Overview

What this migration involves

Moving from hireEZ to Recruit CRM is primarily a candidate-database migration constrained by hireEZ's lack of a public API. Export options are limited to project-level CSV downloads from the UI or Enterprise Auto Sync to a connected ATS. If the customer runs a connected ATS (Greenhouse, Lever, Bullhorn), we pull candidate records through that system. Otherwise we sequence project-level CSV exports, deduplicate on email for records synced bidirectionally, and validate contact data against standard deliverability patterns before loading into Recruit CRM. We preserve talent pool membership as Recruit CRM Lists, map hireEZ project stages to Recruit CRM pipeline stages, and migrate engagement history (email opens, clicks, InMail views, scheduling events) as candidate activities. Outreach sequences, campaign step logic, and EZ Agent task assignments do not export because they are tied to hireEZ's internal automation infrastructure; we document the sequence inventory for the customer's team to rebuild in Recruit CRM. Pricing on the destination is substantially lower ($95-259 per user per month on transparent published tiers) compared to hireEZ's $169-240 per seat on annual-only contracts with reported renewal increases of 50% or more.

hireEZ

What's pushing teams away

  • Per-seat pricing at $169-240 monthly scales poorly for large recruiting teams, and multiple sources report price increases of 50% or more upon renewal, making the platform unaffordable at scale.
  • Contact data accuracy degrades significantly — users report 30% email bounce rates and 70-80% contact accuracy, forcing teams to purchase additional verification tools before campaigns can launch.
  • Hidden implementation and onboarding fees ranging from thousands to five figures for enterprise deployments, plus annual-only contract terms with no month-to-month flexibility.
  • Campaign management UI feels clunky and data degrades over time without active cleanup, creating friction for fast-moving agency recruiters managing multiple active requisitions.
  • Custom field and integration flexibility is limited compared to newer platforms, pushing teams with complex workflows or non-standard ATS stacks to seek alternatives.

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 hireEZ objects map to Recruit CRM & ATS

Each row shows how a hireEZ 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.

hireEZ

Candidate

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Candidate

1:1
Fully supported

hireEZ candidate profiles (contact details, work history, skills, education, and enrichment data) map directly to Recruit CRM candidate records. We use candidate email as the canonical dedupe key. We validate email addresses against standard deliverability patterns before import: addresses failing format checks (missing @, invalid domain, no MX record) are flagged in a pre-import reconciliation report for customer review before candidate records are committed to Recruit CRM. Credit-based enrichment flags (stale data from records last enriched mid-billing-cycle) are preserved in a custom field for the customer's review.

hireEZ

Project (Job Requisition)

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Job

1:1
Fully supported

hireEZ Projects store requisition metadata including job title, department, location, salary range, priority, and pipeline stage assignments. We map these directly to Recruit CRM Job records. Project-to-candidate associations are preserved as candidate-job assignments in Recruit CRM's pipeline view, maintaining the hiring context that candidates were sourced under.

hireEZ

Job Requisition

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Job

1:1
Fully supported

Job Requisition records from hireEZ map to Recruit CRM Jobs with the same metadata (title, department, location, salary range, priority). We map hireEZ stage assignments to Recruit CRM pipeline stages, which are configurable per job. The customer configures pipeline stages in Recruit CRM during setup; we document the source stage assignments for stage mapping.

hireEZ

Talent Pool

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

List

1:many
Fully supported

hireEZ talent pools are named collections of candidates grouped by skill, role, or talent community. We export pool membership as candidate-to-pool relationships and map these to Recruit CRM Lists. A candidate can belong to multiple Recruit CRM Lists, matching the many-to-many relationship in hireEZ. Pool names and candidate membership counts are preserved in List descriptions for reference.

hireEZ

Automated Campaign (email, SMS, InMail)

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Candidate Communication Log

1:1
Fully supported

hireEZ Automated Campaigns store outreach sequences across email, SMS, and LinkedIn InMail. We migrate campaign membership (which candidates were added to which campaigns) and candidate engagement history (opens, clicks, replies, InMail views, scheduling events) as candidate activities in Recruit CRM. Campaign step logic, sequence step definitions, step timing, and outreach cadence states do not export because they are tied to hireEZ's internal messaging infrastructure. We deliver a written campaign inventory with each sequence's steps, timing, and recommended Recruit CRM automation rebuild approach.

hireEZ

Candidate Activity (email opens, clicks, replies, InMail views)

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Candidate Activity Log

1:1
Fully supported

Activity logs from hireEZ capture email opens, clicks, replies, InMail views, and scheduling events tied to candidates and projects. We preserve the full activity timeline per candidate in Recruit CRM's activity log with original timestamps. Timestamp formats may vary by ATS integration source; we normalize to ISO 8601 before import.

hireEZ

Interview Event

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Interview / Calendar Event

1:1
Fully supported

Interview scheduling events and calendar sync records from hireEZ are preserved as interview entries linked to the corresponding candidate and job in Recruit CRM. Scheduling metadata (interviewer, date, time, meeting link or location) migrates directly. Note: a Reddit thread for Recruit CRM users identifies that deleted meetings do not sync back to Google Calendar, a platform-level limitation we document for the customer's awareness but do not resolve in migration scope.

hireEZ

Custom Candidate Property

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Custom Candidate Field

1:1
Fully supported

Custom fields on hireEZ candidate profiles vary by customer configuration. We discover all custom properties during scoping, map them to equivalent Recruit CRM custom fields (Text, Number, Date, Dropdown, or Multi-select based on data type), and flag any properties with no matching target field in Recruit CRM for customer resolution before migration.

hireEZ

ATS Integration / Auto Sync record

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Candidate (deduplicated)

1:1
Fully supported

Enterprise customers using hireEZ Auto Sync with a connected ATS (Greenhouse, Lever, Bullhorn, iCIMS, Workday) may have candidate records created or updated through bidirectional sync. These records may have conflicting IDs or duplicate email addresses across hireEZ and the ATS. We deduplicate on candidate email, resolve the most recent update timestamp as authoritative, and flag records with ambiguous merge candidates for customer review before import.

hireEZ

Analytics and Reports (native dashboards)

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Reporting Data (source records)

lossy
Fully supported

hireEZ native analytics dashboards and reports do not export in transferable format. We migrate the underlying funnel data (source, stage, hire dates, pipeline timestamps) as candidate and job record fields, enabling Recruit CRM's native reporting to reconstruct the funnel. Dashboard-level visualizations must be rebuilt by the customer's team in Recruit CRM's reporting module.

Pair-specific challenges

  • No hireEZ API means export depends on connected ATS or UI CSV downloads

    hireEZ does not publish API documentation for programmatic data extraction. Export options are limited to project-level CSV downloads from the UI or Enterprise Auto Sync to a connected ATS. For migrations without a connected ATS, we must sequence manual or semi-automated CSV exports per project, which limits parallelism and extends the timeline proportionally to candidate record volume. We scope the export method during discovery and advise customers to initiate CSV export preparation early in the project timeline.

  • Contact data accuracy degrades and triggers bounce risk on import

    Multiple independent reviews report hireEZ email accuracy at 70-80% with approximately 30% bounce rates on outbound campaigns. Candidates enriched through hireEZ's credit-based system may have stale or unverifiable contact data. Importing high-bounce email addresses into Recruit CRM risks triggering deliverability problems on campaign re-launch. We validate email addresses against deliverability patterns before import and flag high-risk records in a pre-import reconciliation report for the customer's review.

  • Bidirectional ATS sync creates duplicate records on migration exit

    Enterprise Auto Sync keeps candidate records synchronized between hireEZ and the customer's ATS in real time. When exporting from hireEZ or through the connected ATS, records created or updated via sync may have conflicting IDs or duplicate email addresses across both systems. We deduplicate on candidate email, select the most recent update timestamp as authoritative, and flag ambiguous merge candidates for customer review before records are committed to Recruit CRM.

  • Annual-only hireEZ contracts may have renewal exposure mid-migration

    All hireEZ tiers require annual commitments, and reported renewal increases of 50% or more above the original contract value mean customers initiating an exit should confirm their contract end date and avoid triggering early renewal conversations before migration scoping is complete. We confirm contract terms and advise customers to negotiate multi-year pricing or freeze renewals before migration initiation. Migration does not automatically terminate the hireEZ contract; the customer must handle contract cancellation separately.

  • Recruit CRM calendar sync does not propagate deleted meeting deletions

    A Reddit thread from Recruit CRM users identifies that deleted meetings in Recruit CRM do not sync back to Google Calendar. This is a Recruit CRM platform limitation unrelated to the hireEZ migration. We document this for the customer's awareness and recommend a manual review of calendar integrations post-migration to ensure meeting records remain consistent between Recruit CRM and the team's Google Calendar.

Migration approach

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

  1. Discovery and export method confirmation

    We audit the hireEZ environment across all projects, talent pools, candidate record volume, and any connected ATS integration. We confirm whether the customer has a connected ATS (Greenhouse, Lever, Bullhorn, Workday, iCIMS) that we can use for primary extraction, or whether UI-based project CSV export is the only available method. We also identify custom candidate properties, active automated campaigns with sequence step definitions, and the full activity history volume per candidate. The discovery output is a written migration scope document specifying export method, record counts, and dependency order.

  2. Export sequencing and deduplication planning

    If the connected ATS is the extraction source, we pull candidate records through the ATS API using bulk export. If UI-based CSV is required, we sequence project-level exports in parallel batches, collecting each CSV and consolidating into a unified candidate master set. We deduplicate on candidate email, flagging records from bidirectional ATS sync that have conflicting IDs or timestamps. We also run email deliverability validation against format and MX record checks and produce a pre-import reconciliation report for the customer's review of high-risk contact records.

  3. Recruit CRM schema setup and field mapping

    We configure the Recruit CRM destination environment: custom candidate fields (matched to discovered hireEZ custom properties), pipeline stages (mapped from hireEZ project stage assignments), and Lists (created to mirror hireEZ talent pool structure). We document every field mapping in a written field map that the customer's Recruit CRM admin reviews and approves before data load begins. We also confirm the customer's desired Recruit CRM pipeline configuration for each job type migrating from hireEZ.

  4. Staging migration and reconciliation

    We run a full migration into Recruit CRM using a test environment or limited record set (10-20% sample) to validate the field mapping, deduplication results, email validation outcomes, and List membership assignments. The customer's team spot-checks 25-50 randomly selected candidates against the hireEZ source records and signs off the staging results. Any mapping corrections, custom field additions, or deduplication rule adjustments are applied before production migration begins.

  5. Production migration in dependency order

    We run production migration in record-dependency order: Jobs (from hireEZ Projects and Job Requisitions), Candidates (with email dedup applied and contact data validated), Talent Pools (as Recruit CRM Lists with membership), candidate-job assignments, and engagement history (activity timeline with original timestamps preserved). Campaign membership and sequence engagement history are imported as candidate activities. We run each phase with a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins.

  6. Cutover, validation, and campaign inventory handoff

    We freeze writes in hireEZ during the cutover window and run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration period. We then enable Recruit CRM as the system of record and deliver the automated campaign inventory document listing each hireEZ sequence's steps, cadence, and recommended Recruit CRM rebuild approach. We support a one-week hypercare window for reconciliation issues and do not rebuild outreach sequences or hiring workflows as part of the migration scope.

Migrations land between three and five weeks for accounts under 10,000 candidates using ATS-based export (pulling records through a connected ATS as the primary extraction source). Migrations requiring sequenced project-level CSV exports from hireEZ's UI, engagement history across large candidate databases, or complex talent pool remapping extend to ten to fourteen weeks. The primary timeline driver is hireEZ's lack of a public API, which limits export parallelism and requires manual or semi-automated CSV sequencing when no connected ATS is available.
