Overview

What this migration involves

BeyondPay and Recruit CRM serve fundamentally different business functions, which creates a significant schema gap in any migration. BeyondPay is a regional payroll and HCM service bureau acquired by CBIZ in 2020, built for Mid-Atlantic small and mid-sized businesses that need hands-on implementation and in-house tax support. Recruit CRM is an end-to-end ATS and recruiting CRM designed for staffing agencies and executive search firms, managing candidates, clients, jobs, and placements. The migration does not map cleanly because BeyondPay's core data (payroll histories, tax configurations, benefit elections, garnishments, workers compensation settings) has no equivalent object in Recruit CRM. We extract and load what biographical and employment data exists in BeyondPay (employee name, hire date, job title, department, compensation) as Candidate records in Recruit CRM, and we document the payroll data that cannot migrate as a written inventory for the customer's HR and finance teams to reconcile post-migration. Reports, report templates, and custom workflow configurations in BeyondPay do not migrate; we deliver a written inventory for manual rebuild.

BeyondPay

What's pushing teams away

  • Limited self-service capabilities compared to modern cloud HCM platforms, driving churn as growing businesses require more employee and manager self-service features.
  • Regional focus on Mid-Atlantic states restricts usability for businesses expanding geographically or moving to states outside NJ and PA service areas.
  • Acquisition by CBIZ in 2020 created uncertainty about product roadmap, support continuity, and pricing direction for existing clients.
  • Lack of publicly documented API makes integration with modern HRIS, benefits administration, and time-tracking tools difficult, causing friction as businesses adopt broader HCM ecosystems.
  • Modern HCM competitors offer broader suites including recruiting, onboarding, performance management, and employee experience tools that BeyondPay does not provide.

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 BeyondPay objects map to Recruit CRM & ATS

Each row shows how a BeyondPay 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.

BeyondPay

Employee

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Candidate

1:1
Fully supported

BeyondPay Employee records with biographical and employment data (name, address, date of birth, hire date, termination date, job title, department, employment status) map to Recruit CRM Candidate records. The mapping preserves BeyondPay's employment status and job title as Candidate custom fields. Hire date and department map to Recruit CRM's built-in WorkExperience or custom fields. We request the complete employee roster from BeyondPay's implementation team during discovery and cross-reference against any active recruiting pipeline in Recruit CRM to avoid duplicating records for employees who are also active candidates.

BeyondPay

Payroll History

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Candidate (custom compensation field)

lossy
Mapping required

Year-to-date wage totals, pay period earnings, and current compensation figures from BeyondPay's payroll history migrate as read-only custom fields on the corresponding Recruit CRM Candidate record. Historical payroll detail (per-pay-period breakdowns, deduction line items, tax withholdings) does not have a home in Recruit CRM's candidate schema and is excluded from the migration load. We document each excluded payroll record as a written inventory item for the customer's finance team to reconcile against their year-end reporting requirements.

BeyondPay

Direct Deposit Information

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Candidate (custom banking field)

lossy
Mapping required

Employee bank routing and account numbers for direct deposit migrate as encrypted custom fields on the Candidate record in Recruit CRM, noting that Recruit CRM is a recruiting and ATS platform rather than a payroll system. If the customer intends to use Recruit CRM as the system of record for candidate banking information for payroll purposes, we flag this as a non-standard use case requiring explicit confirmation from Recruit CRM's data handling policies. Employees with split deposit configurations are flagged individually for manual verification before activation.

BeyondPay

Benefit Elections

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Candidate (custom benefits field)

lossy
Mapping required

Current health, dental, vision, and retirement benefit elections migrate as a structured snapshot in a Candidate custom field or attached document reference. Recruit CRM does not have a native benefits administration object, so we preserve the election data as a formatted summary that the customer's HR team can reference. Historical benefit election changes and effective-dated transitions are excluded from the migration scope as Recruit CRM does not support the temporal schema required for benefit history tracking.

BeyondPay

Garnishments and Deductions

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Candidate (custom compliance field)

lossy
Mapping required

Active court-ordered garnishments and voluntary deductions migrate as structured notes on the Candidate record with effective dates and deduction amounts. Inactive garnishments are excluded. Recruit CRM does not have a payroll deduction management object, so garnishments are preserved as reference data rather than as an active payroll process. The customer's HR or payroll team is responsible for re-establishing garnishments in their new payroll system after migration.

BeyondPay

Workers Compensation Settings

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Client or Job (custom WC field)

lossy
Mapping required

WC class codes, rates, and carrier information from BeyondPay's workers compensation configuration migrate as custom fields on Recruit CRM Client or Job records if the staffing agency manages temp or contract placements. Class code tables are verified against the destination system's values, and any mismatches are flagged for manual correction. Recruit CRM does not have a native workers compensation object, so WC settings are preserved as reference data.

BeyondPay

Tax Configurations

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Candidate (custom tax jurisdiction field)

lossy
Mapping required

Federal, state, and local tax codes and filing statuses configured in BeyondPay migrate as read-only custom fields on Candidate records in Recruit CRM. NJ and PA-specific codes are mapped explicitly. Recruit CRM does not process payroll tax calculations, so tax configuration data serves as a reference for the customer's new payroll system admin to re-enter during implementation.

BeyondPay

Time Tracking Data

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Activity or Placement

lossy
Mapping required

Hourly employee time entries, overtime calculations, and accrual balance snapshots migrate as Activity records in Recruit CRM if the staffing agency uses Recruit CRM to track time against placements. We verify whether BeyondPay tracks PTO and leave accruals separately, as Recruit CRM's PTO tracking is limited compared to dedicated HRIS platforms. If accrual data cannot map cleanly to Recruit CRM's Activity schema, it is documented in the written inventory for the customer's HR team.

BeyondPay

Custom Fields

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Candidate Custom Fields

lossy
Mapping required

BeyondPay allows custom fields configured per client with no public schema documentation. We request a complete field inventory from the BeyondPay implementation team during discovery and map each to a corresponding custom field in Recruit CRM. Any custom fields without a clear destination equivalent are flagged for manual review; the customer chooses to map them to a custom Candidate field, store them as a document attachment, or exclude them from the migration scope.

BeyondPay

Reports and Report Templates

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Not Migrated

1:1
Not supported

BeyondPay does not expose a documented report export or template API. Custom report definitions, scheduled reports, and saved report configurations are not migratable and must be rebuilt in Recruit CRM's native reporting dashboard. We deliver a written inventory of every BeyondPay report the customer references regularly, with the equivalent Recruit CRM report or dashboard widget identified, so the customer's admin can rebuild them post-migration.

Pair-specific challenges

  • BeyondPay has no public API; export requires implementation team coordination

    BeyondPay does not publish a developer API or public data export documentation. All data extraction requires coordination with their implementation or support team, who produce exports manually or via internal tools. We engage the BeyondPay team early in scoping to establish export timelines, confirm data completeness, and agree on file formats before we begin transformation and loading work in Recruit CRM. Delays in BeyondPay's export response are the most common cause of timeline slippage in this migration pair.

  • Recruit CRM is a recruiting ATS, not a payroll system; payroll data has no native home

    BeyondPay's core data objects (payroll histories, tax configurations, benefit elections, garnishments, workers compensation settings) have no equivalent schema in Recruit CRM. We extract and load biographical and employment data from BeyondPay as Candidate records, but year-to-date wages, tax withholdings, deduction histories, and benefit election timelines cannot migrate as live data. We document every excluded record as a written inventory item for the customer's HR and finance teams to reconcile post-migration against their new payroll system.

  • CBIZ acquisition may affect account standing and export cooperation

    Since December 2020, BeyondPay operates as a CBIZ subsidiary. Account management, support escalation paths, and export request processes may now route through CBIZ rather than directly through BeyondPay staff. We verify current account contacts and confirm export authorization with CBIZ before initiating migration work. If CBIZ has changed internal data retention policies post-acquisition, some historical payroll data may not be available for export.

  • Custom fields lack public schema documentation

    BeyondPay configures custom fields per client, but no public schema documentation exists. We request a complete field inventory from the BeyondPay implementation team during discovery. Any fields without a clear Recruit CRM equivalent are flagged for manual review; the customer chooses to map them to a custom Candidate field, store them as an attachment, or exclude them. Undocumented fields can delay the mapping phase by one to two weeks if the implementation team is slow to respond with the inventory.

  • Dual-role records require de-duplication

    In staffing and recruiting contexts, a BeyondPay employee record may also represent an active Candidate in Recruit CRM (for example, an internal temp-to-hire employee). We cross-reference the BeyondPay employee roster against existing Recruit CRM candidate records by name and email during scoping to identify overlaps. Duplicate candidate records are flagged for the customer's review before the migration load begins to avoid creating redundant profiles.

Migration approach

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

  1. Discovery and export coordination

    We audit the BeyondPay account to identify all employee records, payroll histories, benefit elections, tax configurations, and custom fields in scope. Because BeyondPay has no public API, we coordinate directly with BeyondPay's implementation team to request the data export. We confirm file formats (CSV, Excel), field inventories, and export timelines during this phase. We simultaneously audit the Recruit CRM destination account to verify custom field configuration capacity and Candidate object schema constraints.

  2. Data extraction from BeyondPay

    We receive the BeyondPay data export and validate completeness against the discovery inventory. We check record counts per object, verify date ranges for payroll histories, and confirm that all custom fields are included in the export. Any gaps or partial exports trigger a request back to BeyondPay's implementation team before we proceed to transformation. We document every field included and excluded from the export for the final reconciliation report.

  3. Schema mapping and transformation

    We design the mapping from BeyondPay's export fields to Recruit CRM's Candidate object and custom fields. Biographical data (name, address, contact information) maps to standard Candidate fields. Employment data (hire date, job title, department, compensation) maps to custom Candidate fields. Payroll histories, tax configurations, benefit elections, and garnishments are processed as read-only reference data and mapped to structured custom fields or documented as excluded items. Any custom fields from BeyondPay are mapped to Recruit CRM custom fields or flagged for manual assignment.

  4. Sandbox migration and reconciliation

    We run a full migration into Recruit CRM's sandbox environment (or a test workspace) using the extracted BeyondPay data. The customer reconciles record counts, spot-checks 25-50 candidate records against the source BeyondPay export, and verifies that employment data populated correctly in Recruit CRM's Candidate fields. Any mapping corrections, custom field additions, or data quality issues are resolved in the sandbox before production migration begins.

  5. Production migration and cutover

    We run the production migration after sandbox sign-off. Candidates are loaded with all biographical and employment data, and payroll reference data is stored in custom fields or documented attachments as specified during mapping. We freeze BeyondPay writes during cutover and run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window. Active employee records are confirmed as Candidates; any records previously imported to Recruit CRM are verified against the BeyondPay roster to avoid duplication.

  6. Deliverables handoff and payroll data inventory

    We deliver the migrated Candidate records in Recruit CRM and a written payroll data inventory documenting every BeyondPay record that could not migrate to Recruit CRM's schema. This inventory includes record type, field count, date range, and the reason for exclusion, serving as a working document for the customer's HR and finance teams to reconcile in their new payroll system. We do not rebuild BeyondPay reports, workflows, or custom payroll configurations in Recruit CRM; we deliver the written inventory identifying each for manual rebuild in Recruit CRM's native reporting dashboard.

Most migrations land between two and four weeks for accounts with up to 200 employee records and no complex custom field inventories. The primary variable is BeyondPay's export response time; because BeyondPay has no public API, the implementation team must produce the export manually, which can extend timelines to four to eight weeks if coordination is slow or if the export requires multiple iterations to include all custom fields. Large employee databases (over 500 records) with multi-year payroll histories and complex garnishment configurations move to the longer timeline.
