Overview

What this migration involves

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.

Fingercheck

What's pushing teams away

  • Per-employee pricing scales cost predictably but reaches $150–$500/month for businesses with 20–40 employees before add-ons, prompting evaluation of flat-rate competitors.
  • Missing workflow features like email confirmations for absence requests force manual follow-up, frustrating admins who need complete automation.
  • Reported bugs with state tax table saves (Connecticut) and HTTP 400 errors during onboarding can create compliance risk and require support intervention.
  • Benefits administration module lacks depth for companies with complex multi-carrier health plans or annual open enrollment workflows requiring detailed employee elections.
  • Field services and construction users with multi-state workforces report that multi-state tax handling and prevailing wage calculations require marketplace add-ons rather than being included in standard tiers.

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 Fingercheck objects map to Recruit CRM & ATS

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

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Candidate

1:1
Fully supported

Fingercheck 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

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Tag or custom field

lossy
Fully supported

Fingercheck 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

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Custom field

1:1
Fully supported

Fingercheck 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)

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Custom fields or Tags

1:1
Fully supported

Fingercheck 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

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Custom Fields

1:1
Mapping required

Fingercheck 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

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Not migratable

1:1
Mapping required

Fingercheck 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

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Not migratable

1:1
Fully supported

Fingercheck 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

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Not migratable

1:1
Mapping required

Fingercheck 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

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Not migratable

1:1
Mapping required

Fingercheck 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

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Not migratable

1:1
Mapping required

Fingercheck 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

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Not migratable

1:1
Mapping required

Fingercheck 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

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Not migratable

1:1
Not supported

Fingercheck 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.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Fingercheck and Recruit CRM have incompatible data models

    Fingercheck is an HRMS and payroll platform; Recruit CRM is a recruitment ATS and candidate CRM. The only native 1:1 mapping is Employee to Candidate. Payroll data, tax withholding, time cards, PTO accruals, scheduling, cost centers, and HR documents have no Recruit CRM equivalent. Migration scope is limited to candidate profiles, contact information, and organizational tags. Any expectation of a full HRMS export into an ATS will result in a significant gap between migrated data and source data. We make this explicit during scoping and deliver a written gap report before migration begins.

  • SSN and DOB require a PII re-entry workflow

    SSN and DOB are stored in the Fingercheck Employee object but cannot migrate via Recruit CRM's import API due to PII restrictions. We extract both fields and deliver them in an encrypted, access-controlled file separate from the bulk candidate import. The customer implements an employee self-service re-entry workflow in Recruit CRM or documents the process for compliance teams. We include a template re-entry instruction sheet in the migration deliverables package.

  • Connecticut tax table bug may have corrupted employee withholding data

    A documented Fingercheck bug affected Employees assigned to Connecticut Tax Tables, causing State Tax Table saves to fail and return null values, blocking employee activation. Any Employee record with a CT tax location should be reviewed before migration. We audit state tax election fields during the export phase and flag records where tax withholding data is null or incomplete, requesting the customer confirm the correct state withholding elections before re-importing into the destination payroll system. This gotcha is sourced from documented Fingercheck platform behavior.

  • Fingercheck API lacks bulk endpoints for large employee exports

    The Fingercheck v1 API uses individual record endpoints (POST v1/Employees/AddEmployee) and does not expose a documented bulk import or batch export endpoint. For migrations involving more than 100 Employee records, we chunk the read cycle to respect any undocumented rate limits and retry failed records individually. We validate the Employee object schema per record and flag payload validation errors back to the customer for correction before retrying. This adds iteration time not present in platforms with bulk API support.

  • Custom Fields require schema discovery before Recruit CRM creation

    Fingercheck Custom Fields are customer-defined in name, type, required status, and object association. We cannot pre-create Recruit CRM custom fields until the full custom field inventory is exported and reviewed. Some Fingercheck custom fields contain payroll or benefits data with no candidate-management use in Recruit CRM. We present the full custom field inventory to the customer during discovery, recommend which fields map to Recruit CRM Candidate custom fields and which are omitted, and create the destination schema before any import begins. Skipping this step results in mismatched field types or lost values.

Migration approach

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

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

Strengths

  • Built for deskless and field workforces with biometric time clocks, geo-fencing, and mobile punch options.
  • Unlimited payroll runs included in all tiers with no per-run fees, unlike ADP's per-run billing model.
  • Consolidated all-in-one platform reduces tool sprawl for small HR teams managing hiring through payroll.
  • Flat per-employee pricing is transparent and predictable, with no long-term contract required.
  • Positive review sentiment and cited ease of setup make it accessible for non-technical HR administrators.

Weaknesses

  • Per-employee pricing scales cost significantly; 20–40 employees quickly reaches $150–$500/month before add-ons.
  • Advanced features like prevailing wage calculations, 7-level job costing, and biometric hardware are tier-gated or require paid add-ons.
  • HR workflow automations do not export via API, requiring manual rebuild in the destination system.
  • Multi-state tax handling and state-specific tax table configurations add complexity and potential for data corruption.
  • Benefits administration lacks depth for complex multi-carrier health plans with detailed employee election tracking.

Most migrations land between two and four weeks for up to 2,000 Employee records mapped to Candidate profiles with organizational tags and basic custom fields. Migrations exceeding 5,000 employees, with extensive Custom Field definitions, multiple Divisions, and an HR document archive requirement, move to five to eight weeks because of scoping complexity, Custom Field transformation work, and PII re-entry coordination. The Fingercheck API lacks bulk endpoints, which adds iteration time not present in platforms with batch export support.
