Overview
Moving from GoHire to Recruit CRM is a migration from a job-board-first ATS built for SMBs into a recruitment-agency CRM that emphasises pipeline management and custom workflows. The structural difference that most affects migration is GoHire's absence of a documented public API: all GoHire data retrieval relies on the customer performing a full admin-panel export before migration begins, and the customer must separately export resume files through GoHire's bulk-download tool. We ingest that exported data, normalise it against Recruit CRM's object schema, map GoHire's configurable pipeline stages to Recruit CRM's candidate pipeline stages, and load candidates with their application history intact. Screening question responses transfer as structured data against custom fields that we pre-create in Recruit CRM. Workflows, automated candidate communications, text recruiting bots, and GoHire's careers page configuration do not migrate; we deliver a written inventory of these for the customer's admin to rebuild in Recruit CRM's settings.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a GoHire 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.
GoHire
Job
Recruit CRM & ATS
Job
1:1GoHire Jobs map directly to Recruit CRM Job records. We transfer job title, description, requirements, department, location, employment type, and open/closed status. GoHire's job-board distribution metadata (which boards received the listing) is preserved as a custom multi-select field on the Job in Recruit CRM, but the re-publishing action is manual in Recruit CRM — we provide the board list as a reference so the customer's team can re-post directly. Active versus closed status maps cleanly; archived jobs can be imported as closed records at the customer's preference.
GoHire
Candidate
Recruit CRM & ATS
Candidate
1:1GoHire Candidate profiles map to Recruit CRM Candidate records with full contact information (name, email, phone, address), work history, education, and skills preserved. Resume files must be exported from GoHire's bulk-download tool by the customer before account closure; we reimport them as attachments linked to the Candidate record in Recruit CRM. If the customer no longer has GoHire admin access, resumes may need manual retrieval or may be inaccessible. We flag this requirement during migration kickoff.
GoHire
Application
Recruit CRM & ATS
Candidate-Job association (Application)
1:1GoHire Application records link a Candidate to a Job and carry source attribution (which job board or direct link generated the application). These map to Recruit CRM's application records with the Candidate and Job lookups resolved at migration time. Source channel data (Indeed, Monster, direct referral) transfers as a text field on the application record. We preserve the application date and any score or rating values as structured fields.
GoHire
Pipeline Stages
Recruit CRM & ATS
Pipeline Stages
1:1GoHire uses a configurable candidate pipeline with customer-defined stage names (e.g. Applied, Screening, Interview, Offer, Hired). We map these to Recruit CRM pipeline stages using a naming convention agreed with the customer during scoping. If GoHire stage names differ significantly from Recruit CRM's defaults, we create matching stages in Recruit CRM before migration and update the destination pipeline configuration accordingly.
GoHire
Screening Questions
Recruit CRM & ATS
Custom Fields on Candidate or Job
1:1GoHire custom screening questions attached to a Job are stored as custom fields in GoHire's data model. Their response values transfer as structured data into Recruit CRM custom fields that we pre-create during schema mapping. The question text itself is documented as part of the migration handoff so the customer's admin can recreate the question label in Recruit CRM's field configuration if desired.
GoHire
Interview Events
Recruit CRM & ATS
Calendar Events
1:1GoHire interview scheduling records and associated calendar invite data transfer as calendar events in Recruit CRM. We note that Recruit CRM's Google Calendar sync is two-way for created and updated meetings but does NOT sync deleted meetings back to Google Calendar — if a meeting is deleted in Recruit CRM, it remains in Google Calendar and must be removed manually. Meeting link preferences (Google Meet versus Microsoft Teams versus a custom scheduling link) do not transfer and must be reconfigured in Recruit CRM's calendar settings.
GoHire
Team Members
Recruit CRM & ATS
Users
1:1GoHire hiring team accounts (recruiters, hiring managers) transfer as User records in Recruit CRM. Role-based permissions from GoHire map to Recruit CRM's permission model, which may require manual review for admin versus recruiter versus hiring manager distinctions. Users without a matching email in Recruit CRM at migration time are placed in a reconciliation queue for the customer to provision before the user-dependent records are imported.
GoHire
Custom Properties (Jobs)
Recruit CRM & ATS
Custom Fields on Job
1:1GoHire supports custom fields on Jobs at all paid tiers. We discover these at scan time and map them to equivalent custom fields in Recruit CRM's Job configuration. Any fields that cannot be matched by name or data type are flagged in the mapping document for the customer's admin to review and resolve before the final import.
GoHire
Custom Properties (Candidates)
Recruit CRM & ATS
Custom Fields on Candidate
1:1GoHire Candidate custom fields are discovered during scan and mapped to Recruit CRM custom fields on the Candidate object. Multi-select or checkbox fields in GoHire map to multi-select picklist fields in Recruit CRM where supported. Free-text custom fields map directly to text fields. The customer chooses during scoping whether to include or exclude specific low-value custom fields to keep the destination clean.
GoHire
Careers Page Configuration
Recruit CRM & ATS
Careers Page Template Documentation
lossyGoHire's built-in careers page builder configuration (branding, layout settings, job listing display preferences) does not transfer as live pages in Recruit CRM. We export the careers page template settings as a written document — domain, branding colours, header content, footer content, and the list of jobs displayed — so the customer's admin can reconfigure the Recruit CRM careers page using that reference. Recruit CRM provides a careers page builder but the setup is manual.

Migration approach
Migration kickoff and GoHire export coordination
We schedule a kickoff call with the customer's GoHire admin to confirm the full data export process. The customer logs into GoHire, navigates to the admin export section, and generates a complete data export covering Jobs, Candidates, Applications, Pipeline Stages, Screening Questions, Team Members, and Custom Properties. Simultaneously, the customer runs the bulk resume export from GoHire's built-in tool and provides the ZIP or folder of resume files. We provide a structured export checklist so nothing is missed. We also capture screenshots or exports of any pipeline stage configurations that differ from GoHire defaults.
Data ingestion and schema discovery
We ingest the GoHire export into a staging environment and perform a schema discovery pass. This identifies all distinct field names, data types, and values present in the GoHire data, including any custom properties on Jobs and Candidates that vary by customer configuration. We cross-reference the GoHire data against the Recruit CRM import schema to identify gaps, unmapped fields, and any required Recruit CRM custom field pre-creation. The output is a mapping specification reviewed and signed off by the customer before any import work begins.
Recruit CRM schema preparation
We pre-create any missing custom fields in Recruit CRM that are required to receive GoHire data — this includes custom fields for screening question responses, job-board distribution metadata, and any GoHire custom properties that have no direct Recruit CRM equivalent. We configure pipeline stages to match the GoHire naming convention, create any missing User records for the importing team members, and verify that the Candidate and Job object schemas in Recruit CRM can receive the incoming data without type mismatches or required-field violations.
Data normalisation and transformation
We normalise the GoHire data to match Recruit CRM's object schema. This includes splitting full-name fields into first and last name components, standardising date formats, resolving any duplicate candidate records identified during scan, mapping GoHire pipeline stage names to the Recruit CRM pipeline configuration, and transforming screening question response values into the pre-created custom fields. We also attach the exported resume files to the corresponding Candidate records and map application records to their parent Candidate and Job records using identifier lookup during the transformation phase.
Staging import and reconciliation
We run the full migration into Recruit CRM in staging mode, importing Jobs first (as the parent records for Applications), then Candidates with resume attachments, then Applications with Candidate and Job lookups resolved, then pipeline stage history, interview events, and team member records. We generate a row-count reconciliation report comparing source record counts against destination record counts for each object. We also perform a spot-check of 20-30 randomly selected records to verify field-level accuracy. Any mapping corrections are made and re-imported before production migration begins.
Production cutover and migration handoff
We schedule a cutover window aligned with the customer's hiring calendar. During cutover, we freeze new GoHire writes (or capture a final delta export if any records were added during migration), run the final production import, and re-attach any remaining delta records. We deliver a written inventory of GoHire workflows, automated candidate communications, text recruiting bots, and careers page configuration that require manual rebuild in Recruit CRM. We do not rebuild these as part of the migration scope. A five-business-day hypercare window is available to resolve any post-import reconciliation issues raised by the customer's team.
