Switching from Bullhorn

What you can move to Symphonee today, how to export it from Bullhorn, and what stays behind.

Bring over your Bullhorn candidates and contacts with a CSV export, then check what transfers and what stays behind.

Import your people yourself: the preview shows how each column maps before anything is saved, and for 7 days you can undo the people an import created.

Enterprise plans include migration help: we review your export, map its columns to Symphonee fields and run a test import with you.

Export from Bullhorn

  1. Export the candidates or contacts you want to move from Bullhorn as a CSV file.
  2. What you can export depends on your Bullhorn permissions. For a complete database export, ask your Bullhorn administrator or Bullhorn support.
  3. Keep the column names as exported. You can assign any column to a field in the import preview, so you never need to rename them.

Import into Symphonee

In Symphonee, open People, choose Import and drop the CSV. The preview shows the field detected for each column; assign or leave out any column it did not recognize, then import.

What transfers

Name, email, phone, job title, company, LinkedIn URL and city. Columns named First Name, Last Name, Email, Mobile, Phone, Occupation, Company, LinkedIn URL and City map automatically, and split name columns are combined into one name. In a Mass Mail Opt Out column, a value such as Yes or 1 opts the person out of outreach.

Known gaps

Notes history, attachments and CVs on file, placement history and custom fields do not transfer from a CSV export.

Accounts, jobs and CVs

Import CVs as PDF or DOCX in the same dialog to rebuild parsed profiles. Accounts import from a CSV of company names or websites, and jobs from a CSV with title, company, location and description columns or from job description files (PDF, DOCX or TXT).

After the import

  • Exact email or LinkedIn matches merge into the existing person. Likely duplicates are queued for your review instead of creating silent copies. For 7 days you can undo an import, which removes the people it created that have not been edited or used since.
  • Columns Symphonee does not recognize are skipped rather than imported. The import preview shows the field detected for each column, and you can reassign or leave out a column before you import.
  • If you ever leave, you can export people, accounts, jobs, placements and history at no cost.
