Overview

What this migration involves

Asanify and Recruit CRM serve fundamentally different functions. Asanify is an India compliance-first HRMS covering the full employee lifecycle from onboarding through payroll, including TDS auto-calculation, PF, ESIC, and professional tax filing. Recruit CRM is a cloud ATS and CRM built for small to mid-sized recruitment agencies, with candidate pipeline management, job ordering, and placement tracking as its core objects. There is no shared data model between these platforms. The migration is scoped to Asanify's ATS module objects (Candidates, Jobs, Applications) and to Employee records that are re-purposed as Candidate profiles. We do not migrate payroll runs, payslips, statutory deductions, leave balances, attendance records, performance reviews, OKRs, KPI trackers, expense reimbursements, or EOR assignments because Recruit CRM has no schema to receive them. We deliver a written inventory of these records so the customer's admin can decide whether to retain them in Asanify, export to a spreadsheet, or load into a dedicated HRMS at the destination.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

Asanify

What's pushing teams away

  • Minimum headcount requirements on lower tiers (20 for Essential, 10 for VIP) force smaller teams to either pay for headcount they do not use or upgrade unnecessarily.
  • Occasional performance lag during high-volume clock-out operations frustrates shift-based teams who rely on real-time attendance confirmation.
  • VIP-tier-only features—performance management, OKRs, shift scheduling, biometric device integration—require an expensive upgrade that mid-sized teams may not budget for.
  • International EOR pricing is custom and opaque, requiring a sales call for every country, making it difficult to compare total cost of global expansion upfront.
  • Help documentation and support response quality for complex API or integration questions varies, with some customers reporting gaps in technical detail.

Choosing

Recruit CRM & ATS logo

Recruit CRM & ATS

What's pulling them in

  • Agencies choose Recruit CRM for its full customizability — pipelines, stages, and fields can be tailored to any recruitment workflow without developer involvement.
  • Small teams value the built-in CRM and ATS combined in one subscription, eliminating the need to purchase and sync separate systems.
  • The Chrome extension for one-click LinkedIn profile collection streamlines candidate sourcing and reduces manual data entry for recruiters.
  • Responsive customer support with fast issue resolution is consistently cited as a reason teams stick with the platform long-term.
  • Automation options including email sequences and workflow triggers allow recruitment agencies to reduce repetitive manual outreach tasks.

Object mapping

How Asanify objects map to Recruit CRM & ATS

Each row shows how a Asanify 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.

Asanify

Employee

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Candidate

1:1
Fully supported

Asanify Employee records are the primary migration object when re-purposing the ATS module for recruitment use. Core fields (name, email, phone, department, employment status, start date) map to Recruit CRM Candidate fields. Employment dates become work history start and end dates. Salary revision history becomes a Compensation sub-record on the candidate, though Recruit CRM does not natively support structured compensation history, so we map the most recent salary to a custom field and flag salary ranges that require manual entry. Active vs inactive employment status maps to Candidate status in Recruit CRM. Employees with no recruitment-relevant history (pure payroll records) are excluded from the ATS migration scope and inventoried separately.

Asanify

Org Structure (Departments)

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Organization

1:1
Fully supported

Asanify department assignments and org chart hierarchy map to Recruit CRM Organizations. The full org tree is preserved as a parent-child organization hierarchy in Recruit CRM. Department head names and reporting relationships map to Organization contact roles rather than as standalone fields. If the org structure is deep (more than 4 levels), we flatten it to a two-level hierarchy in Recruit CRM and note the full depth in a custom field for admin reference.

Asanify

Job Postings (ATS module)

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Job

1:1
Fully supported

If Asanify's ATS module exposes job posting records, they map directly to Recruit CRM Job records. Job title, description, requirements, location, employment type, and salary range migrate to the equivalent Recruit CRM fields. Job status (open, closed, on hold) maps to Recruit CRM Job status. Any custom job fields from Asanify map to Recruit CRM Job custom fields. If Asanify's ATS module does not expose a standalone Job object, we create Job records from the context of active candidate application records.

Asanify

Application / Candidate-Job Association

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Application

1:1
Fully supported

Asanify candidate-to-job application records map to Recruit CRM Application records linked to the Candidate and Job. Application stage, submission date, source, and referred-by fields migrate to the equivalent Recruit CRM Application fields. Stage history (application moving through interview rounds) maps to Recruit CRM application stage values, and the stage transition timestamps are preserved. Multiple applications per candidate (re-applications or cross-job submissions) are migrated as separate Application records.

Asanify

Contractor Records

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Candidate (contractor flag)

1:1
Mapping required

Asanify Contractor records (billed at $18/contractor/month separately) map to Recruit CRM Candidates with a contractor_type or engagement_type custom field set to indicate the contractor relationship. Contract terms, invoicing frequency, and multi-currency payment details migrate to custom fields on the Candidate record. Ongoing active contracts are flagged as open assignments in Recruit CRM. Contractor records do not become Employees in Recruit CRM because Recruit CRM has no HRMS payroll layer.

Asanify

Payroll Runs and Payslips

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Not migrated

lossy
Fully supported

Asanify payroll runs, payslip records, TDS deductions, PF contributions, ESIC deductions, and professional tax deductions have no equivalent schema in Recruit CRM. These records are inventoried as a CSV export during the pre-migration review and handed off to the customer for retention in Asanify or archival storage. We do not load payroll or statutory deduction data into Recruit CRM because there is no payroll module, no payslip object, and no TDS/PF/ESIC field structure in the destination platform.

Asanify

Leave Balances and Attendance Records

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Not migrated

lossy
Fully supported

Leave balances, accrual states, attendance logs with geo-tracking coordinates, and shift schedules from Asanify do not map to any Recruit CRM object. Recruit CRM has no leave management, attendance tracking, or shift scheduling module. These records are excluded from the migration scope and inventoried separately as a structured CSV export. We recommend the customer retains Asanify access or exports these records to a dedicated HRMS for ongoing compliance needs.

Asanify

Performance Reviews, OKRs, KPI Trackers

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Not migrated

lossy
Fully supported

Performance review cycles, 360-degree feedback ratings, OKR goal records, key results, progress percentages, and KPI tracker values are not available in Recruit CRM. These VIP-tier objects are excluded from migration and inventoried as a written handoff. Candidates with performance history in Asanify can have a free-text summary note added to their Recruit CRM Candidate record as a custom field, but structured review data, ratings, and OKR progress cannot be preserved as records in the destination platform.

Asanify

EOR Employee Assignments

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Not migrated

lossy
Mapping required

Asanify EOR records represent employees legally employed through an Asanify-owned entity in a specific country. Migrating these records to Recruit CRM—which has no EOR module and no employer-of-record schema—would strip the EOR relationship and create compliance risk. Every EOR assignment is flagged during scoping, labeled with the employer entity and country of legal employment, and excluded from the migration scope. The customer should retain Asanify for EOR employee management or engage a dedicated EOR provider post-migration.

Asanify

Employment Documents

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Candidate Documents (partial)

1:1
Mapping required

Employee documents (offer letters, contracts, identification records) accessible via the Asanify UI migrate as file attachments linked to the corresponding Candidate record in Recruit CRM. We export the file and map the file type to a Recruit CRM document category. Documents tied to payroll compliance (Form 16, pay-slips, statutory certificates) are excluded because Recruit CRM has no payroll document schema. Document access requires an active Asanify account at the VIP tier where document storage is available.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Asanify has no documented public API

    No publicly accessible API endpoints, rate limits, or developer documentation were found for Asanify in the research. Data extraction must rely on CSV exports from the Asanify admin UI or UI-based data downloads. This introduces manual effort for large record sets and limits the ability to run delta migrations after the initial export. We confirm the export capability during scoping, estimate the manual extraction time per object type, and advise the customer to export all relevant objects before the migration window opens. If Asanify's export functionality is limited by plan tier, we flag the constraint and recommend an export at the VIP tier if the customer has access.

  • No shared data model between HRMS and ATS

    Asanify's core objects—Employees, Payroll Runs, Payslips, Statutory Deductions (TDS, PF, ESIC), Leave Balances, Attendance Records, Shift Schedules, Performance Reviews, OKRs, KPI Trackers, and EOR Assignments—have no equivalent schema in Recruit CRM. These records cannot be migrated into the destination platform and must be retained in Asanify, exported as spreadsheets, or moved to a separate HRMS post-migration. We scope and inventory every unsupported object during discovery and deliver a written record inventory so the customer can decide on retention strategy before cutover.

  • Salary and compensation history lacks a native destination field

    Asanify Salary Revision records (effective date, previous amount, new amount, revision reason) and payslip earnings data have no native compensation history object in Recruit CRM. We map the most recent salary figure to a custom compensation field on the Candidate record, but structured salary revision logs and payslip earnings are lost as records. If the customer requires historical compensation data for compliance or audit purposes, we recommend retaining Asanify access or exporting to a spreadsheet rather than attempting to force the data into the ATS.

  • India-specific statutory fields drop silently without a plan

    TDS deduction amounts, PF contribution codes, ESIC numbers, professional tax jurisdictions, and Form 16 references on Asanify Employee records have no typed equivalent in Recruit CRM. We export these as unstructured text in a custom field labeled compliance_data__c, but Recruit CRM cannot process or display statutory deduction values natively. If the customer needs to maintain India compliance records alongside candidate data, we recommend a parallel HRMS (Asanify or an alternative) for payroll and statutory management rather than relying on Recruit CRM for this data.

  • VIP-tier objects require account tier verification

    Performance reviews, OKRs, KPI trackers, shift schedules, biometric attendance, and employee document storage are gated behind Asanify's VIP tier (₹199/person/month, minimum 10 persons). If the customer's Asanify account is on the Essential plan, these objects do not exist in the source and are not a migration concern. We confirm the active plan tier during scoping and scope performance data only when the source account includes VIP features. If the customer downgraded from VIP to Essential before migration, we cannot recover VIP-tier objects that were deleted at downgrade.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful Asanify to Recruit CRM & ATS data migration

  1. Discovery and export capability assessment

    We audit the Asanify account across plan tier, accessible modules, and record volumes for ATS-relevant objects (Employees, Contractors, ATS Job Postings, Applications) and unsupported objects (Payroll Runs, Payslips, Statutory Deductions, Leave Balances, Attendance, Performance, OKRs). We confirm the export method: UI-based CSV download or, if API access is later confirmed, programmatic extraction. We deliver a written record inventory listing every object, its record count, and whether it migrates, archives, or is excluded. This inventory forms the migration scope baseline and the customer retention strategy for unsupported records.

  2. Recruit CRM schema setup and field mapping

    We configure the Recruit CRM destination schema before any data loads. This includes provisioning custom fields for compensation data (mapped from Asanify salary revision history), a contractor_type flag (mapped from Asanify Contractor records), a compliance_data text field (holding TDS/PF/ESIC references as unstructured text), and any custom candidate fields the customer requires. Job custom fields are provisioned to match Asanify job posting custom attributes. We configure Organization hierarchies matching the Asanify department structure and set up application stage values matching the customer's existing Asanify ATS stage labels.

  3. Data extraction, deduplication, and transformation

    We guide the customer through exporting all relevant Asanify objects as CSV files. We deduplicate records (removing duplicate candidate entries, duplicate employee records, and orphaned application records) before transformation. We apply the mapping rules: Employee records become Candidate records with work history; department assignments become Organization records with parent-child hierarchy; ATS job postings become Job records; applications become linked Application records. Salary revision history is reduced to the most recent salary figure in a custom compensation field. All India statutory field values (TDS, PF, ESIC) are placed in the compliance_data__c text field as unstructured text. Recruit CRM's documented REST API (api.recruitcrm.io, bearer auth) is used for any API-based loading where available.

  4. Staging validation and reconciliation

    We load all transformed data into a Recruit CRM staging environment (or the production account if the customer prefers a single-phase migration for smaller datasets). We reconcile record counts: Candidates in, Employees out; Organizations in, Departments out; Jobs in, Job Postings out; Applications in, linked correctly to Candidate and Job. We spot-check 25-50 records against the source CSV for field-level accuracy, verify that application stage transitions are in chronological order, and confirm that document attachments link to the correct Candidate records. The customer reviews the staging data and signs off before production cutover.

  5. Production cutover and unsupported record handoff

    We run the final data load into the production Recruit CRM account using the validated staging transformation. We freeze Asanify writes during the cutover window to prevent delta records from being created during load. Any records modified in Asanify between the initial export and cutover are identified as a delta and merged into the destination. We deliver the unsupported record inventory (payroll runs, payslips, statutory deductions, leave balances, attendance, performance reviews, OKRs, EOR assignments) as structured CSV exports with a field index, so the customer can retain or archive these independently. We do not load unsupported records into Recruit CRM.

  6. Hypercare and unsupported object handoff

    We support a one-week hypercare window following production cutover, resolving any record linkage issues, missing documents, or stage mapping errors reported by the customer's team. We deliver the unsupported object inventory as a written document with record counts, field indexes, and recommended retention actions for each object type. We do not rebuild Asanify workflows, automations, or shift schedules in Recruit CRM; these do not have equivalents in the destination platform and are documented as scope exclusion. Post-hypercare, the customer retains Asanify access for payroll, statutory, and HRMS records that do not migrate, or migrates those to a dedicated HRMS platform separately.

Most migrations land between three and five weeks for accounts with up to 3,000 candidate records, 500 job postings, and straightforward employee-to-candidate field mapping. Migrations involving salary history mapping to custom compensation fields, multi-level org structure flattening, India statutory field audit, or contractor record reclassification move to seven to eleven weeks because of extraction complexity, deduplication time, and validation cycles. The absence of a documented Asanify API extends the discovery and extraction phases compared to platforms with standard REST export capabilities.
