Overview
Moving from CE Manager to Recruit CRM is a structural migration across fundamentally different platforms. CE Manager is a compliance-tracking HRMS built for legal, accounting, and healthcare firms managing CLE, CPE, and CPD credits across 400+ jurisdictions. Recruit CRM is an ATS and CRM designed for recruitment and executive search agencies managing candidates, clients, and placements. There is no native object alignment between these systems, so every record type requires transformation design before extraction begins. We discover the CE Manager schema including any custom firm system tables, map compliance and license data to candidate custom fields in Recruit CRM, and preserve course completion history as qualification records. We do not migrate CE Manager workflows, scheduling rules, or jurisdiction-specific credit rules as code; these require rebuild as Recruit CRM pipelines, workflows, and associated fields post-migration.
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 CE Manager 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.
CE Manager
Users
Recruit CRM & ATS
Candidates (primary) and Users (staff)
1:1CE Manager User records map to Recruit CRM Candidate records as the primary record type since these represent the licensed professionals being tracked. The user's professional title, jurisdiction, and contact information map to standard Candidate fields. Staff users within the CE Manager firm map to Recruit CRM Users. We deduplicate by email address and flag any title-merge duplicates for manual review before writing to Recruit CRM. The CE Manager HR Export employee CSV format maps cleanly to Candidate import templates.
CE Manager
Licenses
Recruit CRM & ATS
Candidate Associated Fields
lossyCE Manager License records track jurisdiction, license type, renewal dates, due dates, and credits needed. Each License maps to a set of custom Associated Fields on the Candidate record in Recruit CRM. We create field definitions for license_number, license_state, license_type, renewal_date, credits_needed, and any jurisdiction-specific custom fields before import. Compliance status is computed and written as a text field. Each distinct jurisdiction combination becomes its own field group on the Candidate.
CE Manager
Courses
Recruit CRM & ATS
Skills or Qualifications (custom object/associated fields)
lossyCE Manager Course records map to Skills or Qualifications on the Candidate in Recruit CRM. Course name, credit amount, format type (CLE, CPE, CPD), provider, and practice-area tags migrate as individual qualification records or as associated fields. We flatten the course catalog into a qualification structure that Recruit CRM's candidate profile can display. Course definitions that are not yet linked to a specific user are stored as a reference dataset for enrollment mapping.
CE Manager
Attendance
Recruit CRM & ATS
Candidate Activity or Application Status History
1:manyCE Manager Attendance records link a User to a Course and record credits earned and completion date. Each Attendance record maps to a Candidate Activity or a note entry on the Candidate record in Recruit CRM, preserving the course name, credits earned, completion date, and provider. If the destination uses a specific Activity type for training completion, we configure that type during migration setup. Attendance data that represents verified completion migrates as a structured record; incomplete enrollments migrate as pending activities.
CE Manager
Compliance
Recruit CRM & ATS
Candidate Associated Fields (computed compliance status)
lossyCE Manager Compliance is a computed state per License, not a standalone object. We reconstruct the compliance picture by pulling all License records and their associated Attendance records, computing credit totals against each jurisdiction's required credit threshold for the current reporting period. The computed compliance result (compliant, non-compliant, pending) and credit totals write to custom Associated Fields on the Candidate record. We do not migrate compliance rules as executable logic; we deliver a written inventory of each jurisdiction's credit thresholds for the customer to configure as custom fields or validation rules in Recruit CRM.
CE Manager
LearningTracks
Recruit CRM & ATS
Tags or Stages on Candidate
1:1CE Manager LearningTracks group multiple Courses into a curriculum path. Where Recruit CRM does not support a native LearningTrack object, we flatten the track into individual Course enrollments (Attendance records) and preserve the track membership as a tag or custom field on the Candidate record. The track name and required course sequence are documented for the customer to rebuild as a Recruit CRM pipeline stage or workflow if needed.
CE Manager
Providers
Recruit CRM & ATS
Clients (as accreditation sources)
lossyCE Manager Providers deliver CE courses and carry state-specific accreditation. Provider records map to Recruit CRM Client records, with accreditation details and jurisdiction coverage stored as notes or custom fields on the Client. Provider-to-course associations migrate as notes on the course qualification records. If the firm also uses Recruit CRM for placement services, Providers may alternatively map to a separate lookup table if the customer requires accreditation tracking separate from client management.
CE Manager
PracticeAreas
Recruit CRM & ATS
Tags on Candidate and Course records
1:1CE Manager PracticeAreas tag courses and user preferences to legal, accounting, or clinical specialties. Practice area tags migrate as Tags on Candidate records in Recruit CRM, enabling candidate filtering by specialty. Course-level practice areas migrate as tags on the qualification records. We preserve the practice-area hierarchy as a flat tag list compatible with Recruit CRM's tagging model.
CE Manager
Affiliations
Recruit CRM & ATS
Departments on Client or User Organization
lossyCE Manager Affiliations link Users to Firms, Departments, or Offices. Where Recruit CRM uses a client-department hierarchy, we map affiliations to either Department records on the Client object or to a custom organizational hierarchy structure. If the destination uses a flat client model, affiliations flatten to tags or notes on the Candidate record indicating firm and department membership at the time of migration.
CE Manager
Schedules
Recruit CRM & ATS
Calendar events linked to Candidates or Jobs
lossyCE Manager Schedule records define when and where a Course is offered. Schedule records migrate as calendar events linked to the relevant Course qualification records or to the Candidate's activity timeline in Recruit CRM. Date, time, timezone, and location fields are preserved. We flag any schedule records that represent mandatory compliance deadlines as reminder tasks on the Candidate record. Recruit CRM does not have a native scheduling module for course delivery, so schedules map to candidate activity history.
CE Manager
Custom Objects (Firm System Tables)
Recruit CRM & ATS
Associated Fields on Candidate, Client, or Job
lossyCE Manager allows firms to extend the schema with custom firm system tables beyond standard objects. We discover any custom tables during scoping by running explicit schema discovery against the API, enumerating all custom tables, their fields, and their relationships. We then create equivalent custom Associated Fields in Recruit CRM (field_id and value pairs per candidate or client), mapping each CE Manager custom field to a typed Recruit CRM associated field. Binary attachments from custom tables are handled separately with URI mapping. We surface the full custom schema to the customer before extraction begins and document any fields that cannot be represented in Recruit CRM's associated field model.
CE Manager
Materials
Recruit CRM & ATS
ContentDocument records or external links
1:1CE Manager Materials are course-related files or documents. We export available Material records and their links to Courses. Binary file migration is handled separately from record migration, with material URIs preserved as external links on the relevant course qualification or candidate record in Recruit CRM. If Recruit CRM's document management is used, we create ContentDocument records and link them via ContentDocumentLink to the parent Candidate or Client record.

Title merging creates duplicate user records
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
Schema discovery and scoping
We audit the source CE Manager environment including all standard objects (Users, Licenses, Courses, Attendance, Providers, PracticeAreas, Affiliations, Schedules), custom firm system tables, and engagement volume per object. We verify API access credentials and test connectivity to the CE Manager REST API v1.0. We produce a written schema inventory listing every object, field, data type, and relationship, including any fields that are computed or deprecated. This output is the authoritative source schema for transformation design.
Recruit CRM target schema design
We design the destination Recruit CRM schema to receive the migrated data. This includes creating Candidate Associated Field definitions for all License and Compliance data, creating Skills or Qualifications for Courses, and mapping any custom firm system tables to Recruit CRM associated fields (field_id and value pairs). We verify that the destination Recruit CRM tier supports the required number of custom fields and associated field definitions before proceeding. Schema is deployed into a Recruit CRM sandbox or staging environment first for validation.
Compliance state reconstruction
We extract all License records and their associated Attendance records from CE Manager. For each License, we compute the compliance status by summing credits earned from Attendance records against the jurisdiction's required credit threshold for the current reporting period. We generate a compliance snapshot per License (compliant, non-compliant, pending, and credit totals) and prepare it as structured data for Candidate associated fields. We do not migrate compliance rules as executable logic; we deliver a written inventory of each jurisdiction's credit thresholds for the customer's admin to configure in Recruit CRM post-migration.
User deduplication and candidate creation
We extract all CE Manager User records and apply deduplication by email address, preferring the record with the most recent compliance activity. Any unresolved duplicates are flagged for manual review. Clean User records are transformed into Recruit CRM Candidate records with standard fields (name, email, phone, title, jurisdiction) and any non-license custom fields. User Affiliations map to department or firm tags on the Candidate record. We validate the transformed Candidate records against Recruit CRM's field requirements before bulk import.
Bulk import and validation
We run bulk import into Recruit CRM in record-dependency order: Candidates first (with associated fields), then Courses and Qualifications, then Attendance history as Activity records. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report showing records imported, records rejected, and rejection reasons. We resolve any field mapping errors or validation failures before proceeding to the next phase. Recruit CRM's standard import validation rules are applied at this stage.
Cutover, validation, and handoff
We freeze CE Manager writes during cutover and run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window. Binary course materials are migrated as external links on course or candidate records. We deliver a migration completion report with record counts by object, a list of any records not migrated and the reason, and a written inventory of compliance rules requiring rebuild in Recruit CRM. We do not rebuild CE Manager workflows or scheduling rules in Recruit CRM; that inventory is handed to the customer for rebuild as Recruit CRM pipelines or associated-field-based tracking.
