Overview
Fingercheck and Recruit CRM serve fundamentally different functions, and this shapes every migration scope. Fingercheck manages the employment lifecycle: payroll processing, tax withholding, time tracking, PTO accrual, job costing, and benefits administration. Recruit CRM manages the hiring lifecycle: candidates, job orders, placements, client relationships, and recruitment pipelines. The only objects with a natural mapping are Employee records (as Candidates), contact details (name, email, phone, address), and organizational structure (Divisions as Tags or custom fields). Fingercheck payroll data, tax withholding elections, time card history, PTO balances, cost centers, scheduling, and HR documents have no equivalent field in Recruit CRM's candidate data model and cannot migrate as live structured data. We document the full source schema during discovery, map what maps cleanly, deliver an honest gap report for what does not, and handle the PII re-entry workflow for sensitive fields like SSN that cannot enter Recruit CRM via import API. Workflows and automations do not migrate via API and are documented as a customer-admin rebuild task.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Fingercheck 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.
Fingercheck
Employee
Recruit CRM & ATS
Candidate
1:1Fingercheck Employee records map to Recruit CRM Candidate profiles as the primary migration anchor. We extract FirstName, LastName, PersonalEmail, MobilePhone, Address, and DateOfBirth. The Employee HireDate maps to a custom Candidate field original_hire_date__c as a reference marker, not an active employment field. SSN and DOB cannot migrate via Recruit CRM's import API due to PII policy; we deliver these in an encrypted secure file and document the employee self-service re-entry workflow required post-migration. Employment status (FullOrPartTime, ExemptFromOT) maps to custom Candidate fields. Pay rates, PayType, and tax withholding elections have no equivalent in Recruit CRM's candidate schema and are flagged in the gap report.
Fingercheck
Division
Recruit CRM & ATS
Tag or custom field
lossyFingercheck Divisions represent organizational units (departments, locations, business segments) assigned to each Employee via DivisionID. Recruit CRM has no native Division equivalent, so we map Division names to Candidate Tags or to a custom multi-select field division__c. Where the customer uses Division for multi-state workforce segmentation, we recommend creating a corresponding Recruit CRM Tag group and applying tags during import. If more than 5 Divisions exist, we discuss scope trade-offs between tag density and usability.
Fingercheck
Pay Group
Recruit CRM & ATS
Custom field
1:1Fingercheck PayGroup determines pay structure (salaried vs. hourly) and drives payroll tax logic. Recruit CRM has no native pay structure field on Candidate. We create a custom field pay_group__c (text or picklist) on Candidate and migrate the PayGroup label as a string value. The customer decides whether to expose this field in Recruit CRM's candidate pipeline view or keep it as a hidden reference field.
Fingercheck
Cost Centers (1-5)
Recruit CRM & ATS
Custom fields or Tags
1:1Fingercheck supports up to 5 Cost Center fields per Employee for job costing and labor allocation. Recruit CRM has no native cost center or job costing structure on Candidate records. We create up to 5 custom fields (cost_center_1__c through cost_center_5__c) or map them to Candidate Tags depending on the customer's intended use. If the staffing agency uses cost centers to track placements by client division, the customer may prefer Tags mapped to Recruit CRM's Client object instead.
Fingercheck
Custom Fields
Recruit CRM & ATS
Custom Fields
1:1Fingercheck Custom Fields are customer-defined in name, type, and required status. We export all custom field definitions and their values per Employee record during discovery. We create matching custom fields in Recruit CRM with equivalent data types (text, number, date, picklist, checkbox) and populate values during the Candidate import. Custom fields that contain payroll, tax, biometric, or benefits data are flagged in the gap report as having no candidate-management use in Recruit CRM and may be omitted from migration at customer discretion.
Fingercheck
HR Documents
Recruit CRM & ATS
Not migratable
1:1Fingercheck HR Documents (I-9s, certifications, policy acknowledgements, onboarding paperwork, employment contracts) are stored per Employee. Recruit CRM's document model is limited to candidate resume attachments and portal-uploaded files. HR document files cannot migrate into Recruit CRM's document architecture. We recommend the customer exports HR documents as a separate file archive (PDF bundle per employee) for retention and compliance purposes outside the ATS migration scope.
Fingercheck
Time Cards
Recruit CRM & ATS
Not migratable
1:1Fingercheck Time Card records capture punch-in/out timestamps, breaks, overtime flags, and job costing associations per pay period. Recruit CRM has no time tracking module and no fields to store punch history, overtime calculations, or timesheet data. Time card data does not migrate. The migration gap report documents the date range and total hours per employee for the customer's payroll records to carry forward manually into their payroll system post-migration.
Fingercheck
Scheduling
Recruit CRM & ATS
Not migratable
1:1Fingercheck scheduling handles shift assignments, conflict detection, and shift notes for office and field workers. Recruit CRM does not have a scheduling module. Schedule records do not migrate. If the customer uses Recruit CRM for placement tracking and needs to reference historical schedule data for temp-to-hire records, we create a custom text field shift_notes__c on the Candidate record as a free-text container for a summary of recent schedule history.
Fingercheck
Tax Tables
Recruit CRM & ATS
Not migratable
1:1Fingercheck stores state and federal tax withholding elections per Employee, including state-specific table references and allowances. Recruit CRM has no tax withholding module. Tax election data cannot migrate. A documented Fingercheck bug affecting Connecticut tax table saves caused null withholding elections in some Employee records; we audit tax fields during export and flag any null or incomplete state tax election records for the customer to correct manually post-migration before running payroll in the destination payroll system.
Fingercheck
PTO and Accrual Balances
Recruit CRM & ATS
Not migratable
1:1Fingercheck tracks PTO accrual rates, carryover rules, and current balances per Employee. Recruit CRM has no PTO or accrual management module. Accrual balance data cannot migrate into Recruit CRM. We export accrual balances as of the migration date and deliver them as a separate reference file for the customer's payroll or standalone PTO administration system. If the customer adopts a new payroll platform post-migration, the accrual file supports balance carryforward entry.
Fingercheck
Payroll Exports
Recruit CRM & ATS
Not migratable
1:1Fingercheck integrates with QuickBooks Online for payroll journal exports. These export configurations (accounting codes, export type, company mapping) are Fingercheck-specific and have no equivalent in Recruit CRM, which is an ATS not a payroll system. We document the existing export configurations as a reference file for the customer's accountant or bookkeeper to re-establish in their new payroll system. QuickBooks integration should be migrated separately if the customer adopts a new payroll platform.
Fingercheck
Workflow Automations
Recruit CRM & ATS
Not migratable
1:1Fingercheck Workflow Automations handle hiring sequences, onboarding triggers, offboarding tasks, expense approvals, and HR notifications. Workflow definitions do not export via the Fingercheck API. We document the full list of active workflows, their trigger conditions, and downstream actions during discovery so the customer can rebuild them manually in their new system. This is scoped as a customer-admin action item, not a FlitStack AI deliverable.

Fingercheck gotchas
Per-employee billing model multiplies migration cost surprises
State tax table save bug can corrupt employee activation data
SSN and DOB require re-entry at most destination HRMS platforms
Workflow automations do not export via API and require manual rebuild
API lacks bulk/batch operations for large employee imports
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 schema audit
We audit the Fingercheck tenant across active Employee records, Division structure, PayGroup definitions, Custom Field definitions and values, and HR document storage locations. We identify which Employees have active recruiting or candidate records that map to Recruit CRM Candidate profiles. We document the full Fingercheck custom field inventory, flag payroll and tax fields that have no Recruit CRM equivalent, and produce a written scope that explicitly separates what migrates cleanly from what is omitted. The customer reviews and signs off the scope before migration begins.
PII extraction and re-entry planning
We extract SSN and DOB from Employee records into a separate encrypted file. We coordinate with the customer on the re-entry workflow: whether employees complete data re-entry via Recruit CRM's employee self-service portal, whether an admin bulk-enters via a separate secure form, or whether re-entry is deferred until the customer implements a dedicated HR system. We document the chosen workflow in the migration handoff package and provide a template re-entry instruction sheet.
Recruit CRM schema creation and division mapping
We create custom fields in Recruit CRM to receive migrated Fingercheck data: pay_group__c, cost_center_1__c through cost_center_5__c, original_hire_date__c, employment_status__c, and any custom fields the customer approves for migration. We create a Division Tag group and populate it with Fingercheck Division names for tag assignment during import. Recruit CRM custom fields are created before the import phase so that all fields are available during the initial load.
Sandbox staging migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into Recruit CRM's sandbox or a staging environment using production-like data volume. The customer reconciles record counts (Candidates in vs. Employees extracted), spot-checks 25-50 random candidate profiles against the source Fingercheck records, and validates that contact fields, division tags, and custom field values are correct. Mapping corrections and schema adjustments happen in staging, not production. The customer signs off staging before the production migration begins.
Production migration and delta window
We run the production migration in dependency order: Candidates first (with division tags applied, custom fields populated, and PII held in the secure file), then a delta pass to capture any Employee records modified during the staging-to-production window. We freeze Fingercheck writes during cutover to prevent divergence. A reconciliation report is generated comparing Candidate count in Recruit CRM against the expected Employee count from Fingercheck, flagging any unmatched or partially migrated records.
Cutover, validation, and gap report handoff
We deliver the production reconciliation report to the customer's admin team. We hand over the encrypted PII file with re-entry instructions, the HR document archive reference, the PTO accrual balance file, the tax election audit report (with CT records flagged), and the Workflow inventory document. We do not rebuild Fingercheck Workflow Automations in Recruit CRM; that document is for the customer's admin team to use as a rebuild checklist. We support a one-week post-cutover window for reconciliation issues.
