Migrate from Manatal to 100Hires with a test-first plan
Map the data you need, validate a small import, and confirm the cutover before changing systems. Compare API access and documented coverage before engineering work begins.
Manatal provides recruiting software for both companies and agencies. A switch should depend on the workflows, data, and integrations your team actually needs, not a generic claim that one ATS fits everyone.
The clearest technical difference is API access. Manatal lists Open API on Enterprise Plus, while its Custom plan includes Enterprise Plus features. 100Hires includes API access with paid plans at no extra cost, although a company must be verified before its API keys become active.
If an API is part of your migration or long-term integration plan, confirm entitlement, token issuance, endpoint coverage, webhook behavior, and export format before signing a contract.
100Hires and Manatal API differences that affect migration
100Hires
The table describes the public documentation reviewed in July 2026. It does not prove that every endpoint is enabled for every account or that similarly named resources have identical fields. Test the exact reads and writes your integration needs.
Check the commercial gate before building
Manatal publishes Professional at $19 per user per month, Enterprise at $39, and Enterprise Plus at $59. The annual-billing equivalents shown are $15, $35, and $55 per user per month. Open API appears on Enterprise Plus. The Custom plan is priced on demand and includes Enterprise Plus features.
100Hires publishes account-level plans rather than Manatal's per-user model. API access is included with paid plans, but access is not unrestricted: an unverified-company key returns 401 Unauthorized, and new unapproved keys start with a documented limit of 100 requests per 10 minutes.
Compare the total plan you need, not the cheapest headline price. Manatal may cost less for some small teams that do not need Enterprise Plus. For API-dependent teams, calculate the required Manatal tier and user count against the relevant 100Hires account plan.
Inspect the contract before you write the client
The 100Hires API uses the production base https://api.100hires.com/v2 and a bearer API key tied to one user and company. Download the OpenAPI specification, map the operations you need, and run read-only smoke tests before testing writes on disposable records.
- Base URL: https://api.100hires.com/v2
- OpenAPI: https://api.100hires.com/v2/openapi.json
- Company verification required
- Full CRUD documented for candidates, jobs, applications, and notes
Use a test-first Manatal migration process
100Hires can help migrate candidate and job data from another ATS. The exact scope depends on the export files, fields, attachments, record volume, and history available from the source account.
| Step | What happens | Decision gate |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Export and scope | Request the available Manatal export and list the records, files, fields, and history you need | Do not assume an API is required or that a CSV contains every object |
| 2. Data review | 100Hires reviews the export structure and maps source fields to destination fields | Resolve missing or incompatible fields before import |
| 3. Test import | Import a small representative dataset first | Check counts, ownership, custom fields, attachments, and application history |
| 4. Full migration | Run the agreed import after the sample is approved | Freeze or reconcile changes made after the source export |
| 5. Verification and cutover | Your team verifies the imported data and switches active work to 100Hires | Cancel the old system only after required data and integrations are confirmed |
For a simple candidate migration, you can also export a CSV and use the 100Hires candidate importer. Resume files can be uploaded in bulk. For a managed migration, send the current ATS name, approximate candidate and job counts, required data, and target timeline to support so the team can confirm scope and commercial terms.
