Overview
Moving from Arcoro to Recruit CRM is a platform pivot from construction-focused HRIS with ATS capabilities to a purpose-built ATS and CRM for recruitment agencies. Arcoro's data model centers on Employees, Applicants, time entries tied to job cost codes, and construction certifications; Recruit CRM's model centers on Candidates, Clients (companies with open roles), Jobs, and Placements. These are fundamentally different schemas, so the migration requires a structural object redesign rather than a direct field-to-field copy. We extract Arcoro applicant records and map them to Recruit CRM Candidates, map Arcoro Companies to Recruit CRM Clients, and redesign Arcoro's onboarding task and benefit enrollment data as notes and custom fields on the Candidate record. Time entries tied to job cost codes have no native Recruit CRM equivalent and require a custom-field strategy. We do not migrate Arcoro Workflows, onboarding logic, or payroll processing; we deliver a written inventory of these for the customer's admin to rebuild in Recruit CRM.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Arcoro 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.
Arcoro
Applicant
Recruit CRM & ATS
Candidate
1:1Arcoro ATS applicant records map directly to Recruit CRM Candidate records. We extract the full applicant profile including resume attachments, stage history, sourcing channel, scorecards, and notes. Arcoro applicant stage names are mapped to Recruit CRM pipeline stage values during import. The candidate email address is the primary dedupe key; duplicates are flagged for the customer admin to resolve before final insert.
Arcoro
Company
Recruit CRM & ATS
Client
1:1Arcoro Companies map to Recruit CRM Clients. In the construction HR context, Arcoro Companies may represent prime contractors or subcontractors the firm works with; in Recruit CRM, these become Clients with associated open job positions. We preserve the Arcoro company address, contact information, and industry classification as Client fields.
Arcoro
Job Posting (ATS)
Recruit CRM & ATS
Job
1:1Arcoro job postings map to Recruit CRM Job records. Job title, description, location, employment type, and salary range migrate directly. Status mapping translates Arcoro posting status (active/paused/closed) to Recruit CRM Job status values. Job-to-Client association is resolved by matching the Arcoro job's associated company to the mapped Recruit CRM Client record.
Arcoro
Employee
Recruit CRM & ATS
Candidate (hired)
1:manyArcoro Employee records that represent hired candidates map to Recruit CRM Candidate records with a Placement record linked. We identify the employment relationship by matching Arcoro Employee to the Arcoro Applicant who was hired, preserving hire date, job title, department, employment status, and manager hierarchy. Former employees map as inactive Candidates with a terminated date and status field.
Arcoro
Onboarding Task
Recruit CRM & ATS
Candidate Note + Checklist (manual rebuild)
lossyArcoro onboarding tasks and document checklists do not have a direct Recruit CRM equivalent. We export completed onboarding tasks as time-stamped notes on the Candidate record, preserving the task name, completion date, and assigned owner. The workflow state (active vs. completed) and any conditional logic in onboarding sequences do not migrate and are documented for the customer's admin to rebuild in Recruit CRM's task management system.
Arcoro
Time Entry
Recruit CRM & ATS
Custom Field on Candidate or Placement
lossyRecruit CRM does not have a native time entry object. Arcoro time entries tied to job cost codes and pay periods are extracted and mapped to a custom multi-line text or note field on the Candidate or Placement record. We apply a crosswalk table to align Arcoro cost codes with the customer's internal reporting format. Any overtime calculations or pay period summaries are preserved as structured custom fields.
Arcoro
Payroll Record
Recruit CRM & ATS
Placement Note
1:1Arcoro payroll history (earnings, deductions, tax withholdings, pay period summaries) has no native Recruit CRM equivalent. We export historical payroll records as read-only notes on the Candidate or Placement record, preserving compensation context and pay period totals. Payroll processing itself does not migrate; the customer configures payroll in their chosen payroll platform post-migration.
Arcoro
Benefit Enrollment
Recruit CRM & ATS
Candidate Custom Field or Note
1:1Benefit enrollment records (active plans, coverage levels, election dates) are exported from Arcoro and mapped to custom fields or structured notes on the Candidate record. Plans with no direct Recruit CRM equivalent are flagged in the migration report with a recommendation for the customer to re-enroll in Recruit CRM's benefits module or a third-party benefits administration tool post-migration.
Arcoro
Certification and Training
Recruit CRM & ATS
Candidate Credential
1:1Arcoro certification records (issue dates, expiration dates, renewal alerts, credential type) map to Recruit CRM Credential records on the Candidate profile. We preserve expiration dates to enable renewal alert setup in Recruit CRM. OSHA certifications, apprenticeship credentials, and trade licenses that are specific to construction are mapped as credential types the customer can configure in Recruit CRM's credential object.
Arcoro
Custom Field (CoreHR)
Recruit CRM & ATS
Candidate Custom Field
1:1Arcoro CoreHR custom fields on Employee and Applicant records are discovered via the export configuration interface, mapped by data type to equivalent Recruit CRM custom fields on the Candidate object. Text fields map to text, numeric fields map to number, date fields map to date, and picklist values map to picklist or multi-select picklist depending on the original field structure. Custom field mapping is validated against a Recruit CRM sandbox before production import.
Arcoro
Attachment and Document
Recruit CRM & ATS
Candidate Document (via upload)
1:1Onboarding paperwork, signed agreements, resumes, performance reviews, and other employee documents are exported from Arcoro as file attachments and mapped to the corresponding Candidate record in Recruit CRM. We use Recruit CRM's document upload capability to attach files directly to the candidate profile. Document metadata (upload date, file type, file size) is preserved in a note on the record for audit trail purposes.

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.
Arcoro gotchas
API access requires direct contact with Arcoro sales
No published pricing or tier feature matrix
Time entry sync delays affect cutover planning
Job cost code structure incompatibility with Foundation ERP
CoreHR custom exports require prior configuration
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
Discovery and module audit
We audit the source Arcoro instance across all licensed modules — CoreHR, ATS, Payroll, Onboarding, and any active ERP integrations. We identify which modules contain candidate, client, job, and placement data that will migrate to Recruit CRM, and which modules (payroll, time tracking, construction certifications) require a custom field or note strategy. We also confirm the API access status and request Arcoro BDAPI credentials if not yet provisioned. The discovery output is a written migration scope document listing every object, its volume, and its mapping strategy.
Schema design and Recruit CRM sandbox setup
We set up a Recruit CRM sandbox environment and design the destination schema based on the migration scope. This includes configuring the Client and Candidate objects with all standard fields, creating custom fields to receive Arcoro time entries, payroll summaries, benefit enrollment records, and certification data, and mapping Arcoro ATS pipeline stage names to Recruit CRM pipeline stage values. We also configure the credential object for construction certifications and apprenticeship records. Schema validation happens in sandbox before any production import begins.
Custom field crosswalk and export configuration
We build the field-level crosswalk document mapping every Arcoro CoreHR and ATS field to its Recruit CRM equivalent, including data type transformations, picklist value translations, and custom field creation for any Arcoro field without a direct Recruit CRM counterpart. We coordinate with Arcoro support to confirm that all required export configurations are in place for custom fields, attachments, and benefit enrollment data. If Arcoro exports need to be configured from scratch, we request this at least one week before the migration window to avoid blocking the extraction phase.
Arcoro extraction with sync delay awareness
We schedule the Arcoro data extraction to account for the platform's next-day time entry sync behavior. The extraction window opens after the current pay period's time entries have been confirmed as available in Arcoro, typically the morning after the pay period closes. We extract candidate records, client profiles, job postings, placement history, certification credentials, onboarding task completion records, and any benefit enrollment data in the same extraction pass. Attachments are exported as a separate file batch and matched to candidate records by record ID.
Sandbox import and reconciliation
We run a full migration into the Recruit CRM sandbox using production-like data volume. The customer's recruitment operations lead reviews record counts (candidates in, clients in, jobs in, placements in), spot-checks 25-50 candidate profiles against the Arcoro source records for field-level accuracy, and validates that certification dates, resume attachments, and onboarding notes are present and readable. Any field mapping corrections, picklist value mismatches, or custom field naming issues are resolved in the sandbox before production migration begins.
Production migration in dependency order
We run the production migration in record dependency order: Clients first (as parent records for open jobs), then Candidates (with client association resolved), then Jobs (linked to Clients), then Placements (linked to Candidates and Jobs), then Credentials, then custom field data (time entries, benefit summaries, payroll notes), then document attachments. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. Time entries are loaded last as structured custom fields after all candidate records are confirmed as present.
Cutover, validation, and automation rebuild handoff
We freeze Arcoro writes during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then enable Recruit CRM as the system of record. We deliver the onboarding workflow inventory and ATS automation documentation to the customer's admin team with recommended Recruit CRM equivalents. We support a one-week hypercare window where we resolve any data quality issues raised by the recruitment team. We do not rebuild Arcoro onboarding workflows or payroll logic in Recruit CRM within the migration scope; these are documented for the customer's admin to configure or engage a Recruit CRM implementation partner.
