Migrating from Ezekia to Atlas: The Smart Move for Ambitious Recruiters

Recruitment has changed. Clients expect real-time insights and tailored updates, while candidates demand a smooth, engaging experience at every step. To stay competitive, agencies need more than traditional executive search software — they need smart, integrated tools that connect every part of the process.

Ezekia has helped many agencies manage searches in a structured way, but it wasn’t built for the demands of today’s fast-paced, data-driven market. Atlas offers a modern alternative, combining powerful artificial intelligence (AI), seamless integrations, and customisable reporting to help your team work more efficiently and deliver stronger results.

Where does Ezekia fall short for modern recruitment teams?

Ezekia was built to help executive search firms keep processes organised and track assignments efficiently. However, as the client and executive search community expectations rise and competition intensifies, many agencies are finding its limitations more noticeable.

• Disconnected workflows
  While Ezekia offers helpful features, many recruiters still find themselves moving between separate tools for calls, meetings, and reporting. This can lead to fragmented data and extra manual effort to keep everything in sync.
• Heavy manual admin
  Ezekia requires recruiters to manually log notes, update statuses, and piece together information from different channels. This slows down candidate delivery and client engagement, taking precious time away from senior talent leaders.
• Rigid workflows
  Every modern global search firm needs flexibility. Whether you’re running a retained search or managing multiple contingent roles, rigid system structures can hold your team back instead of supporting growth.
• Lack of real-time insights
  Clients expect transparent, data-backed updates throughout the process. Static reports or basic dashboards no longer meet the level of detail and customisation many clients demand.

As a result, agencies with a forward-looking view search for platforms that enable them to work smarter, integrate seamlessly with their tools, and provide richer, more flexible insights. It’s exactly what Atlas was built to deliver, from fully customisable executive search reports to reinventing how automation is powering recruitment.

What makes Atlas the smarter alternative for executive search firms?

Atlas was designed to help recruiters do more than just manage searches. It empowers them to work faster, build stronger relationships, and deliver a premium experience to clients. Here’s what sets it apart:

1. AI-powered sourcing and smart matching
   Atlas actively identifies and recommends the most relevant candidates from your database, reducing manual search time and helping you build stronger shortlists in less time.
2. Seamless integrations with phone and video systems
   No more jumping between tools. With Atlas, recruiters can run calls and video meetings directly within the platform, keeping every conversation connected and easy to track.
3. AI note taker and automatic transcriptions
   Atlas’s AI agents capture call notes and create meeting transcripts automatically, saving time and ensuring no details are lost. Your team can focus fully on the conversation instead of scrambling to take notes.
4. Fully customisable executive search reports
   Deliver polished, data-rich updates to clients, tailored to their needs and brand style. These search reports help position your agency as a strategic partner to fuel human decisions, building long-term trust and continued collaboration.
5. Future-ready, all-in-one design
   Atlas combines automation, AI, and advanced integrations in one modern platform — so your team is always ready to adapt and impress, without relying on disconnected add-ons or workarounds.

How do Atlas’s integrations help in-house teams work smarter?

Juggling separate systems for calls, video meetings, and notes slows recruiters down during the executive search process and fragments important candidate and client information. Atlas solves this by bringing everything into one seamless, integrated workflow.

When your phone and video tools are connected directly to your CRM, every interaction is automatically logged and stored in context. No more switching between platforms or copy-pasting call summaries.

Atlas’s AI note taker and transcription agents go a step further, capturing key details from conversations and summarising them instantly. Recruiters can focus on building rapport instead of scribbling notes, and nothing gets lost in translation.

With everything in one place — from call recordings to follow-up actions — recruiters can move faster and make better-informed decisions. Data silos disappear, and your team gains a complete, up-to-date view of each relationship at any moment.

Ultimately, these ATS integrations free recruiters and in-house talent teams from manual busywork, help them stay organised, and enable them to deliver a higher level of service to clients and candidates alike.

What does the migration from Ezekia to Atlas involve?

Step 1: Receiving your Ezekia export

The process starts when you request and receive your data export from Ezekia. This may be a structured backup or a set of CSV files delivered via direct link or FTP access. Once you have access to the files or credentials, simply pass them to our team. We’ll securely retrieve and store everything needed for your migration.

Step 2: Uploading and preparing your data

We import the Ezekia data into a secure environment powered by Amazon Redshift. Here, we unpack and structure your records, which typically include candidate data, assignment notes, company profiles, and activity logs.

This environment gives us full visibility into how Ezekia stored your information and helps identify the work required to adapt it to Atlas.

Step 3: Mapping and transforming data

Next, we work together to align your Ezekia fields with the Atlas data model. In our Migration Dashboard, you’ll see the fields extracted from Ezekia and our suggestions for how they map to Atlas.

Once approved, we use DBT to transform the data. This includes standardizing formats, resolving missing or duplicate values, and applying Atlas-friendly defaults. We make sure your data is consistent and clean, ready for use.

Step 4: QA and staging validation

With your data transformed, we run a full suite of QA tests to check for field completion, correct formatting, and structural accuracy. We also apply AI-based checks to catch irregularities such as repeated timestamps or similar contact records.

We then load your data into a staging version of Atlas. Your team receives a checklist to confirm that everything is displaying as expected. Any feedback is reviewed and addressed quickly.

Step 5: Launching in production

Once staging is approved, we migrate your data to the live Atlas environment. Whether you’re a new customer or already using Atlas, we handle the transition carefully to avoid duplication or disruption.

All Ezekia files and documents are imported and linked to the correct records. Search indexing is completed, and your data is now fully live in Atlas, ready for immediate use by your team.
