Third-Party ATS Import

01A format any system can produce

Rather than maintaining brittle one-off connectors for every vendor's export quirks, the app publishes one documented JSON shape with a downloadable sample. Every mainstream ATS can export jobs and candidates as CSV or JSON; reshaping that export to the sample structure is a straightforward transform in a spreadsheet or a short script.

Because the format is open and documented, it also works for systems the registry never anticipated — an in-house tool, a shared spreadsheet, or a legacy database. If you can get your data out, you can get it in.

02Drafts first, so nothing goes live by accident

Imported jobs land as drafts, not published listings. That gives you a review step: fix titles, attach the right pipeline stages, add screening questions, and publish on your own schedule. Candidates are added to the talent pool; if your upload includes the applications array, each one is also placed into their job's pipeline at the imported stage — and any placement is yours to adjust afterwards.

03The funnel moves too — stages mapped automatically

The applications array is what makes this a migration rather than a copy: each row links a candidate (by email) to a job (by your old system's job id) at a stage, with the application date preserved. Other systems name stages freely — "phone screen", "onsite", "offered", "shortlisted" — so the importer maps roughly forty common stage vocabularies onto your Expertini pipeline automatically, and anything it doesn't recognise lands safely in Applied instead of failing the row. Day one in the new system looks like the last day in the old one.

04From upload to a working pipeline

After the upload you get a clear result: what was created, what was skipped, and why — for jobs, candidates, and applications separately. Publish your reviewed drafts individually or push a batch out with bulk job posting, then invite your team and pick up hiring where the old system left off. Most migrations are a single afternoon, not a quarter-long project.
