ATS Migration Guide: Switch to CurriculoATS in 15 Minutes
Switching applicant tracking systems doesn’t have to take weeks. Most ATS migrations involve 6–12 weeks of vendor calls, data mapping sessions, and training workshops. With CurriculoATS, most teams are fully operational within 15 minutes — and your historical data transfers in under 48 hours.
Step 1: Export Your Data from Your Current ATS
Every major ATS provides data export. Here’s how to get your data out:
- Greenhouse: Admin → Configure → Data Exports → Full Candidate Export (CSV). Include custom fields, scorecards, and activity logs. Average export time: 2–4 hours for large datasets.
- Lever: Settings → Data Management → Export All Data. Lever exports as CSV with separate files for candidates, opportunities, and feedback. Request via support if self-serve isn’t available on your plan.
- Workable: Account Settings → Export Data. Workable provides CSV exports with candidate profiles, pipeline stages, and interview notes.
- Ashby: Settings → Data Export. Ashby offers structured CSV exports with candidate records and pipeline history.
Step 2: Sign Up for CurriculoATS (Free)
Create your account at ats.curriculo.me/sign-up. The free Starter plan includes all features — AI scoring, pipelines, Slack, analytics, SSO — for 1 active job with unlimited team members. No credit card required. You can evaluate CurriculoATS with real data before committing.
Step 3: Import Your Candidate Data
CurriculoATS supports structured data import from any ATS:
- CSV Import: Upload your exported CSV file. CurriculoATS auto-maps standard fields (name, email, phone, resume, stage, notes) and flags any custom fields for manual mapping.
- Resume Bulk Upload: Drag and drop up to 500 resumes (PDF, DOCX) at once. The AI parses each resume and creates candidate profiles automatically.
- Email Forwarding: Forward candidate emails to your CurriculoATS inbox. The system creates profiles from email attachments and body text.
Most migrations from Greenhouse, Lever, Workable, or Ashby complete in under 48 hours. No vendor calls. No implementation manager. No professional services fee.
Step 4: Configure Your Hiring Pipeline
Set up your hiring stages in the visual pipeline builder. CurriculoATS comes with a default pipeline (Applied → Screening → Interview → Offer → Hired) that you can customize per role. Add workflow automations — auto-email candidates on stage changes, require scorecards before advancing, set SLA timers for response deadlines.
Step 5: Connect Your Tools
CurriculoATS integrates with the tools your team already uses:
- Google Workspace — Calendar sync, Gmail integration, SSO
- Slack — Real-time hiring notifications in your team channels
- REST API — Push candidate data to any HRIS or custom tool
What You’re Leaving Behind (and Why That’s Good)
When you switch to CurriculoATS, you leave behind per-seat fees that punish team growth, keyword-matching algorithms that reject qualified candidates, 6–12 week implementation timelines, and annual price escalation clauses (Greenhouse increases 3–7% per year). You gain outcome-based AI scoring that evaluates what candidates actually accomplished, flat pricing at $100/month (early bird: $50/month) regardless of team size, and a system that was live in the time it took to read this guide.
