Setting up the offer and requisition fields
Some of the information on the offer form and requisition are transferred by default, however if you would like to customize additional fields please reach out to Lever Support for assistance with custom mappings. Additionally, you will want to read through the following help articles to learn how to prepare your offer and requisition data for custom mapping:
Setting up profile form fields
This optional step needs to be completed by a user assigned to a role provisioned with the 'Manage form settings' permission.
- In Lever, navigate to Settings > Forms
-
Create a new form titled “BambooHR New Hire”
- For instructions, see our help article on configuring and using forms.
- Include all the fields that you would like to send to BambooHR
- Add the form to the desired candidate profile and fill out the form
For example, if you want to pass 'First Name', 'Last Name' and 'Preferred Name' fields you would do so by following the above steps and as shown in the screenshot below:
Mapping dropdown values in BambooHR
In order to successfully create a candidate profile in BambooHR with job details, you must ensure that the values in BambooHR exactly match the corresponding Lever dropdown values. These values are mapped as follows:
Lever Field | BambooHR Field |
Job Title | Job Title |
Location | Location |
Department | Division |
Team | Department |
Work Type | Employment Status |
Custom* | Custom* |
|
Capitalization and special characters are important when mirroring your job values. For example, if your job location is listed in Lever as "Omaha, Nebraska - Regional Office" the location in BambooHR must be written exactly the same. For more information, refer to our help article on troubleshooting the BambooHR integration. |
