TalentLyft to HubSpot
End-to-end recruiting software (ATS, CRM/Engage, careers page and recruitment marketing).
TalentLyft data can move into HubSpot, landing mainly in Sales Hub. 1 of 5 mapped objects move directly (Candidates); 3 items need manual work and 2 do not move. Plan roughly 1-3 weeks for a small move and 6-12 weeks for a large one.

API script and custom objects.
Large migration

Timeline ranges are planning estimates, not a quote. A partner confirms scope after discovery.
Access, mapping and limits
Start with how data leaves TalentLyft: what you need to get in, what lands in HubSpot, and what will not.

- You need: API access token generated from the profile menu under Integrations.
- Permission: To confirm
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 of selected candidates from Engage > Candidates (emailed ZIP download link; columns follow the table view)
- Customer API for candidates, jobs and departments
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: 6-12 weeks, usually phased.

In TalentLyft
In HubSpot
Hover or tap anything on the left to see where it lands.
| Source object | In HubSpot | Moves | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Candidates | Contacts | yes | CSV export or API GET /v2/candidates, then import to HubSpot. Use a custom property or label to mark them as candidates. |
| Jobs / vacancies | Custom objects | partial | The API exposes jobs. HubSpot has no native vacancy object, so a custom object or Deals is needed. |
| Departments | Custom objects | partial | Readable via the API. Usually kept as a property rather than an object. |
| Candidate tags and skills | Contacts | partial | Endpoints exist for tags and skills. They map to multi-select properties. |
| Clients / companies and BD pipelines | Companies | manual | No client or BD objects were found in the sources. Confirm in the account whether they exist. |
What to expect

How much to trust each section, and where it comes from.
