Overview
Betterteam is a job-posting and basic applicant-tracking platform built for small businesses that need one-click distribution to 100+ job boards. Recruit CRM is a unified ATS and recruiting CRM designed for staffing agencies, executive search firms, and growing talent acquisition teams that need pipeline management, client tracking, and AI-powered resume parsing in one platform. The structural difference is that Betterteam stores candidate records flat per application, while Recruit CRM uses a profile-centric candidate model with unified contact records. We deduplicate candidate email addresses across Betterteam applications, reconstruct a unified candidate profile in Recruit CRM, and attach the full application history to that profile. Job-board distribution settings, automation workflows, and Careers Page HTML cannot migrate as structured data. We deliver a written inventory of job-board reconnection steps for Recruit CRM's integrations so the customer's admin can re-establish distribution after cutover.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.
AI proposes the map; you confirm before any record moves.
Parent–child, lookups, and ownership stay linked.
Calls, emails, meetings — with original timestamps.
Documents, uploads, and inline notes move with the record.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Betterteam 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.
Betterteam
Job
Recruit CRM & ATS
Job Position
1:1Betterteam Job records map to Recruit CRM Job Positions. The job title, description, requirements, location, department, and status fields transfer directly. We map Betterteam's job status values (Active, Closed, Draft, Pending) to Recruit CRM's equivalent pipeline status. Active jobs migrate first so that application records have a parent position to reference at insert time. Archived and deleted jobs are excluded from the migration scope.
Betterteam
Candidate
Recruit CRM & ATS
Candidate
1:manyBetterteam stores candidate data flat per application rather than as unified profiles. We deduplicate candidate email addresses across all applications, reconstruct a single candidate record in Recruit CRM, and attach all application history to that profile. Betterteam properties including name, email, phone, address, and social URLs map to their Recruit CRM equivalents. Any candidate records exceeding Betterteam's Solo (25/month) or Plus (75/month) cap are flagged as overflow items and migrated first to ensure they land before the plan billing resets.
Betterteam
Application
Recruit CRM & ATS
Application
1:1Betterteam Application records link a candidate to a job and include submission date, source job board, status (New, Reviewed, Liked, Declined), and any custom reviewer notes. We map the application status values to Recruit CRM pipeline stage values based on a status-mapping table defined during scoping. The source job board attribution (Indeed, LinkedIn, ZipRecruiter, etc.) transfers as a text field; granular UTM or campaign-level attribution is not available in Betterteam's export and cannot be reconstructed.
Betterteam
Candidate Rating
Recruit CRM & ATS
Candidate Score
1:1Betterteam's star-rating system (reviewers scoring candidates on a 5-star scale) migrates to Recruit CRM's candidate rating field. We preserve the numeric score and author attribution where available. If multiple reviewers rated the same candidate, we store the average score as the primary rating with individual reviewer scores preserved in the candidate notes field for audit.
Betterteam
Candidate Notes
Recruit CRM & ATS
Candidate Notes
1:1Free-text notes attached to candidate profiles in Betterteam migrate to Recruit CRM candidate notes with author attribution and original timestamps preserved. We import notes in chronological order against the unified candidate profile, so the full review history is visible in Recruit CRM's timeline after migration. Notes that reference specific application IDs are remapped to the unified candidate record.
Betterteam
Attachment
Recruit CRM & ATS
Resume / Document
1:1Resume files, cover letters, and supporting documents attached to Betterteam applications are downloaded, deduplicated by filename and hash, and re-uploaded to Recruit CRM's document storage linked to the corresponding candidate profile. Betterteam does not expose a folder structure, so all documents attach at the candidate level. We flag any oversized attachments (over Recruit CRM's 25 MB limit) for the customer's admin to review before upload.
Betterteam
Careers Page
Recruit CRM & ATS
Careers Page (URL reference)
lossyBetterteam generates hosted careers pages as rendered HTML rather than structured data objects. We export the page URL and visible job listing content but cannot reconstruct the Betterteam-hosted page in Recruit CRM. Recruit CRM provides its own careers page builder. We document the existing Betterteam careers page URL and recommended steps for re-creating the listing in Recruit CRM's page builder as part of the post-migration handoff document.
Betterteam
Job Board Distribution
Recruit CRM & ATS
Job Board Integration (re-connection)
lossyBetterteam's job-to-board distribution mappings are stored server-side and are not exposed in any exportable API or field. We cannot migrate the distribution configuration. We deliver a written inventory of every active job board connected in Betterteam (as recorded in the job record's source-board field) and step-by-step re-connection instructions for Recruit CRM's job board integrations so the customer's admin can re-establish distribution after cutover.
Betterteam
Owner / Team Member
Recruit CRM & ATS
User
1:1Betterteam team members referenced on candidate records or application assignments map to Recruit CRM users by email address. We resolve the owner reference during import. Any Betterteam owner without a matching Recruit CRM user is placed in a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision before candidate import resumes.
Betterteam
Custom Fields
Recruit CRM & ATS
Custom Fields
lossyBetterteam custom fields on Jobs, Candidates, and Applications are identified during discovery and pre-created as equivalent custom fields in Recruit CRM before any data import. Betterteam's custom field types (text, number, date, dropdown) map to Recruit CRM's corresponding field types. Any unsupported field types are documented and resolved with the customer's admin before migration begins.

Gotchas + challenges
Platform-specific issues from each side, plus the pair-specific challenges that don't show up on either platform's page on its own.
Betterteam gotchas
Job post cap enforces active posts only, not total monthly posts
Candidate limits on lower tiers cap monthly intake
Careers pages are rendered HTML, not structured data
Application source attribution is job-board level only
Yearly billing requires cancellation to stop auto-renewal
Recruit CRM & ATS gotchas
API rate limits are license-scaled and can throttle bulk migration
Custom field schemas vary per organization and require field-level mapping
Files and email attachments require separate extraction and re-upload
Email sequences and automation logic do not transfer between platforms
Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discovery and data audit
We request CSV exports of all Jobs, Candidates, Applications, Candidate Ratings, and Candidate Notes from Betterteam's dashboard. We audit the export for row count, field completeness, duplicate email collisions (indicating the flat application data model), attachment file lists, and any custom fields in use. We also collect a list of all active job boards connected in Betterteam (from the source-board attribution on applications) and document the Betterteam plan tier to identify any overflow candidate records. The discovery output is a written scope document with record counts, duplicate analysis, and a status-mapping template for Recruit CRM pipeline stages.
Status-mapping design and Recruit CRM schema preparation
We define the application status-to-pipeline stage mapping based on the customer's actual hiring process, not Betterteam's default labels. We pre-create any custom fields required in Recruit CRM that correspond to Betterteam custom fields, and we configure the pipeline stages that will receive migrated applications. Recruit CRM's pipeline builder is set up during this phase so that application imports target active stages from day one.
Candidate deduplication and unified profile construction
We process the Betterteam candidate export by email address to identify duplicate application records. For each unique email, we create one Recruit CRM candidate profile, preserving the most recent contact details and aggregating all application histories. Candidate ratings from multiple reviewers are averaged into a single score with reviewer breakdown preserved in notes. The deduplication output is a reconciliation report showing original record count, unique profile count, and application history attached per profile.
Attachment download, deduplication, and re-upload preparation
We download all resume and document attachments from Betterteam applications, deduplicate by file hash to avoid re-uploading the same document twice when one candidate applied to multiple jobs, and prepare them for re-upload to Recruit CRM. Any file exceeding Recruit CRM's 25 MB attachment limit is flagged. We group attachments by candidate profile for bulk re-upload after the candidate record is created in Recruit CRM.
Staged import in dependency order with reconciliation
We import into Recruit CRM in dependency order: Job Positions first (so parent references exist for applications), then Candidate profiles (with deduplication applied), then Applications (linked to positions and candidate profiles via lookup), then Notes, then Attachments, and finally any Owner/User mappings. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report against the source export. Owner records without a matching Recruit CRM user are held in a reconciliation queue until the customer's admin provisions the missing users.
Cutover, delta migration, and post-migration handoff
We freeze Betterteam writes during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then mark Recruit CRM as the system of record. We deliver the post-migration handoff document, which includes: the job-board reconnection inventory with step-by-step instructions for Recruit CRM integrations, the status-mapping table showing how each Betterteam status maps to the Recruit CRM pipeline, a list of any records not migrated and the reason, and the automation and workflow rebuild inventory (noting that Betterteam has no automation layer to inventory). We support a five-business-day hypercare window for reconciliation issues raised by the customer's recruiting team.
