Overview

What this migration involves

Breezy HR and Recruit CRM serve different recruiting market segments, and that difference shapes every migration. Breezy HR is an ATS built for SMB hiring teams who want a drag-and-drop interface without enterprise complexity; Recruit CRM is an ATS-plus-CRM built for recruitment agencies and executive search firms who need to manage candidates, clients, and placements in one system. Breezy stores pipeline stage definitions per-position; Recruit CRM uses a Master Pipeline with optional secondary pipelines. We split Breezy's per-position pipelines into Recruit CRM equivalents during scoping, map custom candidate fields by type (Text, Date, Dropdown, Radio, Currency, Attachment), and preserve stage history as ordered activity entries. Breezy's Bootstrap plan 30-day candidate visibility cap is a known migration risk that we detect before scoping begins. Automated Stage Actions, career site pages, and job board distribution settings do not migrate; we deliver a written inventory of Stage Actions requiring rebuild in Recruit CRM's automation builder.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

Breezy HR

What's pushing teams away

  • Add-on costs stack up quickly — SMS messaging, AI candidate scoring, and employee onboarding are separate paid extras that materially change the effective monthly price beyond the base tier.
  • Custom fields are gated behind the Pro plan, so growing teams that need tailored candidate properties hit a feature ceiling before they need the other Growth or Business features.
  • Bootstrap plan's 30-day candidate visibility window means older candidates become inaccessible unless you pay, which surprises teams migrating away from platforms with no such limit.
  • G2 and Reddit reviewers note that Breezy lacks the depth of enterprise ATS platforms for multi-department workflows and advanced analytics, driving mid-market teams toward Greenhouse or Lever.
  • Interface simplicity is a strength but becomes a limitation for agencies or high-volume recruiters who need client-level segmentation, multi-pipeline views, and placement tracking that Breezy's single-company model cannot support.

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 Breezy HR objects map to Recruit CRM & ATS

Each row shows how a Breezy HR 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.

Breezy HR

Candidate

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Candidate

1:1
Fully supported

Breezy HR Candidate records migrate directly to Recruit CRM Candidate records. We carry over all standard fields (full name, email, phone, social profiles, resume file, tags, source attribution) and preserve the original candidate ID as a custom field breezy_id__c for cross-system audit. Breezy's per-candidate stage history migrates as ordered Candidate Activity entries in Recruit CRM reflecting the pipeline progression with timestamps.

Breezy HR

Position (Job)

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Job

1:1
Fully supported

Breezy HR Positions map 1:1 to Recruit CRM Jobs. Job title, department, location, employment type (full-time, part-time, contract), and job description migrate directly. Breezy's Position state (Open, On Hold, Closed) maps to Recruit CRM's Job status field. If Breezy positions include internal job codes, these migrate as a custom field job_code__c.

Breezy HR

Pipeline (per-position stage definition)

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Master Pipeline + Secondary Pipeline

1:many
Fully supported

Breezy HR allows pipeline stage names and ordering to vary per Position. Recruit CRM uses a Master Pipeline at the account level with optional secondary pipelines scoped to specific jobs. We consolidate Breezy's per-position stage names into the Recruit CRM Master Pipeline as the primary stage set, then create secondary pipelines for positions with unique stage sequences that cannot be absorbed into the Master. The customer chooses the Master pipeline during scoping.

Breezy HR

Custom Candidate Field (Text, Date)

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Custom Candidate Field

1:1
Fully supported

Breezy HR custom fields of type Text and Date map cleanly to Recruit CRM custom fields of the equivalent type. Date fields preserve the original date format and timezone. We validate date ranges during pre-flight to catch Breezy dates that fall outside Recruit CRM's supported range.

Breezy HR

Custom Candidate Field (Dropdown, Radio)

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Custom Candidate Field (Dropdown)

1:1
Fully supported

Breezy HR Dropdown and Radio button fields store explicit option lists. We map these to Recruit CRM Dropdown fields, but the option set values must be verified against Recruit CRM's allowed values before import. Any option in Breezy that does not have a matching Recruit CRM value is flagged in the pre-flight report and the customer decides whether to add the missing option or map it to an 'Other' value.

Breezy HR

Custom Candidate Field (Currency)

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Custom Candidate Field (Number)

1:1
Fully supported

Breezy HR Currency fields carry a numeric amount and a currency code (USD, EUR, GBP). We migrate the numeric value to Recruit CRM's Number field. The currency code is preserved in a parallel text field currency_code__c so the customer can configure a currency field type post-migration if needed.

Breezy HR

Custom Candidate Field (Attachment)

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Candidate Document

1:1
Fully supported

Breezy HR Attachment-type custom fields hold files attached to a candidate record outside the main resume. We migrate these as Candidate Documents in Recruit CRM, preserving the original filename and file type. The attachment is linked to the candidate record via Recruit CRM's document attachment relationship.

Breezy HR

Tag

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Tag

1:1
Fully supported

Breezy HR Tags (up to 250 per account) migrate as Recruit CRM Tags. Tags are stored as flat key-value lists in both systems, so the mapping is direct. We deduplicate tag names during the transform phase to avoid creating duplicate tags in Recruit CRM.

Breezy HR

Source

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Source

1:1
Fully supported

Breezy HR Candidate Sources (up to 250 per account) map directly to Recruit CRM Candidate Sources. Source attribution on each candidate record migrates as the Source field value. If a candidate has multiple sources in Breezy, we concatenate them into a single Source field value in Recruit CRM and flag the record for the customer to manually split if needed.

Breezy HR

Hiring Team Member (User)

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

User

1:1
Fully supported

Breezy HR Users and hiring team members migrate to Recruit CRM Users. We match by email address. Breezy's Owner/User role assignment maps to Recruit CRM's user role model, but permission structures differ; we flag any role that cannot map 1:1 and the customer assigns the correct Recruit CRM role post-migration. Team members without a matching email in the destination are held in a reconciliation queue for manual provisioning.

Breezy HR

Candidate Note and Comment

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Note

1:1
Fully supported

Breezy HR internal comments and activity history tied to a candidate migrate as timestamped Note entries in Recruit CRM. We preserve the comment author, timestamp, and full text content. Formatting (bold, italic, links) is preserved where Breezy's export format supports it.

Breezy HR

Scorecard and Rating

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Evaluation

1:1
Fully supported

Breezy HR interview scorecards and stage-level ratings migrate as Recruit CRM Evaluation records attached to the candidate. The evaluation criteria from Breezy become Evaluation field labels in Recruit CRM, and rating scores migrate as numeric values. We preserve the evaluation author and the stage at which the evaluation was conducted.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Breezy Bootstrap 30-day candidate visibility cap causes silent data loss

    Breezy HR's free Bootstrap plan only exposes candidates added within the last 30 days in the UI and in exports. Candidates older than 30 days are invisible and are not included in any CSV or API export. We detect the account's plan tier during scoping and halt the migration plan if historical candidates exist on a Bootstrap account. The customer must upgrade to a paid plan or export immediately before scoping begins to surface all historical records. Skipping this check results in an incomplete migration with no recovery path for the invisible records.

  • Per-position pipeline stages require split mapping to Recruit CRM Master Pipeline

    Breezy HR allows pipeline stage names and stage counts to vary per Position. Recruit CRM's primary model is a Master Pipeline with consistent stages across all jobs, with secondary pipelines available as exceptions. When a Breezy account has positions with significantly different stage sequences (for example, one position with Applied, Screening, Interview, Offer and another with Sourced, Pre-screen, Technical, Culture Fit, Offer), we must split these into a Master Pipeline and one or more secondary pipelines. The customer must decide which position's stages become the Master during scoping, which adds a design step not present in 1:1 pipeline migrations.

  • Dropdown and Radio option sets must be verified against Recruit CRM before import

    Breezy HR Dropdown and Radio custom fields store explicit option lists that may include values not present in Recruit CRM's equivalent field. We run a pre-flight check comparing each Breezy option value against Recruit CRM's allowed values for the mapped field. Any discrepancy is flagged in the scoping report. Importing with unverified option sets results in record rejection or misplaced values that require post-migration cleanup. This check is mandatory for any migration involving Dropdown or Radio custom fields.

  • Breezy Stage Actions and automated emails do not migrate to Recruit CRM automations

    Breezy HR's Stage Actions trigger automated emails, SMS messages, and in-app alerts when a candidate moves between pipeline stages. These automations are tied to Breezy's internal messaging infrastructure and cannot be exported in a portable format. We deliver a written inventory of every active Stage Action with its trigger stage, conditions, and action sequence, mapped to the equivalent Recruit CRM automation. The customer's admin rebuilds these in Recruit CRM's automation builder post-migration. We do not migrate Stage Actions as working automations.

  • Breezy's add-on pricing inflates the effective plan cost before migration comparison

    Breezy HR's published per-plan prices exclude SMS messaging ($41/mo), employee onboarding workflows ($49/mo), and Breezy Intelligence AI credits ($30 per 100,000 credits). A team on Breezy Growth ($299/mo annual) with SMS and onboarding add-ons pays $389/mo in practice. We itemize add-on spend during scoping so the customer understands their current actual monthly cost, which affects the comparison against Recruit CRM's per-user pricing model and ensures the migration budget reflects a fair cost comparison.

Migration approach

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

  1. Account tier verification and candidate accessibility check

    We inspect the Breezy HR account plan tier before any other work begins. If the account is on the Bootstrap free plan, we run a candidate count check against the 30-day visibility window. Any candidate record added more than 30 days before scoping is invisible and must be surfaced by upgrading to a paid plan or by requesting a full data export from Breezy HR support before we proceed. We do not begin mapping or extraction on a Bootstrap account until we have confirmed all historical candidates are accessible. This step prevents an irreversible incomplete migration.

  2. Discovery, object inventory, and pipeline design

    We extract a full object inventory from Breezy HR: all active and archived positions, candidate records, pipeline stage definitions per position, custom field definitions (field name, type, option list), tags, sources, and user accounts. We pair this with a scoping call where the customer confirms the target Recruit CRM tier, the desired Master Pipeline stage sequence, and any positions that require a secondary pipeline. The discovery output is a written migration scope document covering record counts, pipeline mapping decisions, custom field mapping table, and a list of any Breezy data that will not migrate.

  3. Pre-flight custom field and option set verification

    We run a pre-flight check on all Dropdown and Radio custom fields by querying the option values in Breezy HR against the target Recruit CRM field's allowed values. Any value present in Breezy but absent in Recruit CRM is listed in the pre-flight report with a recommendation to add the missing option or map it to an existing value. This check runs before any data extraction and must be resolved before the migration extraction phase begins. Currency field currency codes are also verified against Recruit CRM's supported currency list.

  4. Sandbox migration and reconciliation

    We run a full migration into Recruit CRM's sandbox or trial environment using production-like data volume. The customer's recruiting operations lead reviews record counts (Candidates in, Jobs in, Notes in, Evaluations in), spot-checks 20-30 random candidate records for field accuracy, verifies that pipeline stage history is ordered correctly, and confirms that custom field values match the source. The customer signs off the sandbox migration before we proceed to production. Any mapping corrections are made during this phase.

  5. Production migration in dependency order

    We run the production migration in record-dependency order: Users (provisioned manually by the customer, validated by email match), Jobs (from Breezy Positions), Master Pipeline and secondary pipelines configured in Recruit CRM before candidate import, Candidates with stage history (activity entries ordered by timestamp), Tags and Sources (deduplicated during transform), Custom Field values (after option set verification), Notes and Evaluations (linked to their parent Candidate record). Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. Attachments and resume files are bundled by candidate and uploaded to Recruit CRM's document storage.

  6. Cutover, delta sync, and Stage Action inventory handoff

    We freeze Breezy HR write access during the cutover window, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration, then enable Recruit CRM as the system of record. We deliver the Stage Action inventory document listing every automated email, SMS, and alert that was active in Breezy HR, with a recommended Recruit CRM automation equivalent for each. We support a three-day hypercare window where we resolve any reconciliation issues. We do not rebuild Breezy Stage Actions as Recruit CRM automations inside the migration scope.
