Overview
Moving from Cadient to Recruit CRM is a migration from a proprietary AI-screening ATS with no public export API to a cloud-based recruitment agency platform with API access and 1000-plus integrations. Cadient's SmartScore and SmartTenure features generate derived signals that do not expose underlying model weights; we preserve SmartScore as a numeric field and flag SmartTenure as non-transferable. The most significant constraint is Cadient's lack of a documented bulk export endpoint, which means migrations depend on manual data extracts coordinated with the customer's IT team. Workflow stage definitions, automated routing rules, and any Cadient screening tool integrations do not migrate as automation; we document the current stage map and deliver a written inventory for manual rebuild in Recruit CRM. Recruit CRM's pricing is transparent (starting around $89 per user per month) versus Cadient's non-published rates, which requires direct sales engagement to determine total cost of ownership.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Cadient 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.
Cadient
Candidate
Recruit CRM & ATS
Candidate
1:1Cadient Candidate records map to Recruit CRM Candidate with direct field correspondence for name, contact information, work history, source, and tags. Resume files export as document attachments and are re-uploaded to Recruit CRM. SmartScore migrates as a static numeric custom field; SmartTenure stay-risk score migrates as a read-only informational field only. We normalize contact phone and email formats during ingestion to match Recruit CRM field validation requirements.
Cadient
Requisition
Recruit CRM & ATS
Job
1:1Cadient Requisition records (title, department, location, open date, hiring manager) map to Recruit CRM Job records. Stage definitions and routing rules migrate as metadata documentation only; Recruit CRM's Job pipeline stages must be configured manually in the platform. Any custom requisition properties (cost center, security clearance, remote policy) are mapped to Recruit CRM custom fields created during schema design.
Cadient
Application
Recruit CRM & ATS
Application
1:1Cadient Application records link Candidate to Requisition and include apply date, status, source, and referral information. These map directly to Recruit CRM Application records with the parent-lookup resolution (CandidateId and JobId) resolved at import time. Offer status migrates as an application sub-field; if offer status is stored as a separate Cadient record, it is migrated as a custom Application field.
Cadient
Scorecard
Recruit CRM & ATS
Scorecard (via Custom Field)
1:1Cadient Scorecard responses follow a structured question-and-answer format per reviewer. The full response history migrates to Recruit CRM as structured custom fields on the Candidate or Application record. SmartScore aggregates migrate as a numeric field; component-level score breakdowns are not separately exported from Cadient and therefore cannot be reconstructed in Recruit CRM.
Cadient
Interview
Recruit CRM & ATS
Interview
1:1Cadient Interview records (interviewer, date/time, type, disposition status) map to Recruit CRM Interview records with StartDateTime, EndDateTime, and Location preserved. Interview type (phone, video, onsite) migrates as a custom picklist. Notes attached at the interview record level migrate as Candidate notes in Recruit CRM. Interviewer resolution is done by email matching against Recruit CRM users.
Cadient
SmartScore Aggregate
Recruit CRM & ATS
Custom Numeric Field
1:1SmartScore is a composite signal synthesized from screening, references, and tenure prediction. The composite numeric value transfers as a static custom field on the Candidate record. The component-level breakdown (screening score, reference score, tenure signal) is not exposed in Cadient's export and therefore cannot be separated in Recruit CRM. Recruit CRM does not have a native equivalent SmartScore field.
Cadient
SmartTenure Prediction
Recruit CRM & ATS
Non-transferable (Custom Read-Only Field)
1:1SmartTenure is a proprietary ML model that outputs a stay-risk score using signals Cadient does not expose. Model weights and raw component signals are not available via any documented export mechanism. We migrate the tenure-prediction value as a read-only informational custom field on the Candidate record with a label indicating it was derived from Cadient's proprietary model and cannot be regenerated in Recruit CRM without re-running an equivalent model on the transferred candidate data.
Cadient
Workflow Configurations
Recruit CRM & ATS
Workflow Documentation Only
lossyCadient hiring workflow stages (screening, assessment, interview, offer, hire) and automated routing rules do not export as structured automation data. We capture stage names and disposition values from application records during data extraction and produce a written stage map documenting the current Cadient workflow. Recruit CRM's workflow automation is rebuilt manually from this documentation by the customer's admin team post-migration.
Cadient
Screening Assessments
Recruit CRM & ATS
Custom Fields (with re-score flag)
1:1Assessment results depend on the screening tool Cadient integrates with (AccurateNow, Paycor, or other). We migrate raw assessment scores as custom fields on the Candidate record in Recruit CRM. Any assessments requiring re-scoring in a Recruit CRM-native or integrated screening tool are flagged with a re-score recommendation documented in the migration inventory.
Cadient
Owner
Recruit CRM & ATS
User
1:1Cadient Owners map to Recruit CRM User records resolved by email match. Any Cadient Owner without a matching Recruit CRM User goes to a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision before record import resumes. User provisioning in Recruit CRM is handled by the customer directly and validated before migration proceeds.

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.
Cadient gotchas
No documented public export API
SmartTenure predictions are non-transferable
Workflow stage definitions require manual reimplementation
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 availability assessment
We work with the customer's Cadient and IT teams to assess what data is extractable from the current system. Because Cadient lacks a documented public API, we coordinate manual exports via the platform's UI (bulk export features if available) or direct database access. We audit record counts across Candidates, Requisitions, Applications, Scorecards, and Interviews, and identify any custom fields or proprietary objects (SmartScore, SmartTenure) that carry business value. The discovery output is a written data availability report specifying what migrates, what migrates as informational data only, and what does not migrate.
Schema design for Recruit CRM destination
We design the Recruit CRM target schema to accommodate Cadient's object model. This includes creating custom fields for SmartScore (numeric), SmartTenure (read-only informational), and any Cadient custom requisition or application properties. We map Cadient stage names to Recruit CRM pipeline stages and document the stage map for workflow reimplementation. Recruit CRM's Job, Candidate, and Application objects are configured before data ingestion begins. All custom fields are created in Recruit CRM during this phase.
Data extraction and cleansing
We coordinate with the customer's team to extract Cadient data in the most structured format available (CSV, JSON, or database export). Data is ingested into a FlitStack AI staging environment where we run field-level mapping, format normalization (phone numbers, dates, email addresses), duplicate detection, and data quality scoring. Any records with missing required fields are flagged for customer review. Cleansed data is held in the staging environment until validation sign-off.
Sandbox validation import
We run a full migration into Recruit CRM using production-like data volume in a validation environment before the production cutover. The customer's team spot-checks 25-50 randomly selected candidate records, application histories, and scorecard responses against the Cadient source data. Recruit CRM's built-in reporting and search are tested to confirm data is retrievable. Any mapping corrections are applied in the staging environment and re-validated before production migration begins.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: Jobs (from Cadient Requisitions), Candidates (with SmartScore and SmartTenure fields populated), Applications (with CandidateId and JobId resolved), Interviews (with User lookup resolved by email), Scorecard responses (as custom fields on Candidate or Application). Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. All SmartScore aggregates land as numeric custom fields; SmartTenure values land as read-only informational fields with a label noting the non-transferable derivation.
Cutover, validation, and workflow handoff
We freeze Cadient writes during cutover and run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window. Recruit CRM is enabled as the system of record. We deliver the stage map and workflow documentation to the customer's admin team for Recruit CRM workflow rebuild. We support a one-week post-go-live window to resolve any reconciliation issues raised by the recruiting team. We do not rebuild Cadient workflows as Recruit CRM Workflow Automation inside the migration scope; that work is a separate engagement or an internal admin task.
