Overview

What this migration involves

Moving from Beehire to Recruit CRM addresses the closed-system constraint that most Beehire customers cite as their breaking point: Beehire publishes no public API, forcing all data extraction through manual UI sessions and CSV downloads, which limits scalability and integration capability. Recruit CRM exposes a documented REST API that supports bulk and individual record operations, enabling programmatic access post-migration. We extract Beehire's Jobs, Candidates, pipeline stage configurations, pre-selection questionnaire responses, and Compatibility Scores via automated UI sessions, validate against in-app record counts, then load into Recruit CRM using its API endpoints. Compatibility Scores transfer as custom numeric fields so the destination platform can apply its own AI matching on top of the raw data. Automated workflows, email templates tied to Beehire-specific scoring triggers, and employer branding page layouts do not migrate as functional code or live assets; we deliver a written specification of every Pro-tier automation and a structured export of branding copy and media files for the Recruit CRM admin to rebuild on their career site.

Field-level fidelity

Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Schema-aware mapping

AI proposes the map; you confirm before any record moves.

Relationships preserved

Parent–child, lookups, and ownership stay linked.

Full activity history

Calls, emails, meetings — with original timestamps.

Attachments & notes

Documents, uploads, and inline notes move with the record.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

Beehire

What's pushing teams away

  • The jump from Starter (1–10 jobs) to Pro (30 jobs) with a significant price increase (€80 → €320/month) forces growing teams to upgrade sooner than expected.
  • The absence of a documented public API makes Beehire a closed system: integrations with custom HR tools or bespoke reporting require workarounds.
  • Employer branding assets built inside Beehire's page builder are not portable; rebuilding multilingual careers sites on a new platform takes time.
  • Pro-tier-only features like automated workflows and custom email templates mean that mid-market teams lose core automation when they downgrade or move.
  • Smaller teams report that the interface, while easy to use initially, lacks depth for complex, multi-stage hiring pipelines.

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 Beehire objects map to Recruit CRM & ATS

Each row shows how a Beehire 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.

Beehire

Job

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Job Order

1:1
Fully supported

Beehire Job records (title, description, multilingual page copy, status, job-board distribution metadata) map to Recruit CRM Job Order records. We export all published and archived Jobs; Starter-tier accounts limited to 10 active postings require archived roles to be temporarily reactivated before export to capture their candidate pipelines. Job board distribution metadata (board name, posting date, status) exports as structured rows linked to the parent Job.

Beehire

Candidate

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Candidate

1:1
Fully supported

Beehire Candidate records (name, email, phone, application date, source channel, current pipeline stage) map directly to Recruit CRM Candidate records. The email address serves as the dedupe key during import. Application timestamps migrate as created_date to preserve the chronological pipeline entry record. Candidate Tags from Beehire map to Recruit CRM Tags (free-form labels) with a one-to-one preservation of the per-candidate tag list.

Beehire

Pipeline Stage

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Pipeline Stage

lossy
Fully supported

Beehire's fully customisable pipeline (stage names, order, automation triggers per stage) exports as a structured stage list. We reconstruct the pipeline in Recruit CRM using its kanban pipeline builder. Custom stage names and ordering migrate as labelled stages; any Beehire automation triggers referencing a stage are documented in the automation handoff spec rather than migrated as live rules.

Beehire

Pre-selection Questionnaire

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Custom Intake Form / Custom Field

1:1
Fully supported

Beehire pre-selection questions attached to a Job map to Recruit CRM custom fields on the Candidate or Job Order. Each question becomes a labelled custom field of the appropriate type (text, numeric, or picklist). The candidate's answer populates the field on the Candidate record post-application. We preserve the full question text in a separate lookup table so the Recruit CRM admin can reference the original question wording when reviewing answers.

Beehire

Compatibility Score

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Custom Numeric Field

1:1
Fully supported

Beehire's Compatibility Score (0–100, calculated by Beehire's proprietary algorithm against pre-selection questionnaire answers) exports as a custom numeric field on the Candidate record. The raw score migrates as-is. We also export the underlying questionnaire answer set so that Recruit CRM's AI matching can independently evaluate candidates against the same criteria. The Beehire-proprietary algorithm itself cannot be replicated; the score serves as a preserved ranking signal rather than a live calculation.

Beehire

Video Interview Question and Response

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Custom Attachment / Candidate Note

1:1
Fully supported

Beehire async video interview questions per Job export as text records, and candidate video response URLs export as temporary media references. We download all video files before the Beehire account is decommissioned because Beehire URLs expire when the source account lapses. Downloaded video files are re-hosted and linked to the Candidate record in Recruit CRM as external attachments or notes with the question text preserved for context. Recruit CRM does not have a native async video interview module; the video files serve as candidate-provided media artifacts rather than a structured interview workflow.

Beehire

Automated Workflow and Email Template

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Workflow Specification (Written Document)

lossy
Fully supported

Pro-tier Beehire automated email workflows and custom email templates do not migrate as functional code. We export the template HTML body, subject line, trigger condition (e.g., 'send 3 days after application if no response'), and any Beehire-specific event references (such as Compatibility Score threshold triggers) as a written automation specification document. The Recruit CRM admin uses this spec to rebuild equivalent rules in Recruit CRM's Business-tier workflow builder. Triggers based on Beehire-specific events require field-level adaptation to Recruit CRM's available trigger conditions.

Beehire

Interview Record

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Interview / Task

1:1
Fully supported

Beehire interview scheduling records (date, time, interviewer name, interview type, status, calendar link) from Pro-tier accounts export as Recruit CRM interview records or calendar Task entries. Interviewer name maps to the assigned Recruit CRM recruiter. Calendar integration links do not migrate because Beehire's Pro-tier calendar integration is a proprietary connector; we document the original scheduling data so the Recruit CRM admin can configure their own calendar connection (Gmail, Office 365) post-migration.

Beehire

Employer Branding Asset

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Content Export Package (Written Deliverable)

1:1
Fully supported

Beehire personalised multilingual job offer pages and career pages export as flat assets: page copy in each language as structured text, logo files (PNG/SVG), and banner images as standalone files. The page layout, styling, language-switching mechanism, and rendered HTML remain inside Beehire's renderer and cannot be transferred as a working page. We deliver the content assets in a structured format (JSON manifest with file references) so the Recruit CRM admin can repurpose copy and media on a destination careers page or CMS.

Beehire

Candidate Tag

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Tag

1:1
Fully supported

Beehire free-form candidate tags migrate to Recruit CRM Tags without transformation. The per-candidate tag list preserves fully. Recruit CRM's tag system uses the same label-based model as Beehire, making this a direct one-to-one mapping with no type conversion required.

Beehire

Source Channel

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Source

1:1
Fully supported

The application source channel (job board referral, direct application, referral, etc.) stored on Beehire Candidate records migrates to the Recruit CRM Candidate Source field. If Beehire tracks granular source attribution per job board, we preserve the full attribution string to support Recruit CRM's reporting by source.

Beehire

Owner (Recruiter)

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

User

1:1
Fully supported

Beehire Owner (the recruiter assigned to a Job or Candidate) maps to a Recruit CRM User record resolved by email address match. Any Owner without a matching Recruit CRM User is held in a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision before Candidate record import proceeds. The owner assignment on Candidate and Job Order records resolves at migration time once the User lookup table is validated.

Pair-specific challenges

  • No Beehire API forces UI-scraping export at scale

    Beehire provides no REST or GraphQL endpoint for programmatic data access. We automate authenticated UI sessions to trigger CSV exports from the candidate list and job board views, then parse the downloaded files. On accounts with over 5,000 Candidates, this approach risks session timeouts and pagination gaps. We validate every extracted CSV against in-app record counts before proceeding to the Recruit CRM load. Customers with very large historical volumes may need to schedule extraction during off-peak hours to avoid session interruptions.

  • Compatibility Scores are Beehire-proprietary and non-replicable

    The Beehire Compatibility Score (0–100) is generated by a closed algorithm using pre-selection questionnaire answers. We export the raw score as a custom numeric field on the Candidate record and also export the underlying answer set so Recruit CRM's own AI matching can apply independent logic. The Beehire algorithm itself has no documented formula and cannot be reproduced. Any workflow, sorting rule, or automation in Beehire that was triggered by a Compatibility Score threshold must be rebuilt on Recruit CRM using a different field or condition.

  • Starter-tier job posting limits may exclude archived candidate pipelines

    Beehire Starter plans cap active postings at 10 roles. Historical jobs that are archived or inactive do not appear in a standard export unless reactivated. If the customer's archived Jobs contain candidate pipelines that need migration, those jobs must be reactivated temporarily on Starter, which may consume a posting slot and trigger a Beehire tier-upgrade prompt. We flag all archived jobs during scoping and advise the customer on which roles require reactivation before extraction begins.

  • Video interview URLs expire if Beehire account lapses before download

    Beehire stores async video interview responses as temporary media URLs tied to the account session. If the Beehire subscription lapses before we complete the video file download step, the URLs become inaccessible and the candidate video artifacts are lost permanently. We prioritise video file extraction as an early step in the migration sequence, before any account decommissioning. Downloaded files are re-hosted and attached to Candidate records in Recruit CRM as external media.

  • Automated workflows and email templates do not migrate as functional code

    Pro-tier Beehire automated email workflows and custom email templates are tied to Beehire-specific events including Compatibility Score thresholds and Beehire-only pipeline stage triggers. We export template HTML, subject lines, and trigger logic as a written specification document. Recruit CRM's workflow builder uses different trigger conditions and action types. The customer's Recruit CRM admin rebuilds these as part of post-migration configuration. Workflows and templates tied to Beehire-specific scoring events require particular adaptation because Recruit CRM has no Compatibility Score field by default.

Migration approach

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

  1. Scoping and Beehire export feasibility assessment

    We audit the source Beehire account across tier (Starter/Pro/Enterprise), active and archived job count, candidate volume per pipeline stage, and Pro-tier feature usage (automations, video questions, interview scheduling). We identify any Starter-tier posting-limit constraints that require archived job reactivation. We also confirm the customer has not cancelled or scheduled cancellation of the Beehire account, because active sessions are required for UI-based export. The scoping output is a written migration scope document listing every object to be migrated, the export method per object, and any Beehire-tier constraints that affect the plan.

  2. Automated UI session extraction and CSV validation

    We run authenticated UI automation sessions against Beehire to trigger CSV exports for Candidates, Jobs, and pipeline stage configurations. For accounts with large candidate volumes, we paginate extraction across multiple sessions to avoid timeout. We cross-validate every exported CSV against Beehire's in-app record counts (total candidates, total jobs, stage distribution) before proceeding. Any discrepancy over 2% triggers a re-extraction before transformation begins.

  3. Data transformation and Compatibility Score preservation

    We transform the Beehire CSV exports into Recruit CRM API-compatible record payloads. Candidate email addresses serve as dedupe keys. Beehire Compatibility Scores populate a custom numeric field; underlying questionnaire answers export as a JSON-encoded custom field for Recruit CRM's AI matching to use independently. Video interview URLs are queued for immediate download before any session teardown. Tag lists, source channels, and application dates map to Recruit CRM's corresponding fields with no type conversion required.

  4. Recruit CRM schema preparation and API configuration

    We configure the Recruit CRM destination account before any data load: custom fields for Compatibility Scores and questionnaire answer sets are created per the transformation spec, pipeline stages are built to match Beehire's stage names and ordering, and Tags are provisioned to match the existing tag vocabulary. We authenticate the Recruit CRM API using the customer's API key and run a connection test with a small batch of Candidate records before the full load begins.

  5. Production load with dedupe and reconciliation

    We load records into Recruit CRM in dependency order: Job Orders first (as the parent context for Applications), then Candidates (with dedupe-key resolution on email), then Applications linking Candidates to Job Orders with the original pipeline stage. Custom fields (Compatibility Score, questionnaire answers) populate on each Candidate record. Tags, source channels, and application timestamps complete the record. We emit a row-count reconciliation report after each phase before the next begins.

  6. Automation handoff and cutover

    We deliver the written automation specification document listing every Beehire Pro-tier workflow and email template with trigger conditions, HTML content, and recommended Recruit CRM equivalents. We deliver the employer branding content export package (structured copy and media files) with a manifest for the Recruit CRM admin to use in rebuilding career pages. We freeze Beehire writes, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then hand off. We do not rebuild Beehire workflows as Recruit CRM workflows inside the migration scope; that work belongs to the customer's Recruit CRM admin post-migration.

Most migrations land between three and five weeks for accounts under 10,000 Candidates and 50 active Jobs with no archived pipeline reactivation. Projects exceeding 25,000 Candidates, requiring Starter-tier archived job reactivation, or involving bulk video file downloads move to seven to ten weeks because of the UI-scraping overhead and session-timeout management on large candidate exports. Recruit CRM's API load itself is fast (bulk insert completes in hours for records under 50,000), but the Beehire extraction phase is the primary timeline driver.
