Overview

What this migration involves

Moving from Asure HCM to Recruit CRM is a cross-category migration from a Human Capital Management platform to a recruitment agency ATS. The primary data bridge is employee-to-candidate: name, contact information, employment history, department, and job title transfer directly. Payroll registers, tax configurations, PTO accrual balances, and benefits enrollments do not have native equivalents in Recruit CRM and are flagged for manual reconstruction post-migration. We handle the lookup resolution between candidate records and any client or job order records that exist in Recruit CRM, and we preserve the original Asure hire date and termination date as custom fields on the candidate profile for audit continuity. We do not migrate Asure workflows, payroll tax setups, or benefits plan configurations because Recruit CRM's data model does not support these object types.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

Asure

What's pushing teams away

  • Customer support quality is the single most common complaint — slow response times, frequent staff turnover at Asure, and an inability to reach a knowledgeable human are cited across G2, Capterra, and Software Advice reviews.
  • Interface complexity — reviewers describe the UI as not user-friendly and harder to navigate than newer SMB payroll tools like Gusto or Rippling.
  • HR services are limited — Software Advice reviewers note Asure does not provide a dedicated HR person and communication is mainly via email, falling short for SMBs that expected outsourced HR advisory.
  • Bugs and ongoing issues lead to slow resolutions and recurring communication frustration during payroll cycles where speed matters most.
  • Pricing is opaque — no tier pricing is published, forcing every prospect through a custom quote process that complicates side-by-side evaluation.

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 Asure objects map to Recruit CRM & ATS

Each row shows how a Asure 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.

Asure

Employee

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Candidate

1:1
Fully supported

Asure employee records map to Recruit CRM candidate profiles. We transfer first name, last name, email address, phone number, address, department, job title, hire date, employment status, and termination date. The Asure hire_date becomes a custom field original_hire_date__c on the candidate record to preserve tenure history. Termination date migrates as termination_date__c if the candidate has a past placement record to reconstruct.

Asure

Employee

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Employee (internal staff)

lossy
Fully supported

Asure employees who are internal agency staff (recruiters, account managers) may also be created as Users or Team Members in Recruit CRM. We separate internal staff records from external candidate records during scoping. Internal staff migration is 1:1 for contact information and role title only.

Asure

Payroll Register

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

No equivalent

1:1
Fully supported

Asure payroll registers (earnings, deductions, taxes, net pay per pay period) have no object in Recruit CRM. Recruit CRM is an ATS and does not include payroll processing. We flag this dataset as out-of-scope and provide a manual handoff inventory: the customer extracts payroll register CSV from Asure, and their payroll administrator or accountant rebuilds any needed payroll records in their chosen payroll platform post-migration.

Asure

PTO and Accrual Balances

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

No equivalent

1:1
Fully supported

Asure accrual ledgers (PTO, sick leave, other leave types) do not migrate to Recruit CRM. Accrual tracking is an HRMS function not supported in recruitment ATS platforms. We capture the balance snapshot at cutover date as a static CSV export and flag it as a separate reconciliation task for the customer's HR administrator. The balance snapshot is not imported into Recruit CRM as a live field.

Asure

Benefits Enrollment

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

No equivalent

1:1
Fully supported

Health, dental, vision, and voluntary benefit elections tied to plan years in Asure have no equivalent in Recruit CRM. We isolate the enrollment data to the most recent closed plan year and provide a static export CSV for the customer's records. Any mid-year qualifying event adjustments are handled manually by the customer's benefits administrator post-migration.

Asure

Tax Configuration

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

No equivalent

1:1
Fully supported

Federal, state, and local tax withholding setups in Asure are tied to payroll processing and do not transfer to Recruit CRM. Recruit CRM has no tax configuration object. We provide a written inventory of the customer's active tax jurisdictions and the associated tax codes for the payroll administrator to configure in their replacement payroll platform after migration.

Asure

Time and Attendance

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

No equivalent

1:1
Fully supported

Clock-in/clock-out logs, shift codes, overtime rules, and time-off request statuses from Asure do not map to Recruit CRM. For staffing agencies that use Asure for temp worker time tracking, we recommend separating the temp workforce timesheet data into a dedicated export and pairing it with a staffing-specific payroll platform post-migration.

Asure

HR Documents

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Candidate attachment

1:1
Mapping required

W-4 forms, I-9s, offer letters, and performance records stored in Asure's document repository can be extracted as files and attached to the corresponding candidate record in Recruit CRM via the candidate's attachment or document upload feature. We perform the file extraction, rename files to include the candidate name and document type, and provide a mapping of file names to candidate email for bulk upload.

Asure

Employee Self-Service Portal Data

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Candidate note

1:1
Mapping required

Pending or recent address changes, direct deposit preferences, and emergency contact updates captured in Asure's employee self-service portal are extracted as a reconciliation log. We flush these pending changes before cutover and attach them as a note on the candidate record in Recruit CRM for the customer's review.

Asure

Background Screening (MyHRScreens)

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Candidate note or custom field

1:1
Fully supported

Asure's partnership with MyHRScreens for background checks does not expose records via standard data export. We retrieve the background screening report separately from MyHRScreens (or request the customer to export manually) and attach it to the candidate record in Recruit CRM as a PDF. We add a custom field screening_status__c to indicate completion date and status.

Pair-specific challenges

  • No direct mapping exists for payroll, PTO, or benefits

    Asure's core data model centers on payroll processing, tax withholding, PTO accruals, and benefits enrollments. Recruit CRM is an ATS with no equivalent objects for any of these. We cannot automate these records into Recruit CRM because they do not exist as object types. We provide static CSV exports at cutover and a written inventory of each dataset requiring manual rebuild in a standalone payroll or HRMS platform post-migration. Customers must not assume that payroll history or PTO balances will appear in Recruit CRM after migration.

  • Accrual balance freeze must happen before cutover

    Asure stores PTO and leave balances as running accrual ledgers. When migrating out, balances must be frozen and exported at a specific pay period boundary. If the migration runs during an open accrual period, the destination may recalculate and overwrite the carryover. We capture the balance snapshot at cutover and flag it as a closed period so resets do not fire incorrectly in any downstream system. This is documented as a separate HR task, not an automated Recruit CRM import.

  • State-specific tax configurations vary by Asure plan tier

    Asure's payroll tax handling is tiered: higher tiers include more state and local tax jurisdictions. Mid-market plans may expose fewer tax codes in the export than the customer is actively using. We audit the customer's active tax jurisdictions before export and request a manual list of states if the export schema appears truncated. This data is included in the written tax inventory for the customer's payroll administrator.

  • Google Calendar deleted-meeting sync gap affects ATS operations

    Recruit CRM does not sync deleted meetings between Recruit CRM and Google Calendar. Reddit discussions among Recruit CRM users note this gap compared to other ATS platforms like Zoho Recruit. We flag this as an operational consideration for agencies relying on calendar sync for interview scheduling. Pending deletions on the Asure side are flushed before cutover; post-migration, the customer's admin should be aware of this limitation in Recruit CRM's calendar integration.

  • Background screening via MyHRScreens requires separate retrieval

    Asure's partnership with MyHRScreens embeds background check records in the hiring workflow but does not expose them via standard data export. Candidate screening reports must be retrieved directly from MyHRScreens and manually linked to employee records in the destination. We coordinate the retrieval request with the customer during migration but cannot automate the pull from MyHRScreens directly.

Migration approach

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

  1. Discovery and scope definition

    We audit the Asure environment for employee record counts, active and terminated employees, custom fields, benefits plan data, payroll register history, PTO accrual records, and any pending self-service portal updates. We identify which records are internal agency staff (to be migrated as users) versus external candidates (to be migrated as candidate profiles). We produce a written migration scope that explicitly items in-scope records (employee to candidate) and out-of-scope datasets (payroll, PTO, benefits, tax configs) with a separate handoff plan for each.

  2. Data extraction and custom field mapping

    We extract employee records from Asure via API or supported export format and map each field to Recruit CRM's candidate object schema. We identify custom fields in Asure that require creation in Recruit CRM (original_hire_date__c, termination_date__c, department__c, job_title__c, screening_status__c) and configure them in Recruit CRM's candidate settings before import. We extract HR documents (W-4s, I-9s, offer letters) as files and prepare a file-to-candidate mapping for bulk attachment.

  3. Payroll and accrual freeze and export

    We coordinate with the customer's HR and payroll administrator to freeze accrual balances and run the final payroll export at the cutover pay period boundary. We produce static CSV exports for payroll registers, PTO accrual balances, and benefits enrollment data. These files are handed off separately from the Recruit CRM candidate migration and are accompanied by a written inventory listing each dataset, its format, and the recommended manual reconstruction path in the customer's replacement payroll or HRMS platform.

  4. Candidate import and reconciliation

    We run the candidate import into Recruit CRM using the extracted employee data mapped to candidate profiles. We resolve any duplicate candidates by email and flag records requiring review. We attach HR documents (W-4s, I-9s, offer letters) to the corresponding candidate records. We run a reconciliation report comparing the Asure employee count to the Recruit CRM candidate count and resolve any gaps before cutover.

  5. Cutover and out-of-scope handoff

    We freeze Asure as the system of record for employee data. We deliver the static CSV exports for payroll, PTO, benefits, and tax configurations to the customer's HR and finance team with a written handoff document. We deliver a background screening retrieval request to MyHRScreens. We validate candidate record completeness in Recruit CRM against the original Asure employee list and confirm the customer has reviewed and approved the imported candidate profiles.

  6. Post-migration support and rebuild guidance

    We provide a one-week hypercare window to resolve any candidate record issues raised by the customer's team. We deliver the automation rebuild inventory for any Asure workflows that need reconstruction in Recruit CRM's workflow builder. We do not rebuild Asure workflows in Recruit CRM as part of the migration scope; the customer uses the inventory document to rebuild in Recruit CRM independently or with a Recruit CRM implementation partner. Payroll, benefits, PTO, and tax data rebuilds are outside scope and are the customer's separate project.

Most migrations complete in two to three weeks for agencies with fewer than 500 employee records and straightforward candidate profiles. Migrations with large custom field sets, multiple branches, or extensive HR document archives move to four to six weeks. The payroll, PTO, and benefits data that requires manual rebuild post-migration is scoped separately and runs parallel to Recruit CRM adoption rather than within the migration window.
