Overview

What this migration involves

Moving from ClearCompany to Recruit CRM is a platform reduction migration: ClearCompany bundles ATS, onboarding, LMS, and performance management while Recruit CRM focuses on ATS and recruitment CRM for staffing and agency use cases. We extract structured records from ClearCompany via its REST API using Bearer token auth, map the talent lifecycle objects to Recruit CRM equivalents, and load candidates and jobs through Recruit CRM's import interface or API with field-level type mapping. We flag three scope gaps upfront during discovery. First, onboarding workflow logic does not migrate as code; the conditional branching and task dependencies are destination-specific and require rebuild in Recruit CRM. Second, LMS content including SCORM packages cannot be imported directly into Recruit CRM's ATS-focused architecture; we deliver a file inventory for the customer's admin to re-upload manually. Third, active integration credentials (ADP, LinkedIn, Indeed) cannot be exported and must be re-established at Recruit CRM. We preserve historical hiring data including candidate profiles, application history, job records, employee information, and custom field values.

Field-level fidelity

Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Schema-aware mapping

AI proposes the map; you confirm before any record moves.

Relationships preserved

Parent–child, lookups, and ownership stay linked.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

ClearCompany

What's pushing teams away

  • Quote-based pricing with no public per-seat or per-module rates creates friction during renewal negotiations and budgeting cycles
  • Limited direct contact during implementation requires engaging a third-party integrator for complex configurations
  • Customization depth varies across modules; some users report that advanced reporting requires workarounds
  • Integration with non-listed payroll providers can be inconsistent, forcing manual data re-entry for some workflows
  • Platform complexity increases with module count, and smaller teams report feeling overwhelmed by the feature set

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 ClearCompany objects map to Recruit CRM & ATS

Each row shows how a ClearCompany 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.

ClearCompany

Candidate

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Candidate

1:1
Fully supported

ClearCompany Candidate records map to Recruit CRM Candidate records with direct field mapping for contact details, application status, source attribution, and custom fields. We preserve the association between candidate history and the original Job record by resolving the job_id reference during import. Any candidate records with duplicate email addresses are flagged in a dedupe report before final insert.

ClearCompany

Job / Position

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Job

1:1
Fully supported

ClearCompany Job records map to Recruit CRM Job with title, department, location, status (active/closed), and description preserved. The job_to_candidate relationship migrates as candidate application records linked to the imported Job. We map ClearCompany job status values to Recruit CRM status equivalents (Open, On Hold, Closed, Cancelled) during the transform step.

ClearCompany

Employee

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Employee

1:1
Fully supported

ClearCompany Employee records map to Recruit CRM Employee, including employment details, department assignment, manager reference, start date, and custom properties. We resolve the manager_hierarchy reference using the Employee-to-Employee lookup, and we flag any employees without a resolved manager as an orphan report for the admin to correct before final validation.

ClearCompany

Department

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Department / Team

1:1
Fully supported

ClearCompany Department records migrate to Recruit CRM Departments or Teams. Parent-child relationships between departments are preserved using Recruit CRM's hierarchical structure. We map department codes and names directly and confirm the org hierarchy depth against Recruit CRM's maximum nesting depth during scoping.

ClearCompany

User

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

User

1:1
Fully supported

ClearCompany User accounts including name, email, role assignment, and active/inactive status map to Recruit CRM Users. We match by email as the dedupe key. Any ClearCompany User without a corresponding email in Recruit CRM is placed in a User reconciliation queue for the admin to provision before record migration continues.

ClearCompany

Custom Field

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Custom Field

lossy
Fully supported

ClearCompany custom fields on Candidates, Employees, and Jobs vary by module and tenant configuration. We discover field definitions during scoping, map field types (text, number, date, picklist, checkbox) to Recruit CRM equivalents, and apply picklist value transformation for constrained fields. Custom fields are created in Recruit CRM before any record import begins to ensure schema consistency.

ClearCompany

Onboarding Workflow

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Candidate Note / Activity

1:1
Fully supported

ClearCompany onboarding task checklists and new-hire workflow status migrate as Candidate Notes and Activity records in Recruit CRM. The conditional branching and automation logic in ClearCompany workflows does not transfer; we deliver a written task inventory of every onboarding checklist item and its completion status for the admin to reconfigure as Recruit CRM onboarding stages.

ClearCompany

Performance Review

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Employee Note / Custom Field

1:1
Fully supported

Performance review records, goals, and ratings migrate as read-only Employee Notes or as values in custom fields if the review fields map to structured picklists. Review templates and rating scales from ClearCompany are captured as a configuration document for the customer to rebuild in Recruit CRM's custom field builder or as a separate evaluation form.

ClearCompany

Learning Course / SCORM Package

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

File Attachment (no native LMS)

1:1
Fully supported

ClearCompany LMS content including courses, learning paths, and SCORM packages cannot be imported into Recruit CRM because Recruit CRM does not include a native LMS. We export the course metadata as a CSV inventory and flag SCORM packages as files requiring manual upload to the customer's chosen LMS post-migration. Learning path relationships and completion records migrate as Employee Notes for audit reference.

ClearCompany

Document / Attachment

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Attachment

1:1
Fully supported

Documents attached to Candidate, Employee, and Job records migrate as Attachments in Recruit CRM linked to the corresponding record via the object_id reference. We export file content by URL or direct download during extraction, flag any files exceeding Recruit CRM's size threshold, and deliver a file inventory with parent record reference for the admin to verify post-migration.

ClearCompany

Integration Reference Data

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Integration Configuration (manual rebuild)

1:1
Fully supported

Integration configurations including connected job boards, assessment vendors, and payroll providers are exported as reference data for documentation purposes. Active integration credentials cannot be exported for security reasons. We deliver an integration map listing every connected system (ADP, LinkedIn, Indeed, assessment vendors) with the reconnect steps required, and the customer's admin re-authenticates each integration in Recruit CRM post-migration.

Pair-specific challenges

  • SCORM packages require manual LMS rebuild at destination

    ClearCompany's LMS module may contain SCORM packages which are packaging format bundles, not data records. Recruit CRM has no native LMS, so SCORM content cannot be imported directly. We flag SCORM packages during scoping, export the package files separately, and deliver a file inventory with metadata. The customer chooses whether to re-upload packages to a third-party LMS (Litmos, TalentLMS, or another) or convert content to a destination-native format. Learning path relationships and completion records are migrated as Employee Notes for audit trail only.

  • Onboarding workflow logic does not transfer

    ClearCompany onboarding workflows include conditional task branching, automated new-hire stage progression, and checklist dependencies that are platform-specific. Recruit CRM tracks onboarding as candidate notes and status fields but does not have a workflow engine for automated onboarding logic. We export task completion status and checklist item definitions as a written inventory for the customer's admin to rebuild as Recruit CRM candidate stages or as a separate onboarding checklist.

  • Active integration credentials cannot be exported

    ClearCompany integrations with ADP, LinkedIn, Indeed, and assessment vendors store credentials that cannot be extracted for security reasons. We export integration configuration reference data (connected accounts, sync rules, field mappings) and deliver a reconnect guide listing every integration requiring manual re-authentication in Recruit CRM. This typically requires the customer's IT team to re-authorize OAuth connections and re-map any custom field sync rules that existed in ClearCompany.

  • Data migration cost is calculated on total record count

    Recruit CRM's migration cost model is based on the total number of records in the source database, not just the records selected for import. Filtering records before migration (excluding closed jobs older than a threshold, inactive candidates, or archived employees) reduces scope and cost. We work with the customer during scoping to define filter criteria and confirm the record count estimate before migration begins.

  • Dirty data will magnify in the destination

    Duplicate Candidate records, incomplete Employee profiles, outdated Job descriptions, and inconsistently formatted custom fields migrate with their deficiencies into Recruit CRM. We run a pre-migration data quality assessment and deliver a dedupe report, an incomplete-field report, and a formatting audit before any records load. Corrections made during scoping reduce the risk of post-migration data cleanup that interrupts team adoption.

Migration approach

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

  1. Discovery and record scope definition

    We audit the source ClearCompany portal for active modules (ATS, onboarding, LMS, performance), record volumes per object type (Candidates, Employees, Jobs, custom fields), and any SCORM packages in the LMS. We define migration filters with the customer (closed job age threshold, inactive candidate cutoff, employee retention scope) to minimize total record count and cost. The discovery output is a written migration scope with record counts, a filter rationale, and a flag for any SCORM or onboarding workflow content requiring separate handling.

  2. Schema discovery and Recruit CRM setup

    We inspect ClearCompany's custom field definitions per module and map field types to Recruit CRM equivalents. We create the corresponding custom fields in Recruit CRM before any record import begins, including picklist value sets, date formats, and numeric constraints. We configure Departments, Teams, and User roles in Recruit CRM to match the cleared organizational structure from ClearCompany.

  3. Data quality assessment and dedupe report

    We run a pre-migration data quality check across all record types, generating a duplicate Candidate report (by email), an incomplete record report (missing required fields), and a formatting audit (inconsistent date formats, unformatted custom field values). We deliver the report to the customer's HR ops lead for correction before migration. Any dedupe decisions (which record wins on email collision) are confirmed in writing before we proceed to extraction.

  4. Extraction, transform, and load

    We extract records from ClearCompany via its REST API using Bearer token auth with rate-limit handling and exponential backoff. The transform step applies the custom field mapping, status value translation, and dedupe resolution. The load step imports Jobs and Departments first (parent records), then Employees, then Candidates (resolving the job_id reference), then Attachments. We use Recruit CRM's CSV import or API depending on record volume and field complexity. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins.

  5. Onboarding and LMS content inventory delivery

    We deliver three separate inventory documents. The onboarding task inventory lists every checklist item and its completion status per candidate or employee from ClearCompany. The SCORM file inventory lists every LMS package with file reference and metadata for manual re-upload. The integration reconnect guide lists every active integration (ADP, LinkedIn, Indeed, assessment vendors) with re-authentication steps. We do not rebuild workflows, re-upload SCORM content, or re-establish integrations as part of the standard migration scope.

  6. Cutover, delta migration, and validation

    We freeze ClearCompany writes during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records created or modified during the migration window, then confirm Recruit CRM as the system of record. We validate a statistical sample of migrated records against the source and deliver the final reconciliation report. We support a five-business-day hypercare window for reconciliation issues raised by the recruiting team.

Migrations under 10,000 Candidates and 500 Jobs typically complete in two to four weeks. Migrations with LMS content, employee records exceeding 2,000, multiple custom field sets, or historical engagement data extend to five to eight weeks because of the SCORM inventory handling, onboarding workflow documentation, and data quality remediation steps. The migration timeline is independent of ClearCompany's fixed 6-8 week implementation window; our migration runs in parallel with or independent of any Recruit CRM onboarding the customer chooses.
