Overview
EPAY HCM and Recruit CRM serve different operational domains — EPAY bundles recruiting, onboarding, HR, benefits, time tracking, payroll, and tax filing, while Recruit CRM is a dedicated ATS and recruitment CRM for staffing firms and executive search. The migration scope from EPAY HCM to Recruit CRM is therefore scoped to recruiting objects: candidates, job openings, applications, and related communications. We coordinate the export with EPAY's internal tools (no public API exists), transform the exported data to match Recruit CRM's candidate, job, and pipeline schema, and ingest via the Recruit CRM REST API with per-license rate limiting. We do not migrate EPAY payroll, benefits, time and attendance, or HR records because Recruit CRM is a recruitment platform and these objects have no equivalent destination. Historical engagement logs, notes, and attachments attached to candidates migrate where supported; workflows, automations, and configured pipelines do not migrate as code. We deliver a written inventory of EPAY recruiting workflows for the customer to rebuild in Recruit CRM's workflow builder.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a EPAY HCM 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.
EPAY HCM
Employee / Candidate Record
Recruit CRM & ATS
Candidate
1:1EPAY's candidate records from the recruiting module (applicants to job openings) map to Recruit CRM Candidate records. We extract name, email, phone, address, work history, education, and skills from the EPAY candidate profile. The EPAY employee record (for applicants who became employees) does not migrate to Candidate — only the recruiting module applicant data moves. We preserve EPAY application status as a custom field since EPAY pipeline stages may not map directly to Recruit CRM's Kanban stages.
EPAY HCM
Job Opening
Recruit CRM & ATS
Job
1:1EPAY job postings (requisitions created within EPAY's recruiting module) map to Recruit CRM Job records. We transfer job title, description, location, employment type, salary range, and job status. EPAY job openings with multiple locations or distributed work arrangements map to individual Recruit CRM Jobs per location or to a single Job with location detail in the description. We flag any EPAY job that has been filled or archived so the customer can decide whether to include historical placements in Recruit CRM.
EPAY HCM
Application
Recruit CRM & ATS
Job Application
1:1EPAY applications (candidate-to-job mappings) map to Recruit CRM job applications linked to the corresponding Candidate and Job records. EPAY application stage history (applied, screened, interviewed, offered, hired, rejected) maps to Recruit CRM pipeline stages, though we advise the customer to review stage alignment during scoping because EPAY stage naming conventions vary by customer configuration.
EPAY HCM
Resume / Candidate Document
Recruit CRM & ATS
Candidate File Attachment
1:1EPAY resumes and candidate document attachments migrate to Recruit CRM Candidate file attachments. We extract the document, convert to PDF if needed, and attach to the Candidate record via the Recruit CRM Files API endpoint. Resume parsing results from EPAY (structured fields extracted from resume content) migrate as custom fields on the Candidate record.
EPAY HCM
Interview Scorecard
Recruit CRM & ATS
Note or Custom Field
lossyEPAY interview ratings and scorecards attached to candidate applications map to Recruit CRM Note records linked to the Candidate or Job Application. We advise the customer that Recruit CRM does not have a native scorecard object at Pro tier; Business or Enterprise tier enables more structured evaluation tracking. We document the scorecard field structure from EPAY for the customer to configure in Recruit CRM's custom fields.
EPAY HCM
EPAY Company (in recruiting context)
Recruit CRM & ATS
Company / Client
1:1EPAY's company records within the recruiting module map to Recruit CRM Company records (clients). We transfer company name, industry, size, website, and contact information. EPAY company records created in the HR context (employer organizations) are distinguished from recruiting-context client companies and do not migrate unless the customer specifically identifies client accounts to move.
EPAY HCM
EPAY Contact (in recruiting context)
Recruit CRM & ATS
Contact
1:1EPAY contacts associated with recruiting client accounts map to Recruit CRM Contact records linked to the corresponding Company (Client). We transfer name, title, email, phone, and relationship type. EPAY contacts associated with employees (internal HR contacts) do not migrate unless the customer identifies them as client-side recruiting contacts.
EPAY HCM
EPAY Candidate Notes
Recruit CRM & ATS
Note
1:1Notes attached to EPAY candidate records migrate to Recruit CRM Note records linked to the Candidate. We preserve note text, author (mapped to Recruit CRM user by email match), and creation timestamp. Notes are migrated before the Candidate record is finalized in Recruit CRM to maintain the activity timeline.
EPAY HCM
EPAY Candidate Tags / Skills
Recruit CRM & ATS
Skills (Custom Field) or Tag
lossyEPAY skills, competencies, and tags on candidate profiles map to Recruit CRM custom Skills fields or tags depending on the Recruit CRM tier. We extract all EPAY skill tags during export and recommend a custom multi-select field in Recruit CRM to preserve the full skills taxonomy rather than relying on a free-text field.
EPAY HCM
EPAY Recruiting Workflow
Recruit CRM & ATS
Not Migrated
lossyEPAY recruiting workflows and automations (stage-triggered actions, email notifications, assignment rules) do not migrate as executable code. We deliver a written inventory of every active EPAY recruiting workflow with its trigger, conditions, actions, and a recommended Recruit CRM workflow builder equivalent. The customer's admin rebuilds them in Recruit CRM's workflow automation tool post-migration.
EPAY HCM
Custom Fields (EPAY Recruiting Module)
Recruit CRM & ATS
Custom Fields
1:1EPAY custom fields on candidate, job, and application records map to Recruit CRM Custom Fields. We extract field name, data type, and picklist values from EPAY and recreate them as equivalent Recruit CRM custom fields before migrating any records. Recruit CRM's Custom Field API and Nested Custom Fields endpoint support most standard field types including picklist, text, number, date, and checkbox.

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.
EPAY HCM gotchas
No public API means migration extraction is vendor-assisted
Historical payroll and tax filing data require special handling
Benefits carrier re-enrollment is often required at destination
Employee count directly affects billing — imports increase costs
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
Scoping and EPAY export coordination
We audit the customer's EPAY HCM instance to identify all recruiting module records: candidate profiles, job openings (active and archived), applications with stage history, attached resumes and documents, interview scorecards, company and contact records in the recruiting context, and any custom fields. We submit a formal export request to EPAY's internal export team and validate the export format (CSV, Excel, or database dump) before beginning transformation. The export is the critical path item at this stage; we begin transformation design in parallel while waiting for the export file.
Schema design in Recruit CRM
We configure the Recruit CRM destination environment: custom fields matching EPAY's recruiting custom field names and data types, pipeline columns aligned to EPAY's configured stage names, candidate Skills fields and any required picklists, Company and Contact record types for client accounts, and Job record structure for active requisitions. We use Recruit CRM's Custom Field API and Schemas endpoint to pre-create the schema before any record data is ingested. Any Recruit CRM pipeline stages that cannot accommodate EPAY stage names are flagged for customer decision before schema deployment.
Data transformation and candidate deduplication
We transform the EPAY export into Recruit CRM API payload format. This includes splitting EPAY employee records into Candidates (for applicants) versus records to exclude (for pure HR/payroll employees who are not candidates), mapping EPAY skills and tags to Recruit CRM custom Skills fields, converting resume attachments to Recruit CRM file format, and resolving EPAY user references to Recruit CRM users by email match. We run deduplication checks on Candidate email addresses to identify duplicates from multiple EPAY application records.
Sandbox ingestion and reconciliation
We run a full ingestion into a Recruit CRM sandbox or trial environment using production-like data volume. The customer's recruiting operations lead reconciles record counts (Candidates in, Jobs in, Applications in), spot-checks 25-50 random candidates against the EPAY source records, and validates that resume attachments are readable and pipeline stages are correctly assigned. Any mapping corrections and custom field additions happen in this phase before production ingestion begins.
Production ingestion with rate-limit compliance
We run production ingestion via the Recruit CRM REST API in dependency order: Companies (Clients) first, then Contacts, then Candidates, then Jobs, then Applications, then Notes and file attachments. Each phase is batched (25-50 records per request) and paced to respect the X-RateLimit-Remaining header. We implement exponential backoff on 429 responses. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. The EPAY recruiting workflow inventory document is delivered alongside production cutover.
Cutover, validation, and workflow rebuild handoff
We freeze EPAY recruiting module writes during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then enable Recruit CRM as the recruiting system of record. We deliver the EPAY recruiting workflow inventory with recommended Recruit CRM workflow equivalents. We support a one-week hypercare window where we resolve any reconciliation issues. We do not rebuild EPAY recruiting workflows as Recruit CRM automations inside the migration scope; that is a separate configuration engagement.
