Overview
Moving from Asanify to Zoho Recruit is a domain-shift migration: Asanify is an HRMS and payroll platform built for India compliance, while Zoho Recruit is an ATS focused on recruitment and candidate tracking. The overlap is limited to contractor records and employee profiles that can be mapped as candidates. India-specific statutory fields (TDS, PF, ESIC, Professional Tax), payroll runs, payslips, leave balances, attendance records, performance reviews, OKRs, KPI trackers, shift schedules, and expense reimbursements have no Zoho Recruit equivalent and will not migrate. We deliver those records as written exports for manual re-entry or archival. EOR employee assignments require a separate compliance review because the employer-of-record relationship cannot transfer to a non-EOR ATS without establishing a legal entity in each country of employment.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Asanify object lands in Zoho Recruit, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.
Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.
Asanify
Employee
Zoho Recruit
Candidate
1:1Asanify Employee records map to Zoho Recruit Candidate records as the primary object mapping. First Name and Last Name split from the Asanify full name field. Email, phone, current designation, and department transfer to equivalent Candidate fields. Employment status and joining date map to custom Candidate fields (asanify_employment_status__c, asanify_join_date__c). Any employee record with a role or background suitable for active recruitment pipelines qualifies for Candidate migration; current employees not in active hiring workflows may be imported as inactive candidates or archived per customer direction.
Asanify
Contractor
Zoho Recruit
Candidate
1:1Asanify Contractor records are the strongest functional overlap with Zoho Recruit's Candidate model. Contract terms (contract start/end dates, contract type, rate, currency) map to Zoho Recruit custom fields since Candidate does not natively store contract-specific attributes. Multi-currency payout data from Asanify (stored at $18/contractor/month tier) transfers to a custom currency field. Contractor status (active, expired, pending renewal) maps to a custom Candidate field. The contractor module in Asanify is priced separately, so scoping must confirm the contractor tier is active before migration.
Asanify
Org Structure
Zoho Recruit
Client + Department (custom)
1:manyAsanify's department hierarchy and org chart map to Zoho Recruit Client records (representing the organizational client or business unit) and a custom department field on Candidate. Department assignments on employees transfer to the custom asanify_department__c field on each mapped Candidate. If the customer uses Asanify's multi-company org structure, each legal entity becomes a separate Client in Zoho Recruit with its own candidate pool.
Asanify
Employee Documents
Zoho Recruit
Candidate Attachments
1:1Employee documents (offer letter, ID copies, employment contracts) stored in Asanify VIP tier transfer as file attachments to the corresponding Candidate record in Zoho Recruit. Document type labeling (offer letter, resume, ID proof) maps to Zoho Recruit's attachment category or a custom field. Documents require the VIP plan tier in Asanify; Essential-tier accounts do not have document storage and this object is out of scope for those accounts.
Asanify
Salary Revision
Zoho Recruit
Written Export (Custom Field if requested)
lossySalary revision history (effective dates, amounts, revision reason) has no native Zoho Recruit field. We export the salary revision log as a CSV and present it as a written record. If the customer requests, we store the most recent salary figure as a custom Candidate field (asanify_current_salary__c) for reference. Historical salary progression does not map to any Zoho Recruit object because the ATS is not designed to track compensation history.
Asanify
Leave Balance
Zoho Recruit
Written Export
lossyLeave entitlement and accrual balances (annual leave, sick leave, earned leave, comp-off) have no Zoho Recruit equivalent. ATS platforms track candidate availability windows, not employee leave balances. We export leave balance data as a CSV report per employee for the customer's HR team to manage outside of Zoho Recruit. Leave encashment records similarly export as a written report.
Asanify
Attendance Record
Zoho Recruit
Written Export
lossyGeo-tracked attendance logs (punch timestamps, coordinates, shift assignments) do not map to any Zoho Recruit object. ATS platforms do not store attendance data. We export attendance records as a CSV per employee for the customer's HR team. Bio-metric device integration records (VIP-only) are included in the export if present. Records with sparse or missing geo coordinates are flagged in the export with a null-coordinates indicator.
Asanify
Payroll Run and Payslip
Zoho Recruit
Written Export
lossyPayslip records (earnings breakdown, TDS deduction, PF contribution, ESIC, Professional Tax, net pay) have no Zoho Recruit equivalent. We export a per-employee payroll history summary as a structured CSV and a written record inventory. India statutory deduction amounts are preserved as-is from Asanify's payroll run output. Payslip PDFs are exported as file archives per employee. Any payroll runs in pending or in-progress state at migration time require explicit resolution: either the customer completes the run in Asanify before cutover or the run is archived as incomplete.
Asanify
Performance Review
Zoho Recruit
Written Export
lossyPerformance management data (review cycles, ratings, 360-degree feedback, free-text review forms) is a VIP-tier feature in Asanify and has no Zoho Recruit equivalent. ATS platforms track candidate evaluations during hiring, not employee performance post-hire. We export performance review data as a written record with ratings, reviewer names, and feedback text per employee. Custom review question banks require a separate field extraction and are included in the written export scope.
Asanify
OKR Goal
Zoho Recruit
Written Export
lossyOKR goal records (company-level OKRs, individual key results, progress percentages) are a VIP-tier feature in Asanify and have no Zoho Recruit equivalent. We export OKR data as a written record per employee with goal definitions, key results, current progress, and status. Goals and key results that reference other employees or departments are cross-referenced by ID in the export for manual reconstruction if needed. Flattened goal lists export as CSV alongside the written report.
Asanify
KPI Tracker
Zoho Recruit
Written Export
lossyKPI tracking definitions and current values (VIP-tier feature) do not map to Zoho Recruit. We export KPI records as a written inventory with KPI name, definition, current value, target, measurement frequency, and the employee to whom the KPI is assigned. Historical KPI snapshots are flagged separately if present in Asanify because the data model may store them differently from current values.
Asanify
Shift Schedule
Zoho Recruit
Written Export
lossyShift definitions, assigned employees, and shift dates are a VIP-tier feature in Asanify. We export shift schedule data as a written record covering the most recent four-week representative window (rather than the full recurring pattern). Shift assignments per employee are linked by employee ID in the export. If the customer requires shift data in Zoho Recruit for scheduling or interview availability purposes, a custom Candidate field (asanify_shift_pattern__c) can be created, but standard ATS workflows do not natively consume shift schedule data.
Asanify
Expense Reimbursement
Zoho Recruit
Written Export
lossyExpense reimbursement records (amounts, expense categories, approval status, submission dates) are available on VIP and Enterprise tiers. We export reimbursement records as a written report. Pending reimbursements at migration time require explicit resolution: the customer must approve or reject all pending requests before cutover, or those requests are archived as unresolved in the written export. Rejected reimbursements do not transfer. Approved reimbursements export with approval metadata.
Asanify
EOR Employee Assignment
Zoho Recruit
Compliance Review Flag (Custom Field)
lossyEmployees onboarded via Asanify's EOR service are legally employed by a separate Asanify-owned entity in each country. Migrating EOR records to a non-EOR system (Zoho Recruit) requires either establishing a legal entity in that country or engaging a new EOR provider. We flag every EOR record with a written compliance notation: employer entity name, country of legal employment, EOR start date, and Asanify entity ID. If the customer requests, we create a custom Candidate field (asanify_eor_entity__c, asanify_eor_country__c) to preserve the EOR metadata on the candidate record for compliance visibility. EOR records do not convert to standard employee records without a legal review.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discovery and plan-tier verification
We audit the source Asanify account across plan tier (Essential, VIP, Enterprise), active modules, headcount, contractor count, EOR assignment count, and any pending payroll runs or expense reimbursements. We confirm the Asanify plan tier from account settings because it determines whether performance reviews, OKRs, KPIs, shift schedules, and document storage are accessible or absent. We present the full inventory of accessible Asanify objects, flag every EOR assignment with employer entity and country, and confirm the count of records in each object category. This output is the written migration scope with explicit exclusions for objects that have no Zoho Recruit destination.
Zoho Recruit schema preparation
We review the destination Zoho Recruit account's active edition (Free, Standard, Professional, Enterprise), enabled modules (Candidates, Job Openings, Clients, Interviews, Assessments), and existing custom fields. We create any required custom Candidate fields to hold Asanify metadata: asanify_employee_id__c, asanify_join_date__c, asanify_department__c, asanify_employment_status__c, asanify_current_salary__c (optional), asanify_eor_entity__c, asanify_eor_country__c. We create a Client record per Asanify organizational entity for org structure mapping. All schema changes deploy to the Zoho Recruit sandbox or production environment before data loading begins.
Asanify data extraction and written export generation
We coordinate with the customer's Asanify account holder to export all accessible records via CSV: employee profiles, contractor records, org structure, leave balances, attendance logs, payroll history, performance reviews, OKR records, KPI trackers, shift schedules, expense reimbursements, and EOR assignments. We validate each CSV for row completeness, field presence, and encoding before staging. India statutory fields (TDS, PF, ESIC, PT) and payslip earnings breakdowns export as separate compliance-focused CSV files. We generate the written export package with record counts, field headers, and a data dictionary per object.
Staging transform and Zoho Recruit sandbox load
We transform the Asanify CSVs to match Zoho Recruit's field types and required formats. Name fields split into First Name and Last Name. Date fields convert to Zoho Recruit's accepted date format (YYYY-MM-DD). Multi-select or JSON-encoded fields flatten to comma-separated values. Currency fields standardize to a single currency or retain the original currency code per field. We load the transformed data into a Zoho Recruit sandbox or parallel environment, run reconciliation against the source CSV row counts, spot-check 25-50 candidate records for field accuracy, and correct any mapping errors before the production load.
Production migration and cutover
We run the production migration in Zoho Recruit with the validated mapping from the staging step. Candidate records load first, followed by Client records and candidate-client associations. Attachments (offer letters, resumes, ID documents) upload via Zoho Recruit's attachment API. EOR metadata loads as custom field values with a compliance flag notation in the record. After each module load, we reconcile row counts against the source export. We freeze write access to Asanify during the cutover window and run a final delta export of any records modified during the migration window.
Delivery and handoff
We deliver the written export package (CSV files and record inventories for payroll history, statutory deductions, leave balances, attendance logs, performance reviews, OKRs, KPIs, shift schedules, expense reimbursements, and EOR assignments) alongside the Zoho Recruit migration completion report. The completion report lists record counts loaded into Zoho Recruit, record counts exported as written reports, any records skipped due to missing data or plan-tier exclusions, and a reconciliation summary. We do not rebuild Asanify workflows, OKR tools, or payroll processes in Zoho Recruit because those features do not exist in the destination platform; the written exports serve as the handoff for manual re-entry or archival. We offer a one-week post-migration support window for data quality issues identified within seven days of cutover.
