Manatal to HubSpot
Cloud applicant tracking system and recruitment CRM with an Open API.
Manatal data can move into HubSpot, landing mainly in Sales Hub. 2 of 7 mapped objects move directly (Organizations (Clients/Departments) and Contacts (client contacts)); 4 items need manual work and 2 do not move. Plan roughly 2-4 weeks for a small move and 8-14 weeks for a large one.

No price list: cost follows volume, custom objects and how much logic must be rebuilt. Answer four quick questions for a planning range.
The three scenarios
Small migration
Up to 5k candidates and 200 clients
CSV-based import.
Mid migration
5k-50k candidates and 1k clients
API extraction and a custom-object decision.
Large migration
50k+ candidates, multiple teams
Partial replacement with parallel running.

Access, mapping and limits
Start with how data leaves Manatal: what you need to get in, what lands in HubSpot, and what will not.
REST (Open API v3)
An Open API token generated by an Administrator.
Admin is needed to generate tokens and to run exports.
Choose your route
How will you move the data?
No native connector was found.
- You need: An Open API token generated by an Administrator.
- Permission: Admin is needed to generate tokens and to run exports.
Native imports often bring over only some data, so check coverage per object in the mapping below.
Export each object, clean it, then import it into HubSpot.
- CSV export from any list table via the 3-dots menu. It contains only the on-screen columns, filters and page size, and times are in UTC.
- Excel export of candidates per job, including application and pipeline-stage details
- Open API v3 endpoints such as candidates/ and jobs/
Limits: To confirm
Migration and sync tools can move more than a plain import. Confirm which objects each one supports before you choose.
Best when volume is high, custom objects are many or automation is heavy. That is the Large scenario: 8-14 weeks, usually phased.

| Source object | In HubSpot | Moves | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Candidates | Contacts | partial | Candidates have no native HubSpot equivalent. Map them to Contacts, or to a Custom object if ATS-style volume and fields are needed. Resumes go to Files. |
| Organizations (Clients/Departments) | Companies | yes | Exportable as CSV from the Organizations list. The department hierarchy needs a mapping decision. |
| Contacts (client contacts) | Contacts | yes | They need a separate Contacts export, and the organization link is a company name or ID. |
| Jobs | Deals | partial | Jobs may fit Deals or a Custom object, depending on whether a job is a revenue opportunity or a requisition. This is an analyst judgement. |
| Matches (pipeline stage and dates) | Custom objects | manual | Matches link a candidate to a job. They are exportable per job and need association rebuilding using source IDs. |
| Attachments (resumes, CVs) | Files | manual | The Open API and export routes for bulk attachments are not confirmed in the sources reviewed. |
| Notes, activities, emails | Notes | manual | The sources reviewed do not confirm a bulk export route for activity history. |
What to expect
These are Manatal product features with no HubSpot equivalent. Only the resulting data moves.
HubSpot has no ATS multiposting. Keep Manatal or another tool for this.
Stage names and definitions are configured in the workspace, not exported as a ready-made pipeline.
HubSpot has no candidate object.
Attachment export is not confirmed as part of the CSV exports.
Automations do not export.
Add all columns, clear filters, and reconcile row counts against the UI totals.
Confirm the plan with Manatal support, or fall back to CSV and Excel exports.
Use a custom object, or set candidates as non-marketing contacts.
Use V3 endpoints only.
Data governance and compliance
Decide what is allowed to move before anything is exported. Tick each gate once it is agreed.
