Overview
Moving from WizeHire to BambooHR is a migration from a standalone ATS into a unified HRIS platform that includes an ATS layer. WizeHire is purpose-built for small-business recruiting with integrated DISC+ assessments, hiring coaches, and 100+ job board distribution; BambooHR combines hiring, onboarding, employee records, PTO tracking, and performance management in a single system. We extract Jobs, Candidates, Applications, scorecard values, and screening question responses from WizeHire via coordinated support-assisted export (WizeHire has no documented public bulk API), normalize the records, and load them into BambooHR's applicant tracking module. DISC+ personality profiles and custom scorecard data have no native BambooHR equivalent and are migrated as custom fields on the Applicant or Employee record. BambooHR's interview guides and hiring pipeline stages require manual rebuild by the customer's HR admin post-migration. We do not migrate WizeHire's built-in hiring coach sessions, as these are service records with no stored data object.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Wizehire 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.
Wizehire
Jobs
BambooHR
Job Openings
1:1WizeHire Jobs map to BambooHR Job Openings. The job title, description, location, department, and status (open/closed/paused) transfer directly. BambooHR's plan tier determines the maximum open job openings (5 on Core, 25 on Pro, 50 on Elite), so we flag any account exceeding the target tier limit before migration. WizeHire's job board distribution settings (100+ sites) are not carried over; these require manual reconfiguration within BambooHR's job board integration settings post-migration.
Wizehire
Candidates
BambooHR
Applicants
1:1WizeHire Candidate profiles (name, email, phone, resume file URL, application date) map to BambooHR Applicants. The candidate's primary applied-to job becomes the initial BambooHR Job Opening assignment. Where a single person has applied to multiple WizeHire job postings (creating duplicate WizeHire records), we identify these during the pre-migration deduplication step and present the customer with a consolidation decision before loading into BambooHR, since BambooHR also creates separate applicant records per application unless manually linked.
Wizehire
Applications
BambooHR
Hiring Pipeline Status
1:1WizeHire Application records track a Candidate's progression through pipeline stages (Applied, Screening, Interview, Offer, Hired, Rejected) with timestamps at each transition. We preserve the stage label and transition timestamps as BambooHR Custom Fields on the Applicant record (e.g., wh_stage__c, wh_screening_date__c, wh_offer_date__c) since BambooHR's native ATS tracks current stage but does not store a full stage-transition audit trail per Applicant without custom fields.
Wizehire
DISC+ Assessments
BambooHR
Custom Fields (Applicant)
lossyWizeHire stores DISC+ personality profile results (Dominance, Influence, Steadiness, Conscientiousness dimensions) as structured data per Candidate. BambooHR has no native DISC+ or personality assessment field. We export the DISC+ dimension scores as numeric custom fields (wh_disc_d__c, wh_disc_i__c, wh_disc_s__c, wh_disc_c__c) on the BambooHR Applicant record, and we flag that the customer should configure a BambooHR partner assessment integration if ongoing DISC+ testing is required post-migration.
Wizehire
Scorecards
BambooHR
Custom Fields (Applicant)
lossyWizeHire hiring managers create scorecards with custom evaluation criteria per Job or per Application. Scorecard templates (criteria names and weightings) and per-candidate scores transfer as custom text or numeric fields on the BambooHR Applicant record (e.g., wh_score_overall__c, wh_score_criteria_1__c). We export the criteria labels as part of the record structure so the customer's admin can map them to named custom fields in BambooHR. Scorecard templates themselves do not have a native BambooHR equivalent and are handled as configuration records in the migration inventory.
Wizehire
Screening Questions
BambooHR
Custom Fields (Applicant)
lossyWizeHire stores custom pre-screening question text and candidate responses per application. We export question text and candidate answers as a set of custom fields on the BambooHR Applicant record (e.g., wh_sq_question_1__c, wh_sq_response_1__c). BambooHR does not have a native screening question library object, so each question-response pair is stored as a separate custom field pair. The customer's admin recreates the question library within BambooHR's custom field editor as part of post-migration configuration.
Wizehire
Background Checks
BambooHR
Custom Fields (Employee or Applicant)
lossyWizeHire integrates with third-party background check providers and stores a pass/fail flag and provider name per Candidate or Application. We export the background check status and provider as a custom text field on the BambooHR Employee record (for hired candidates) or Applicant record (for in-process candidates). BambooHR's Compliance module handles I-9 and E-Verify but does not store legacy background check results from an external ATS; these load as historical reference fields requiring admin review post-migration.
Wizehire
Interview Guides
BambooHR
Custom Text Records (Configuration)
lossyWizeHire Interview Guides are structured text documents attached to Jobs that outline questions and evaluation criteria. BambooHR has no native interview guide object. We export interview guide content as structured text records and handle them as configuration data in the migration inventory, with a recommendation to the customer to rebuild these as BambooHR onboarding task templates, hiring checklist items, or a linked document library accessible from the Job Opening record.
Wizehire
Candidate Notes
BambooHR
Notes (Employee/Applicant)
1:1Hiring team notes on WizeHire Candidate profiles (author name, note body, timestamp) map to BambooHR Note records linked to the Employee or Applicant. We preserve the note body, author, and timestamp. Notes attached to hired candidates link to the BambooHR Employee record; notes on active applicants link to the Applicant record.
Wizehire
Candidate Tags
BambooHR
Custom Fields or Labels (Applicant)
lossyWizeHire users apply tags to filter and categorize Candidates. We export tag labels as a comma-separated text field or as BambooHR custom list fields on the Applicant record (e.g., wh_candidate_tags__c). The customer's admin decides during scoping whether to store tags as a text field or as defined list values for filtering in BambooHR's applicant views.
Wizehire
Job Templates
BambooHR
Custom Text Records (Configuration)
lossyWizeHire provides over 100 industry-tested job description templates stored as organizational configuration assets. We export template titles and body text as structured records in the migration inventory. BambooHR does not have a native job template library; the customer's admin uses the exported templates as reference content when creating new Job Openings in BambooHR's editor.
Wizehire
Hiring Pipeline Stages
BambooHR
Hiring Pipeline Stages (Job Opening)
lossyWizeHire's default hiring pipeline (Applied, Screening, Interview, Offer, Hired, Rejected) is customizable per account. We export the custom stage names and their ordering. BambooHR's ATS uses customizable stages per Job Opening; we map the exported stage names to BambooHR stage labels and document any stage that has no direct equivalent in the customer's BambooHR plan tier for admin review.
Wizehire
User/Team Members
BambooHR
Owner Assignment (Job Opening / Applicant)
1:1WizeHire user accounts (hiring managers, admins) are exported with name, email, and role. We map these to owner assignments on BambooHR Job Openings and Applicants by email match. Any WizeHire user without a matching BambooHR user account goes to a reconciliation queue; the customer's BambooHR admin provisions the account before migration continues. Archived WizeHire users are mapped as inactive BambooHR users to preserve historical ownership.
Wizehire
Candidate Messaging History
BambooHR
Notes or Email Log (Employee/Applicant)
lossyWizeHire's in-app candidate messaging threads may have delivery reliability gaps according to user reports. We flag message history for explicit scoping during discovery: if reliable message records exist in WizeHire, we export them as Note records or email-style entries on the corresponding BambooHR Applicant or Employee. If message history is inconsistent or inaccessible, we document the gap in the migration inventory and advise the customer to confirm with WizeHire support whether a full message export is available before we proceed.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discovery and scoping
We audit the WizeHire account across Jobs, Candidates, Applications, DISC+ assessment results, scorecards, screening questions, background check records, pipeline stage configurations, and user accounts. We pair this with a BambooHR plan assessment: Core ($10/employee, 5 job openings), Pro ($17/employee, 25 openings), or Elite ($25/employee, 50 openings). We specifically flag the WizeHire export API limitation, candidate duplicate candidates across multiple postings, any DISC+ profile count requiring custom field creation, and the job opening cap on the target BambooHR plan. The discovery output is a written migration scope document with record counts, a custom field schema draft for BambooHR, and a WizeHire export request submitted to their support team.
WizeHire data export coordination
Because WizeHire has no public bulk export API, we submit a formal data export request to WizeHire support and coordinate the delivery format. We request Jobs (with pipeline stage labels), Candidates (with DISC+ scores, tags, and notes), Applications (with stage timestamps and scorecard values), background check flags, and user accounts. While waiting for export delivery (typically one to two weeks), we prepare the BambooHR custom field schema in a sandbox environment so custom fields for DISC+, scorecards, and screening questions are ready before the production data load begins.
Schema design and custom field configuration in BambooHR
We configure the BambooHR ATS schema before any data loads. This includes creating Job Opening fields matching WizeHire job structure, setting up the hiring pipeline with stage labels mapped from WizeHire's custom pipeline, and provisioning custom fields for DISC+ dimension scores (wh_disc_d__c, wh_disc_i__c, wh_disc_s__c, wh_disc_c__c), overall scorecard scores (wh_score_overall__c), screening question-response pairs, background check status, and candidate tags. Schema is deployed into a BambooHR sandbox or test account first for validation by the customer's HR admin.
Data normalization and deduplication
We normalize the WizeHire export into our migration pipeline format. This step includes parsing DISC+ structured data into individual dimension fields, splitting scorecard criteria into named custom fields, mapping WizeHire pipeline stage labels to BambooHR stage values, and running the candidate deduplication scan. We present the duplicate candidate report to the customer and apply their chosen consolidation approach (merge into a single Applicant, or load as separate Applicants with a cross-reference note) before proceeding.
Production migration in dependency order
We run the production migration into BambooHR in dependency order: Job Openings first (so they exist as targets), then Candidates mapped to Applicants (with owner assignments resolved by email match to BambooHR users), then Application data mapped to Applicant custom fields (DISC+, scorecard, screening question responses), background check flags, candidate notes, and tags. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report. Candidate messaging history is migrated last after explicit scoping confirmation from WizeHire support.
Cutover, validation, and inventory handoff
We freeze WizeHire record writes during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then enable BambooHR as the system of record for hiring. We deliver a written inventory document listing each WizeHire Interview Guide and scorecard template with its content for the customer's admin to rebuild in BambooHR. We do not rebuild WizeHire workflows, job board distribution settings, or hiring coach sessions in BambooHR as part of standard migration scope. We support a one-week post-cutover window for reconciliation issues raised by the customer's HR team.
