Overview
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.

Object mapping
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
Recruit CRM & ATS
Candidate
1:1BeyondPay 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
Recruit CRM & ATS
Candidate (custom compensation field)
lossyYear-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
Recruit CRM & ATS
Candidate (custom banking field)
lossyEmployee 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
Recruit CRM & ATS
Candidate (custom benefits field)
lossyCurrent 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
Recruit CRM & ATS
Candidate (custom compliance field)
lossyActive 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
Recruit CRM & ATS
Client or Job (custom WC field)
lossyWC 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
Recruit CRM & ATS
Candidate (custom tax jurisdiction field)
lossyFederal, 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
Recruit CRM & ATS
Activity or Placement
lossyHourly 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
Recruit CRM & ATS
Candidate Custom Fields
lossyBeyondPay 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
Recruit CRM & ATS
Not Migrated
1:1BeyondPay 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.

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.
BeyondPay gotchas
No publicly documented API for automated data export
Acquisition by CBIZ may affect account standing and export cooperation
Custom fields and client-specific configurations lack public schema
Historical payroll data retention and year boundaries require deliberate sequencing
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
