Overview
Moving from Harri to Recruit CRM is a platform category shift from a hospitality HCM suite to an ATS + CRM built for recruitment agencies. Harri covers the full frontline worker lifecycle—recruiting, scheduling, CoreHR, and compliance—across Location hierarchies tied to individual restaurant or hotel properties. Recruit CRM is scoped to the talent acquisition phase: Candidates, Clients, Jobs, and placements with AI-powered parsing and matching. The migration requires a structural reshape: Harri's Location-based worker organization must be flattened into Recruit CRM's Contact and Organization model, and Harri's hospitality scheduling and compliance data must be held as custom fields or excluded entirely because Recruit CRM has no native scheduling or compliance object. Harri's gated developer portal means we engage Harri's customer data team directly for export, and access revocation risk during termination is a timeline factor we flag at scoping. We do not migrate Shifts, Compliance Records, or Engagement Surveys from Harri; we deliver written inventories of these for the customer's admin to handle post-migration.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Harri 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.
Harri
Worker (Employee)
Recruit CRM & ATS
Contact
1:1Harri Workers (active employees) map directly to Recruit CRM Contacts. Standard fields—first name, last name, email, phone, hire date, job title, employment status—map 1:1 to the Contact object. Harri's worker_id becomes a custom field harri_worker_id__c on Contact for audit and reconciliation. Harri Location assignment migrates as a custom lookup field or Organization association depending on how the customer configures their Recruit CRM organization hierarchy.
Harri
Location
Recruit CRM & ATS
Organization
many:1Harri Locations (individual restaurant or hotel properties) represent the top of Harri's hierarchy: each Location has a manager, address, position catalog, and assigned Workers. Recruit CRM has no native multi-property hierarchy; Locations must be merged into Recruit CRM Organizations, with the property address and manager stored as custom fields on the Organization record. Multi-location operators with 20+ Locations will have multiple Location records resolving to a smaller number of Organization records in Recruit CRM.
Harri
Position
Recruit CRM & ATS
Job
1:1Harri Positions (job listings within a Location) map to Recruit CRM Jobs. Harri position title, FT/PT/seasonal classification, pay rate, and department migrate to the corresponding Recruit CRM Job fields. Job status (active/paused/closed) maps from Harri position status. Positions without an active application pipeline still migrate as historical job records if the customer requests placement history preserved.
Harri
Application
Recruit CRM & ATS
Candidate
1:1Harri Applications track candidate submissions for Positions: application date, source, pipeline stage, and interview scores. These map to Recruit CRM Candidates with the job association resolved at migration time. Pipeline stage names are Harri-customer-specific; we preserve the original stage label as a custom field candidate_stage__c rather than forcing it into Recruit CRM's default pipeline stages, which the customer's admin configures post-migration.
Harri
Worker (Applicant)
Recruit CRM & ATS
Candidate
1:1Harri stores applicants as Workers with an applicant-specific status. Unhired applicants (pipeline candidates not yet converted to employees) migrate as Recruit CRM Candidates with a custom field harri_applicant_status__c preserving the original Harri applicant stage. We deduplicate on email address during import to avoid creating duplicate Candidate records where a candidate applied multiple times.
Harri
Shift
Recruit CRM & ATS
Custom Fields (Contact or Job)
lossyHarri Shifts are time-block records assigned to Workers at a Location with start/end times, shift type, and coverage requirements. Recruit CRM has no native scheduling object. We migrate the most recent shift assignment as custom fields on the Contact record (most_recent_shift_date__c, shift_type__c) rather than a full shift history, because Recruit CRM's data model does not support recurring shift records. Customers needing full shift history retain it in a reporting export from Harri.
Harri
Onboarding Task
Recruit CRM & ATS
Custom Fields (Contact)
lossyHarri stores structured onboarding task checklists tied to new-hire Workers: task name, completion status, due date, and custom fields. Recruit CRM has no native onboarding task object. We migrate onboarding task data as a serialized JSON custom field onboarding_tasks__c on the Contact record, or as a multi-select picklist of completed task names if the checklist is short (under 20 tasks). Complex onboarding flows require manual rebuild in Recruit CRM.
Harri
Compliance Record
Recruit CRM & ATS
Custom Fields (Contact)
lossyHarri tracks compliance data specific to hospitality regulations: certification expiry dates, mandatory training completion, tip-credit acknowledgements, and regulatory acknowledgements. Recruit CRM has no native compliance object. We migrate the most recent compliance record fields (certification_type__c, certification_expiry__c, training_complete__c) as custom fields on the Contact record. Historical compliance events migrate as a separate compliance export file the customer's admin ingests manually, because Recruit CRM cannot model the jurisdiction-specific regulatory fields that Harri handles natively.
Harri
Document
Recruit CRM & ATS
Attachment (ContentDocument)
1:1Harri stores employee documents: contracts, ID scans, policy acknowledgements. Document exports from Harri are file-based. We migrate documents as attachments to the corresponding Contact record in Recruit CRM, preserving the original filename, upload timestamp, and file type. PDF and image formats migrate without transformation; documents over 25 MB are flagged for the customer admin to handle manually due to Recruit CRM attachment size limits.
Harri
Position (Pay Rate)
Recruit CRM & ATS
Job Custom Fields
lossyHarri stores pay rate on the Position record (hourly rate, salary, FT/PT classification). Recruit CRM Jobs have no native pay-rate field. We migrate pay rate as a custom field pay_rate__c on the Job record, preserving the currency and rate type. The customer's admin maps this field into any Recruit CRM reporting or client-facing job order as needed post-migration.

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.
Harri gotchas
Gated API and export templates require direct engagement with Harri
Payroll data lives in integrated third-party providers
Engagement survey data is not independently portable
Multi-location configurations create export complexity
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 Harri export coordination
We audit the source Harri instance across Locations, Workers (employees and applicants), Positions, Applications, Documents, onboarding task checklists, and compliance fields. We assess the export complexity per Location and coordinate directly with Harri's customer data team to request a full data export. If the customer is mid-termination, we flag access revocation risk immediately and recommend prioritizing the export request. We produce a written migration scope document listing every object, its estimated row count, and its destination in Recruit CRM before any data moves.
Recruit CRM schema design and custom field build
We design the destination Recruit CRM schema before any data loads. This includes creating all custom fields needed to receive Harri data: harri_worker_id__c on Contact, Location manager and address fields on Organization, pay_rate__c and shift_type__c on Job, candidate_stage__c and onboarding_tasks__c on Candidate, and certification fields on Contact. We configure these in Recruit CRM's custom field builder and validate that field types (date, currency, picklist, text) match Harri's source data types. Schema changes happen in Recruit CRM's sandbox equivalent before production configuration.
Location-to-Organization restructure
We run the Location-hierarchy restructure as a separate transform phase before record import. Each Harri Location maps to a Recruit CRM Organization, with the property address, manager name, and original Harri Location ID preserved as custom fields. Workers and Positions are held in staging until their parent Organization record is created, ensuring referential integrity. For multi-location operators (50+ Locations), we batch the Organization import and validate address uniqueness before proceeding to the Worker import.
Worker and Position import in dependency order
We import Workers (active employees and applicants) after Organization creation, resolving each Worker's Location to the corresponding Recruit CRM Organization by Location ID lookup. Positions (Job listings) import next with pay rate and FT/PT classification mapped to custom Job fields. Applications import as Candidates with the job association resolved to the corresponding Job record by Position title and Location match. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins.
Document and custom field migration
We migrate employee documents (contracts, ID scans, policy files) as attachments to the corresponding Contact record, preserving filename and upload timestamp. Onboarding task checklists and compliance fields migrate as custom fields on Contact or Job. We run a spot-check validation on 25-50 records per batch to confirm that custom field values match the Harri source before closing the migration phase.
Cutover, validation, and scheduling/compliance inventory handoff
We freeze Harri access during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then enable Recruit CRM as the system of record. We deliver a written inventory of Shifts, Compliance Records, and Engagement Survey data that were excluded from migration scope, with specific export instructions from Harri's UI and recommendations for standalone scheduling or compliance tools if needed. We support a one-week hypercare window for reconciliation issues. We do not rebuild Harri shift workflows or compliance rules in Recruit CRM as those objects do not exist in Recruit CRM's schema.
