Overview

What this migration involves

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.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

Harri

What's pushing teams away

  • Pricing scales at enterprise tiers with custom quotes, making it difficult for small and mid-sized operators to justify cost versus simpler standalone scheduling or ATS tools.
  • Payroll is integration-led in the U.S. rather than native, requiring operators to maintain a separate payroll provider and sync configuration—adding complexity some teams want to eliminate.
  • Gated API documentation and member-only developer portal make it difficult for technical teams to self-assess data portability before committing to the platform.
  • Onboarding and implementation timelines for the full HCM suite can stretch longer than expected, especially for multi-location deployments with custom configurations.

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 Harri objects map to Recruit CRM & ATS

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)

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Contact

1:1
Fully supported

Harri 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

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Organization

many:1
Fully supported

Harri 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

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Job

1:1
Fully supported

Harri 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

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Candidate

1:1
Fully supported

Harri 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)

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Candidate

1:1
Fully supported

Harri 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

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Custom Fields (Contact or Job)

lossy
Fully supported

Harri 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

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Custom Fields (Contact)

lossy
Fully supported

Harri 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

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Custom Fields (Contact)

lossy
Fully supported

Harri 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

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Attachment (ContentDocument)

1:1
Fully supported

Harri 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)

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Job Custom Fields

lossy
Fully supported

Harri 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.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Harri export access requires direct engagement with Harri data team

    Harri's developer portal and export template documentation are gated to active members, and no public REST API is documented. Before migration scoping, we engage Harri's customer data team to request a full data export in CSV or structured backup format. If the customer is mid-termination with Harri, access may be revoked before we retrieve complete records. We flag this as a timeline risk at project kickoff and recommend initiating the data export request immediately upon signing the migration contract. Multi-location exports with thousands of Workers and nested Positions require chunked retrieval by Location; we validate data completeness per site before loading into Recruit CRM.

  • Harri's scheduling and compliance data has no native home in Recruit CRM

    Harri's core value lies in its scheduling engine (Shifts, recurring patterns, coverage requirements) and hospitality-specific compliance tracking (certification expiry, tip-credit regulations, mandatory training). Recruit CRM is a recruitment ATS + CRM with no scheduling, workforce management, or compliance module. We migrate the most recent shift assignment and compliance fields as custom Contact or Job fields, but full shift histories, recurring schedules, and jurisdiction-specific compliance records cannot be modeled in Recruit CRM's standard schema. We deliver a written inventory of these objects with a recommendation for a standalone scheduling or compliance tool if the customer's team needs this data post-migration.

  • Multi-location restructure requires flattening Harri's property hierarchy

    Enterprise Harri customers run operations across dozens or hundreds of Locations (individual restaurant or hotel properties), each with its own manager, position catalog, shift rules, and compliance settings. Recruit CRM has no multi-property hierarchy—Organizations are flat. We consolidate Harri Locations into a smaller set of Recruit CRM Organizations, preserving the property address and manager as custom fields, but the one-to-many Location hierarchy does not map cleanly. Multi-location operators should plan for a custom Organization naming convention and expect the Location count to differ between source and destination.

  • Harri engagement survey data is not independently portable

    Harri's employee engagement and pulse survey module stores response data tied to its internal engagement engine. There is no documented export mechanism for engagement survey responses. We exclude engagement survey data from migration scope and flag it upfront. Customers who need historical engagement data should export it manually from Harri's UI before termination, as it will not be included in the standard data export and Recruit CRM has no engagement module to receive it.

Migration approach

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

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

Most migrations land between three and five weeks for accounts under 3,000 Workers, 500 Positions, and a single-location or simple multi-location structure. Migrations with 50+ Locations, large application histories (10,000+ candidates), complex onboarding task checklists, or extensive document attachment archives move to seven to twelve weeks because of the Location-hierarchy restructure, custom field schema build-out, and multi-batch delta reconciliation. Harri's gated export process can add one to two weeks to discovery if the data export request requires escalation to Harri's customer data team.
