Overview
Moving from EMP Trust HR to Recruit CRM is a platform-type transition, not a like-for-like HRIS swap. EMP Trust HR is a compliance-first onboarding and HRIS platform with DHS-certified E-Verify integration, multi-country form management, and I-9 audit trail storage. Recruit CRM is a two-in-one ATS and recruitment CRM designed for staffing and executive search agencies, not for post-hire HR administration. We migrate what Recruit CRM can store: candidate profiles, client company records, job orders, and placement activity history. I-9 records, E-Verify case data, benefits enrollment snapshots, and training completions cannot be stored as native objects in Recruit CRM; we deliver these as tagged compliance document exports with e-signature metadata for the customer's HR team to re-enter manually or attach to candidate records as PDF artefacts. Integration connector configurations (ADP, Workday, UKG, Greenhouse, Lever) do not migrate; webhook endpoints, credential mappings, and sync schedules must be rebuilt in Recruit CRM or via Zapier if the customer uses Zapier extensions.
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.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a EMP Trust 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.
EMP Trust HR
Hire / Employee Record
Recruit CRM & ATS
Candidate
1:1EMP Trust HR employee records map to Recruit CRM Candidate profiles. We extract standard fields: name, email, phone, address, employment type, start date, work location, and manager assignment. Custom employee properties map to Recruit CRM custom fields or notes. The hire's onboarding portal state (started, in-progress, completed) is documented as a note on the Candidate record since Recruit CRM does not have a native onboarding portal object.
EMP Trust HR
ATS Candidate Records (Greenhouse/Lever Integration)
Recruit CRM & ATS
Candidate
1:1Candidates that arrived in EMP Trust HR via Greenhouse or Lever webhooks are already in candidate form but may have incomplete fields because the integration only pushes fields mapped in the connector configuration. We document the integration field map during scoping, extract all available candidate fields from EMP Trust HR, and flag any original ATS fields not included in the integration mapping so the customer can re-extract those from the original Greenhouse or Lever export before migration.
EMP Trust HR
New Hire Portal (Onboarding Package)
Recruit CRM & ATS
Candidate Note / Tagged Document
lossyEMP Trust HR's branded onboarding portal instances and portal completion state have no direct equivalent in Recruit CRM. We extract portal configuration metadata (portal ID, status, completion percentage, start date) as a structured note attached to the Candidate record. The portal's task set and task completion flags are migrated as individual task notes or checklist items on the Candidate if Recruit CRM's task module is used.
EMP Trust HR
Forms (Onboarding Packages)
Recruit CRM & ATS
Candidate Document / Note
1:1Completed forms (offer letters, NDAs, non-competes, tax withholding, direct deposit, beneficiary forms) with e-signature audit trail data migrate as tagged document records with e-signature metadata (signer ID, timestamp, IP address, certificate hash) written into the Candidate document description or a custom notes field. Form definitions themselves (the template structure) are not migrated; we deliver a written inventory of form templates requiring rebuild in Recruit CRM or via a third-party form builder.
EMP Trust HR
I-9 Records (Section 1 and Section 2)
Recruit CRM & ATS
Candidate Document (PDF Artefact Export)
lossyI-9 Section 1 (employee completion) and Section 2 (employer/agent verification) records with E-Verify case status and USCIS verification results cannot be stored as native structured fields in Recruit CRM because Recruit CRM has no I-9 or E-Verify object. We export completed I-9 records as PDF artefacts with e-signature certificate chain metadata embedded in the document record. For in-progress I-9s (Section 1 complete, Section 2 pending due to third-party notary delays), we flag the incomplete state and document the outstanding verification action so the customer's HR team can initiate a new I-9 workflow post-migration.
EMP Trust HR
E-Verify Status
Recruit CRM & ATS
Candidate Document (Artefact)
lossyE-Verify case status codes (Verified, Tentative Nonconfirmation, DHS/DOJ Query) are extracted from EMP Trust HR and written as structured text into the Candidate document artefact alongside the I-9 record. The E-Verify case number and USCIS verification date migrate as custom fields on the Candidate if Recruit CRM supports custom field creation; otherwise they are embedded in the document description.
EMP Trust HR
Task Assignments (Onboarding Tasks)
Recruit CRM & ATS
Candidate Task / To-Do
1:1Onboarding tasks assigned to new hires, managers, HR staff, and IT with status, due dates, assignees, and completion timestamps migrate as individual Recruit CRM tasks attached to the Candidate record. Task hierarchy within onboarding packages flattens to a task list; we preserve parent-child relationships as task grouping or as sequential task notes. Incomplete tasks at migration time are flagged with their due date and assignee so the HR team can reassign or recreate them in Recruit CRM.
EMP Trust HR
Training Records
Recruit CRM & ATS
Candidate Note / Tagged Document
lossyCourse completion records from EMP Trust HR's new hire learning portal (course name, completion date, score, assignment timestamp) migrate as structured notes on the Candidate record. Recruit CRM does not have a native learning management or training module. We flag any in-progress training assignments at migration time so the customer can plan for manual reassignment or external training tool re-enrollment.
EMP Trust HR
Background Check Results
Recruit CRM & ATS
Candidate Document (Artefact)
1:1Background check order summaries and status results sourced through EMP Trust HR's pre-built integrations (CastleBranch, AccurateBackground, BirdDogHR) migrate as PDF document artefacts attached to the Candidate record. Raw vendor reports (the full third-party screening package) do not migrate; these must be requested directly from the background check vendor if the customer requires them post-migration. Recruit CRM does not integrate natively with background check providers without Zapier or an API extension.
EMP Trust HR
Benefits Enrollment Snapshots
Recruit CRM & ATS
Candidate Note / Tagged Document
1:1Benefits selections captured during onboarding in EMP Trust HR (plan choices, dependent information, beneficiary designations) migrate as structured historical notes on the Candidate record. EMP Trust HR stores benefits enrollment as a snapshot at the time of onboarding completion; it does not maintain a live connection to benefits carrier APIs. We flag that any active ongoing benefits changes must be captured separately from the HRIS export and manually reconciled at the destination.
EMP Trust HR
Client / Company Records (if present)
Recruit CRM & ATS
Client
1:1If EMP Trust HR contains client or company records associated with a staffing or recruiting use case (EMP Trust HR supports staffing industry vertical per its partner page), those map to Recruit CRM Client records with company name, address, primary contact, and industry. EMP Trust HR does not typically store client records as a core object; we confirm during scoping whether any company records exist outside the employee data.
EMP Trust HR
Integration Configurations
Recruit CRM & ATS
Not Migrated
1:1Pre-built integration connector configurations (ADP, Workday, Oracle, SAP, UKG, Greenhouse, Lever) and their sync schedules, credential mappings, and webhook endpoints do not migrate. EMP Trust HR does not export connector configuration state. We deliver a written inventory of each active integration with the destination endpoint, trigger condition, and recommended rebuild path (native Recruit CRM integration, Zapier chain, or manual re-configuration).

EMP Trust HR gotchas
I-9 e-signature audit trails use proprietary storage
Third-party notary delays for I-9 Section 2
Greenhouse/Lever candidate-to-hire data mapping is partial
Benefits enrollment is a snapshot, not a live feed
API rate limits and export methods are undocumented
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 integration inventory
We audit the source EMP Trust HR environment across employee record count, onboarding package count, form template inventory, I-9 and E-Verify record volume, task assignment volume, training completion records, and benefits enrollment snapshots. We document every active Greenhouse and Lever integration field map, every pre-built connector in use (ADP, Workday, UKG, etc.), and any SFTP or HR-XML batch export configurations. We pair this with a Recruit CRM feature inventory to confirm which objects are natively supported and which require document artefact or manual rebuild. The discovery output is a written migration scope and a list of compliance artefacts requiring a manual re-entry plan.
Compliance artefact extraction and e-signature reconstruction
We extract I-9 records, E-Verify case data, and completed onboarding forms from EMP Trust HR as structured data sets. For each form with an e-signature, we reconstruct the audit trail envelope (signer ID, timestamp, IP address, certificate hash) from EMP Trust HR's proprietary storage and write it as tagged metadata alongside the form artefact. We run a test extraction on a sample of 10-20 records to confirm field completeness before running the full export. In-progress I-9s are flagged separately with their outstanding Section 2 status and the third-party notary action required.
Integration field map documentation for ATS connections
We document the Greenhouse and Lever integration field maps currently configured in EMP Trust HR, identifying every candidate field that flows through the integration and every original ATS field that does not. We coordinate a parallel extraction from Greenhouse or Lever to capture any candidate source fields not included in the integration mapping before the EMP Trust HR migration runs. This prevents data loss for fields (resume text, sourcing channel, interview scores) that existed in the ATS but were never pushed into EMP Trust HR.
Recruit CRM sandbox import and candidate schema validation
We run a test migration into a Recruit CRM sandbox or trial environment using a representative sample of employee and candidate records. We validate that custom field creation is supported, that document artefact upload works for I-9 and benefits records, that task assignment mapping resolves correctly, and that any data truncation or character encoding issues are identified. The customer's Recruit CRM admin spot-checks 25-50 records against the EMP Trust HR source and signs off the mapping before production migration begins.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in this order: client records (if applicable), candidates with full profile data, onboarding form artefacts with e-signature metadata, I-9 and E-Verify document exports, training completion notes, benefits enrollment snapshots, task assignments, and background check document artefacts. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. Integration connector configurations and webhook endpoints are documented for manual rebuild and delivered as a written handoff document; they do not migrate as code.
Cutover, validation, and compliance handoff
We freeze EMP Trust HR writes during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then enable Recruit CRM as the system of record for candidate and client data. We deliver the integration rebuild inventory (with every connector, trigger condition, and recommended Recruit CRM or Zapier rebuild path), the I-9 and E-Verify re-entry plan (with the in-progress I-9 flag list), and the form template rebuild inventory. We support a one-week hypercare window for record reconciliation issues. We do not rebuild onboarding workflows or compliance processes in Recruit CRM as that platform does not natively support them.
