terminated) map to BambooHR Employment Status with a direct enumeration match. Termination date and termination reason from Voyse migrate to BambooHR Termination Date and Termination Type fields. We preserve the original Voyse employment status as a custom field voyse_original_status__c for audit purposes if the enumeration values do not map cleanly.

Voyse

Onboarding Document

maps to

BambooHR

New Hire Packet (Employee File)

lossy
Fully supported

Voyse onboarding documents (uploaded files, signed forms, stage completion timestamps) migrate as ContentDocument records attached to the corresponding BambooHR Employee via ContentDocumentLink. Document names are preserved with a voyse_onboarding_ prefix. If Voyse stores onboarding stage completion as a structured field rather than a document, we map it to a BambooHR custom field onboarding_stage__c. The BambooHR New Hire Packet template is outside migration scope and is configured by the customer's admin post-cutover.

Voyse

Onboarding Workflow

maps to

BambooHR

Onboarding Checklist

lossy
Fully supported

Voyse onboarding workflows do not migrate as automation code. We deliver a written inventory of every active Voyse onboarding workflow with its trigger, stage sequence, and assigned tasks. BambooHR's Onboarding Checklist builder is the replacement tool; the customer's HR admin recreates the workflow as a checklist template in BambooHR. Stage history (completed steps and timestamps) migrates as a custom field voyse_onboarding_history__c holding a JSON log of the original stage progression.

Voyse

Custom Property (Employee)

maps to

BambooHR

Custom Field (Employee)

lossy
Fully supported

Voyse custom properties on Employee records (beyond the standard fields) are enumerated during scoping. We create matching BambooHR custom fields on the Employee object before migration begins. Field types are mapped: Voyse text properties become BambooHR short-text or long-text fields; Voyse date properties become BambooHR date fields; Voyse numeric properties become BambooHR number fields; Voyse multi-select properties become BambooHR multiple-select fields. Custom field naming follows the voyse_ prefix convention for traceability.

Voyse

Custom Property (Candidate)

maps to

BambooHR

Custom Field (Applicant)

lossy
Fully supported

Voyse custom properties on candidate records map to BambooHR Applicant custom fields when the ATS module is active. If the destination BambooHR instance does not include ATS, candidate custom properties are stored as Employee custom fields with a voyse_candidate_field__c naming prefix. We enumerate every distinct custom property during scoping and create the destination schema before any record import.

Voyse

Owner

maps to

BambooHR

User

1:1
Fully supported

Voyse Owners (recruiters, HR admins, hiring managers) referenced on candidate and job records map to BambooHR User by email address match. We extract every distinct Voyse owner email during scoping, match against the BambooHR User table, and hold any unmapped owners in a reconciliation queue. The customer's BambooHR admin provisions missing Users before record import resumes. Active/inactive status in BambooHR is set to match the original Voyse owner status.

Voyse

Time-Off Record

maps to

BambooHR

Time Off

1:1
Fully supported

Voyse time-off records (PTO, sick leave, approved absences) map to BambooHR Time Off entries. The Voyse absence type maps to BambooHR Time Off Type, the start and end dates migrate directly, and the status (approved, pending, denied) maps to BambooHR status values. If Voyse stores accrual balances, we create BambooHR Time Off policies as a setup step before balance records are imported.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Voyse onboarding workflows do not migrate as automation

    Voyse onboarding workflows and stage-gate automation are not transferable to BambooHR because the automation models are structurally different. Voyse stores workflow state as a server-side process; BambooHR's onboarding tool uses checklist templates managed by the HR admin. We do not rebuild Voyse workflows in BambooHR. We deliver a written inventory of every active Voyse onboarding workflow with its trigger conditions, stage sequence, task assignments, and completion criteria, so the customer's HR admin can recreate the equivalent checklist in BambooHR. Stage completion history migrates as a custom JSON log field.

  • Custom properties require manual schema creation in BambooHR

    Voyse instances commonly accumulate custom properties beyond the standard employee and candidate fields. BambooHR requires each custom field to be created manually in the Admin Settings before data import. We enumerate every Voyse custom property during scoping, map types, and create the corresponding BambooHR custom fields as a pre-migration step. If the customer's BambooHR plan does not include custom fields (some entry-tier configurations restrict this), we flag the gap and the admin must upgrade or accept exclusion of those properties.

  • BambooHR ATS module is a separate cost and configuration

    BambooHR's applicant tracking functionality is bundled at the Advantage tier or available as a separate ATS add-on ($99-$199/mo) on lower tiers. If the customer's Voyse instance contains active candidate records and the destination BambooHR does not have ATS enabled, we migrate candidates as Employee records with a source flag rather than as BambooHR Applicants. The customer must confirm ATS tier inclusion during scoping to avoid post-migration re-import of candidate data. BambooHR's ATS job opening limits are tiered (5/25/50 openings at Essentials/Advantage/Elite).

  • Document file migration requires pre-created content links

    Voyse onboarding documents and uploaded files migrate as ContentDocument records in BambooHR, but BambooHR's content model requires a ContentDocumentLink record to attach each file to the target Employee or Applicant. We resolve the target record ID at migration time, create the ContentDocument, then immediately create the ContentDocumentLink. If a target Employee record was excluded from migration (for example, due to a scoping filter), its associated documents are held in a deferred queue until the customer confirms whether to include the record or accept document exclusion.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful Voyse to BambooHR data migration

  1. Discovery and scoping

    We audit the Voyse instance across employee record count, candidate volume, job opening count, active onboarding workflows, custom properties (enumerated by type), document attachment count, and owner assignments. We pair this with a BambooHR tier assessment: Essentials ($6-$9/employee/mo) covers core HRIS, employee records, and time-off; Advantage ($8-$12/employee/mo) adds ATS, advanced onboarding, and custom workflows. We confirm whether ATS is required and whether BambooHR Payroll or Benefits Administration are in scope, as these are separate products that do not inherit migrated data automatically. The discovery output is a written migration scope document with record counts per object and a custom field inventory.

  2. Schema pre-creation in BambooHR

    Before any data moves, we create the BambooHR destination schema. This includes pre-creating every Department and Location entry (resolved from Voyse data) so that the Employee import can satisfy those foreign-key lookups. We create all required BambooHR custom fields (Employee and Applicant) matching the Voyse custom property inventory, with field types mapped from Voyse to BambooHR equivalents. If BambooHR ATS is in scope, we pre-create the Job openings so that Applicant records have a valid Job lookup at insert time. We also configure time-off policies if accrual balances are migrating.

  3. Sandbox validation (optional for 50+ employee migrations)

    For migrations with 50 or more active employees or multiple custom fields, we run a Sandbox migration first using a representative data volume. The customer's HR lead spot-checks 15-25 random employee records against the Voyse source, validates that department and location lookups resolved correctly, and confirms that custom fields populated as expected. We deliver a reconciliation report with record counts per object and per-field validation. Any mapping corrections are applied to the production migration script before cutover.

  4. Owner and user provisioning reconciliation

    We extract every distinct Voyse owner email referenced on candidate records, job openings, and onboarding assignments. Each email is matched against the BambooHR User table by email address. Owners without a matching BambooHR User are listed in a reconciliation report for the customer's admin to provision. We cannot import records with an OwnerId that points to a non-existent user; provisioning must complete before the migration script runs in production.

  5. Production migration in dependency order

    We run production migration in record-dependency order: Departments and Locations (no dependencies), then Employees (with DepartmentId and LocationId resolved), then Jobs (if ATS is in scope), then Applicants (with JobId and OwnerId resolved), then Time Off records, then document ContentDocuments with ContentDocumentLinks. Onboarding stage history migrates as a custom JSON field after Employee import. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report; the migration pauses if record rejection exceeds a 1 percent threshold so that the root cause is identified before the next phase begins.

  6. Cutover, validation, and workflow handoff

    We freeze Voyse writes at cutover, run a final delta pass for any records modified during the migration window, then hand off BambooHR as the system of record. We deliver the onboarding workflow inventory document to the customer's HR admin for rebuild in BambooHR's checklist builder. We support a three-day hypercare window to resolve reconciliation issues raised during the first payroll or onboarding cycle. We do not configure BambooHR Payroll, Benefits Administration, or the Employer of Record module as part of the migration scope; these require separate product configuration sessions.

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.

Most migrations land between two and three weeks for accounts under 50 active employees with no custom objects and no document-heavy onboarding sets. Migrations with 50-200 employees, multiple custom fields, active ATS candidate pools, or a required Sandbox validation step move to five to eight weeks because of schema pre-creation time, document ContentDocumentLink resolution, and reconciliation. Very small Voyse instances (under 20 employees, minimal custom properties) can sometimes complete in one to two weeks if scoping is clean.
