Overview
AgileATS and Recruit CRM serve different market segments, and the migration reflects that shift. AgileATS is purpose-built for government contractors with OFCCP compliance workflows, clearance tracking, and structured Agile Recruiting stages baked into every hire. Recruit CRM targets small to midsize recruitment agencies with a unified ATS and CRM layer, a documented REST API, and over 1,000 third-party integrations. There is no direct API endpoint on the AgileATS side, so all data leaves as structured export files (CSV or JSON dumps) that we validate, clean, and transform into Recruit CRM's REST API import format. We flag clearance-level custom fields, EEO flags, and partner user assignments because these require explicit mapping decisions rather than 1:1 passes. Compliance reports generated in AgileATS do not migrate as objects; the underlying candidate data does, so compliance teams reconstruct reports in Recruit CRM using the migrated field inventory. Workflows, automations, and the Agile Recruiting framework itself do not migrate. We deliver a written inventory of every active workflow so your admin can rebuild them in Recruit CRM's automation layer post-cutover.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.
AI proposes the map; you confirm before any record moves.
Parent–child, lookups, and ownership stay linked.
Calls, emails, meetings — with original timestamps.
Documents, uploads, and inline notes move with the record.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a AgileATS object lands in Recruit CRM & ATS, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.
Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.
AgileATS
Candidate
Recruit CRM & ATS
Candidate
1:1AgileATS Candidates map directly to Recruit CRM Candidates. We extract all standard profile fields (name, email, phone, address, status, source) and map them to Recruit CRM's candidate object. Custom fields for clearance type, clearance status, and EEO flags require explicit mapping decisions during scoping because these are GovCon-specific fields that Recruit CRM stores as standard custom fields rather than native compliance objects. We flag any custom fields that cannot be represented in Recruit CRM without a custom object definition.
AgileATS
Job
Recruit CRM & ATS
Job
1:1AgileATS Jobs (open requisitions with title, location, clearance requirements, and pipeline assignment) map to Recruit CRM Jobs. The job-to-candidate association migrates as a linked relationship so pipeline history carries over. We flag any clearance-level requirements stored as custom fields on the Job object for explicit mapping to Recruit CRM's custom field schema.
AgileATS
Pipeline Stage
Recruit CRM & ATS
Pipeline Stage
lossyAgileATS Agile Recruiting stages are customer-configured with variable names and counts per instance. We extract the complete stage inventory during scoping, map each to a Recruit CRM pipeline stage, and create a stage mapping document. Stages with no direct Recruit CRM equivalent are flagged for the customer to define before migration. Stage ordering and probability percentages transfer where supported.
AgileATS
Offer
Recruit CRM & ATS
Offer
1:1Offer records including compensation details, start dates, and status link to the migrated candidate record via the candidate's unique identifier. We preserve the offer-to-candidate relationship throughout the migration so that offer history remains accessible in Recruit CRM.
AgileATS
Custom Field (clearance type)
Recruit CRM & ATS
Custom Field
1:1Security clearance level and status are stored as structured custom fields on candidate records in AgileATS. We preserve these values explicitly in Recruit CRM custom fields of the same type. Candidates with expired clearance or pending reinvestigation are flagged with a note so the recruiting team can follow up post-migration.
AgileATS
Custom Field (EEO flag)
Recruit CRM & ATS
Custom Field
1:1EEO compliance flags (race, ethnicity, gender, veteran status, disability status) migrate as read-only custom fields in Recruit CRM. These fields support compliance reconstruction but are not rendered as native compliance reports. We document the mapping from each AgileATS EEO field to its Recruit CRM equivalent so the compliance team can validate output after cutover.
AgileATS
Custom Field (partner assignment)
Recruit CRM & ATS
Contact or Custom Field
1:1AgileATS tracks partner user assignments as a separate billing class with distinct permissions. We extract partner assignments linked to candidate records and either map them to Recruit CRM Contacts (if the partner is a hiring manager or client contact) or flag them as a custom field requiring a permissions review in Recruit CRM because the platform does not have an equivalent partner user concept.
AgileATS
Attachment (resume, certification, background form)
Recruit CRM & ATS
Attachment
1:1AgileATS stores candidate attachments in a separate file store. We export files alongside record data and re-attach them in Recruit CRM linked to the corresponding candidate record. We flag any files that exceed Recruit CRM's attachment size limits or use unsupported formats. Binary attachments require a separate pass after record import completes.
AgileATS
User / Recruiter
Recruit CRM & ATS
User
1:1AgileATS User records include role, clearance level, and org assignment. We resolve users by email match to Recruit CRM users. Any AgileATS Recruiter without a matching Recruit CRM user is held in a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision before record import resumes. Partner Users require a separate decision during scoping because Recruit CRM's permission model differs.
AgileATS
Note and Activity History
Recruit CRM & ATS
Note
1:1Recruiter notes and activity timestamps export from AgileATS with their original timestamps. We map these to Recruit CRM Notes linked to the candidate record. Activity ordering is preserved by setting the note creation date to the original AgileATS timestamp. Activity types (call, email, meeting) are noted in the note body where Recruit CRM does not support a native activity subtype.

Gotchas + challenges
Platform-specific issues from each side, plus the pair-specific challenges that don't show up on either platform's page on its own.
AgileATS gotchas
No public API requires structured file-based migration
Candidate storage caps differ by tier and are enforced
Compliance report data lives in exports, not structured records
Partner users are a distinct billing class
Recruit CRM & ATS gotchas
API rate limits are license-scaled and can throttle bulk migration
Custom field schemas vary per organization and require field-level mapping
Files and email attachments require separate extraction and re-upload
Email sequences and automation logic do not transfer between platforms
Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Export request and data audit
We guide the customer through requesting a full structured export from AgileATS (CSV or JSON dump including Candidates, Jobs, Offers, Custom Fields, Attachments, Users, and Notes). We audit the export against the customer's reported record counts to identify gaps before any transformation work begins. Any discrepancy between the export volume and the customer's known record count triggers a conversation about storage cap enforcement or soft-delete policies before we proceed.
Scoping and custom field inventory
We extract every custom field definition from the AgileATS export including field name, type, and the objects it applies to. We map clearance fields, EEO flags, and partner assignment fields to their Recruit CRM equivalents, flagging any that require a custom object definition or a Recruit CRM admin to pre-create. We also inventory pipeline stage names and offer fields to confirm completeness before transformation.
Transformation and staging
We transform the AgileATS export schema into Recruit CRM's import format, applying the custom field mapping, resolving user-to-user lookups by email match, and structuring offers as linked sub-records under their candidate. Attachments are staged separately for the binary file pass. We run a validation pass to check required fields, field type compatibility, and duplicate candidates before staging for import.
Recruit CRM API ingestion
We import staged records into Recruit CRM using their REST API with batch chunking and error handling. Each object type (Candidate, Job, Offer, Note) runs as a separate phase with row-count reconciliation before the next phase begins. We handle rate-limit responses with exponential backoff and log any rejected records for correction and retry within the same migration window.
Attachment re-association
After candidate records exist in Recruit CRM, we re-associate exported files (resumes, certifications, background forms) to their corresponding candidate records. We flag any files exceeding Recruit CRM's size limits or unsupported formats for manual handling. File-to-candidate linkage is preserved through the candidate's unique identifier carried through all phases.
Cutover, validation, and workflow handoff
We freeze AgileATS writes during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, and enable Recruit CRM as the system of record. We deliver a written inventory of every AgileATS workflow and pipeline automation with a Recruit CRM equivalent recommendation. We support a one-week post-cutover window for reconciliation issues. Workflow rebuild, automation configuration, and compliance report validation are outside the migration scope and require the customer's admin to complete using the handoff documentation.
