Overview

What this migration involves

Moving from Avionté Staffing and Recruiting Software to Recruit CRM is a structural migration for staffing and recruiting firms that want a higher-rated, more intuitive ATS and CRM at transparent pricing. Avionté is built for high-volume temp staffing with integrated payroll and billing; Recruit CRM is built for recruitment and executive search with AI-powered candidate matching and a straightforward kanban interface. The core ATS and CRM objects map cleanly between the two platforms, but Avionté's Assignment, Time Entry, and billing batch records have no direct Recruit CRM equivalent. We extract and archive those records as CSV and document the payroll handoff for the customer's finance team. Workflows and automations do not migrate; we deliver a written inventory of every active Avionté workflow requiring rebuild in Recruit CRM's automation builder. Migration sequencing respects Avionté's record dependencies: Placements land before Assignments, and Assignments must be established before Time Entry exports are valid.

Object mapping

How Avionté Staffing and Recruiting Software objects map to Recruit CRM & ATS

Each row shows how a Avionté Staffing and Recruiting Software 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.

Avionté Staffing and Recruiting Software

Candidate (Applicant)

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Candidate

1:1
Fully supported

Avionte Candidates map directly to Recruit CRM ATS Candidates. Contact info, resume data, phone, email, and address fields transfer cleanly. Avionte's custom applicant properties and Table Editor-defined custom fields audit during discovery, then map to Recruit CRM custom fields on the Candidate object. Position categories and skill tags are stored as shared Avionte lookup values; we extract the full taxonomy and reattach tag associations to each Candidate record in Recruit CRM to preserve candidate-to-job matching capability.

Avionté Staffing and Recruiting Software

Company (Client)

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Company

1:1
Fully supported

Avionte Company records map to Recruit CRM Companies. Client name, contact details, billing address, and any custom fields migrate. Recruit CRM Company records serve as the parent for all candidate and job associations in the ATS/CRM model. We preserve the original Avionte Company ID in a custom field for reference and deduplication during post-migration reconciliation.

Avionté Staffing and Recruiting Software

Job (Job Order)

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Job

1:1
Fully supported

Avionte Jobs map to Recruit CRM Jobs with job title, description, requirements, and status preserved. Avionte's bulk import CSV format for Jobs (Job Title, Company Name, Status, Date Opened, Date Closed, Recruiter Assigned) maps directly to Recruit CRM's job fields. Job status mapping aligns Avionte pipeline stages with Recruit CRM kanban stages; we configure the stage names during schema setup.

Avionté Staffing and Recruiting Software

Placement

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Candidate (with placement status)

1:1
Fully supported

Avionte Placements (the active hire record connecting a Candidate to a Job at a Company) map to Recruit CRM Candidates with a placement status indicator and linked Job reference. We capture start date, termination date, pay rate, and bill rate as custom fields on the Candidate record since Recruit CRM does not have a native Placement object. Placements must land in Recruit CRM before Assignments; we sequence accordingly and validate the placement-to-candidate linkage after import.

Avionté Staffing and Recruiting Software

Assignment

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Custom fields on Candidate or linked record

lossy
Fully supported

Avionte Assignments track active work periods for placed candidates with schedule details and assignment-specific rates. Recruit CRM has no native Assignment object. We extract assignment records as a structured CSV archive with the original Avionte Assignment ID, associated Placement ID, work schedule details, and bill/pay rates. If the customer plans to use Recruit CRM for temp staffing tracking alongside a separate payroll solution, we configure custom fields on the Candidate record to hold assignment-level data.

Avionté Staffing and Recruiting Software

Time Entry

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Archived CSV (no Recruit CRM equivalent)

1:1
Fully supported

Avionte Time Entries record hours worked by placed candidates, linked to Assignments. Recruit CRM has no timesheet or time entry module. We export all posted Time Entry records as a structured CSV archive (Employee ID, Assignment ID, Hours, Date, Approval Status, Pay Amount, Bill Amount) for import into the customer's chosen standalone payroll solution post-migration. Avionte enforces referential integrity requiring a valid Assignment ID before Time Entry export; we respect this in the extraction sequence.

Avionté Staffing and Recruiting Software

Invoice and Billing Batch

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Archived CSV (no Recruit CRM equivalent)

1:1
Fully supported

Avionte generates invoices through a billing batch process tied to time entries and placements, with lifecycle states (draft, processing, posted). Only posted invoices represent closed financial records. We export all posted invoice records and line items as a structured CSV archive for the customer's finance team to enter into their accounting system or payroll platform post-migration. Avionte's billing batch workflow state determines export scope; draft and error-state batches are flagged for resolution before extraction.

Avionté Staffing and Recruiting Software

Position Category and Skill Tag

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Tag or Custom Multi-Select Picklist

lossy
Fully supported

Avionte's Positions and Skills taxonomy is a shared lookup table used by both Jobs and Candidates. A single tag like 'E-Commerce' or 'Light Industrial' can appear on multiple records. We extract the full taxonomy separately, create corresponding tags in Recruit CRM, and reattach tag associations to each migrated Candidate and Job record. This preserves the candidate-to-job matching functionality that recruiters rely on in Avionte's ATS workflow.

Avionté Staffing and Recruiting Software

Activity (Call, Email, Meeting, Note, Task)

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Activity (ATS)

1:1
Fully supported

Avionte activity logs track recruiter touchpoints with candidates and clients. We migrate call, email, meeting, note, and task engagement records to Recruit CRM's ATS Activity object, linking each activity to the corresponding Candidate or Job record by resolved ID. High-volume activity histories are chunked to handle large record counts efficiently.

Avionté Staffing and Recruiting Software

Pipeline Stage (Configurable Workflow Stage)

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Kanban Stage (Recruit CRM Pipeline)

lossy
Fully supported

Avionte's recruiting pipeline stages are configurable per workflow, with stage names and count varying by agency configuration. We extract the customer's active pipeline definition during discovery, map each Avionte stage to a Recruit CRM kanban column (New, Screening, Interview, Offer, Hired, Rejected), and configure the stage mapping before any Candidate or Job records land in Recruit CRM.

Avionté Staffing and Recruiting Software

User and Owner

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

User

1:1
Fully supported

Avionte User records (recruiters, account managers, and administrators) map to Recruit CRM Users. We resolve users by email match across both platforms. Inactive Avionte users may be archived rather than migrated depending on the customer's Recruit CRM seat count. Any Avionte Owner without a matching Recruit CRM User is held in a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision before record import resumes.

Avionté Staffing and Recruiting Software

Custom Objects and Fields (Table Editor)

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Custom Objects and Fields

1:1
Fully supported

Avionte supports custom fields on core objects via the Table Editor. We audit the customer's custom field configuration during discovery, map each to a Recruit CRM custom field of the appropriate type (text, number, date, picklist, checkbox, or multi-select), and pre-create the schema before any data import. Custom fields with complex Avionte data types (lookups, formulas, or conditional fields) are flagged during discovery for manual review and manual post-migration configuration if no direct Recruit CRM equivalent exists.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Recruit CRM lacks payroll and billing modules

    Avionte's back-office payroll module with time tracking, billing batches, and invoice generation has no direct Recruit CRM equivalent. Recruit CRM is an ATS and CRM with no native payroll, timesheet, or accounts receivable billing. We export posted Time Entry and Invoice records as structured CSV archives, but the customer must select and implement a standalone payroll solution post-migration. Firms that rely on Avionte for temp staffing back-office operations should plan for a parallel payroll platform change, which adds cost and integration complexity beyond the CRM migration scope.

  • Avionte BOLD and Classic have different data architectures

    Avionte maintains two product lines: BOLD (modern SaaS) and Classic (legacy). They have different data schemas, different API endpoints, and different bulk export formats. We determine which version a customer is on during scoping and use the appropriate extraction method. Customers on Avionte Classic must account for schema transformation beyond simple field mapping; the Avionte Classic bulk import CSV structure differs from BOLD and may require additional data normalization before import into Recruit CRM.

  • Assignment records require valid Placement IDs before extraction

    Avionte enforces referential integrity: Assignments are child records of Placements, and Time Entries are child records of Assignments. Extracting these out of sequence causes foreign key failures in Avionte's export and results in orphaned records in the CSV archive. Our extraction sequencing always establishes Placements before Assignments before Time Entries, and we validate ID mapping tables between each stage. Customers with complex multi-assignment placement histories should allow additional time for reconciliation during the extraction phase.

  • Avionte does not publish API rate limits or documentation publicly

    While Avionte runs an Avionte+ Certified Integration Program, specific API rate limits, endpoint documentation, and bulk export capabilities are not publicly accessible without a partnership agreement or NDA. We use a combination of documented bulk import formats (CSV for Jobs, Placements, and Companies), direct database extraction where API access is restricted, and the Avionte developer hub for documented endpoints. Extraction path decisions are made during discovery and communicated to the customer before extraction begins.

  • Billing batch workflow state determines what invoice data can be exported

    Avionte's invoice lifecycle moves through discrete states: billing batch creation, transaction grouping, processing, and posting. Only posted invoices represent closed financial records that can be reliably extracted. Draft, error-state, or in-processing batches are flagged for the customer's finance team to resolve or discard before migration begins. If the customer has a large volume of open billing batches at cutover, additional time is required to coordinate batch closure with their Avionte administrator before we can proceed with invoice extraction.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful Avionté Staffing and Recruiting Software to Recruit CRM & ATS data migration

  1. Discovery and edition selection

    We audit the source Avionte portal across version (BOLD or Classic), custom fields defined in Table Editor, active pipeline stages, position taxonomy size, placement and assignment volume, billing batch state, and activity history count. We pair this with a Recruit CRM edition recommendation: Pro ($100/user/month) covers most boutique search firm migrations; Business ($125-$150/user/month) adds automated email sequencing and bulk texting for higher-volume desks; Enterprise ($165/user/month billed annually) covers large multi-user deployments with AI features. The discovery output is a written migration scope with record counts per object and a preliminary object mapping document.

  2. Schema design and taxonomy remapping

    We design the destination schema in Recruit CRM. This includes provisioning custom fields on Candidate, Job, and Company records (matched to Avionte Table Editor fields), configuring kanban pipeline stages (mapped from Avionte's configurable workflow stages), creating position category and skill tag taxonomies, and defining the placement status custom fields on Candidate records that will carry Avionte pay rate, bill rate, start date, and termination date. Schema is validated in a Recruit CRM sandbox environment before any production data is imported.

  3. Extraction sequencing and dependency resolution

    We extract Avionte records in dependency order: Position Taxonomy first (for tag creation), then Companies, then Candidates with tag associations reattached, then Jobs with stage mapping applied, then Placements, then Assignments (with Placement ID lookup verified), then Time Entries (with Assignment ID lookup verified), then Activity history (calls, emails, meetings, notes, tasks). Billing batch extraction runs in parallel with finance team coordination. Each extraction phase emits a row-count and checksum report before the next phase begins.

  4. Payroll and billing archival

    We export all posted Time Entry records and all posted Invoice line items as structured CSV archives with full relational context (Employee ID, Assignment ID, Placement ID, Job ID, Company ID). Draft and error-state billing batches are flagged with their batch IDs and current workflow state for the customer's finance team to resolve. The archival CSV files are delivered with a data dictionary mapping each column to its Avionte source field, enabling the customer's new payroll platform or accounting system to ingest the data with minimal re-entry.

  5. Sandbox migration and reconciliation

    We run a full migration into Recruit CRM using production-like data volume from the extraction phases. The customer's operations lead reconciles record counts (Candidates in, Companies in, Jobs in, Placements in, Activities in), spot-checks 25-50 random records against the Avionte source, and validates kanban pipeline stage mapping and tag associations. Any mapping corrections are documented and applied to the production migration plan. Sandbox sign-off is required before the production cutover window opens.

  6. Production migration and cutover

    We freeze Avionte writes during cutover, run a final delta extraction of any records modified during the migration window, then enable Recruit CRM as the system of record. We deliver the Workflow and Automation inventory document to the customer's admin team, covering every Avionte-configured workflow stage and any custom Table Editor triggers. We do not rebuild Avionte workflows as Recruit CRM automations inside the migration scope; that is documented as a separate task for the customer's admin or a Recruit CRM implementation partner. We support a one-week hypercare window for reconciliation issues raised during the first production week.
