Moving Applicant Tracking Systems, or ATS can be daunting and a reason to ‘make do’ with your current ATS. Our Bullhorn REST API software makes the process simple to move to Bullhorn from another recruitment ATS.
Once you sign up with Bullhorn, you are provided with access to their API which is how we perform our magic. Depending on your old ATS, we can either connect to it directly or export your data.
Bullhorn have many standard fields but also custom fields that we take advantage of, we can either set these up for you or work with you to ascertain the correct fields to use, based on your data. For example, some fields are limited to 100 characters whilst some allow millions of characters, we analyse your data to ensure you are starting off in Bullhorn perfectly.
Our scripts import your data into Bullhorn automatically from your old ATS using our dedicated API optimised servers. The time taken to import the data depends on the size of your data, in the past this has ranged from several minutes for just a few thousand rows to 16 hours for millions of rows of data.
What data can you import into Bullhorn from my old ATS?
Awesome question, almost any data really, including
- activities
- appointments
- candidates
- clients
- users
- jobs
- job applications
- leads
- notes
- placements
- tearsheets
This is just a very basic list, each category above also has many subfields that we import.
How much time/money will I save using your Bullhorn Migration Tools?
Your saving depends on the volume of data you currently hold. We have worked with recruiters who estimated a cost of around 10,000 hours to import just partial data. They could either employ data imputing staff for a few months or utilize a method similar to ours. Of course using the human input method, whilst they are inputting historical data, new data is being added to the current ATS minute by minute, growing the job constantly. We can run our processed overnight, meaning when you return to the office the next morning, all of your data is set up and ready to go in Bullhorn.
