Mapping Dropdown Values in BambooHR
In order to successfully create a candidate profile in BambooHR with job details, you must assure 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 |
Please note: 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.
