Overview
Moving from Hireology to Recruit CRM is a migration from a platform built for multi-location operational hiring (retail, automotive, hospitality) to one designed for agency recruitment workflows across 100+ countries. The core migration challenge is rearchitecting Hireology's location-centric Job-Application model around Recruit CRM's Candidate-centric data model, where the same candidate can be associated with multiple Jobs through different application pipelines. We handle that association during the mapping phase, preserve interview scores against the right candidate-record junction, and deliver a written inventory of Hireology workflow templates, SkillSurvey integrations, and ADP Workforce Now data handoffs for your admin to rebuild in Recruit CRM. We do not migrate workflow configurations, custom scorecard templates, job board distribution history, or background check documents as code or files.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.
AI proposes the map; you confirm before any record moves.
Parent–child, lookups, and ownership stay linked.
Calls, emails, meetings — with original timestamps.
Documents, uploads, and inline notes move with the record.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Hireology 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.
Hireology
Job
Recruit CRM & ATS
Job
1:1Hireology Jobs (representing open positions at a specific location) map to Recruit CRM Job records. The Hireology job title, description, department, and location data transfer directly. The location reference from Hireology is preserved as a text field or mapped to a Recruit CRM office/location lookup if the destination has location records pre-created. Active and paused job statuses map to Recruit CRM's job_active flag. Closed or archived jobs migrate with status indicators for historical record completeness.
Hireology
Candidate
Recruit CRM & ATS
Candidate
1:1Hireology Candidates (applicant profiles potentially tied to multiple Jobs across locations) map to Recruit CRM Candidate records. Core profile fields (name, email, phone, resume, work history) migrate directly. Note that Hireology does not expose a unified candidate deduplication key via its public API, so we use email address as the primary dedupe anchor and flag any duplicate candidates for customer review before insert.
Hireology
Application
Recruit CRM & ATS
Candidate Job Association
1:1Hireology Applications link a Candidate to a specific Job at a specific location. In Recruit CRM, this junction is represented as a Candidate record associated with a Job via the internal application pipeline. We create the association by first inserting the Candidate, then inserting the Job association record that ties the candidate to the destination job with the appropriate status and application date from Hireology.
Hireology
Interview Score
Recruit CRM & ATS
Interview Scorecard
lossyHireology interview scorecards are sub-objects on the Application with per-question ratings and free-text reviewer comments. Recruit CRM supports a uniform scorecard schema. We map the reviewer name, overall rating, and per-question scores to Recruit CRM's scorecard fields. If Hireology rubrics vary by location or job type (which they frequently do), we normalize to the most complete rubric during migration and document any fields that cannot be mapped to Recruit CRM's uniform schema as part of the reconciliation report.
Hireology
Background Check Result
Recruit CRM & ATS
Custom Field or Integration Reference
1:1Hireology stores SkillSurvey reference check results as structured metadata (check type, pass/fail, date) linked to the Candidate or Application. The actual PDF report is not downloadable via Hireology's API. We migrate the structured result fields to custom fields on the Candidate record (check_type__c, check_result__c, check_date__c). Candidates who have completed background checks may need to re-initiate screening in Recruit CRM if the destination uses a different screening vendor. We flag this in the handoff documentation.
Hireology
Location
Recruit CRM & ATS
Office or Location Record
1:1Hireology Locations represent individual franchise, retail, or branch sites with their own hiring managers and configurations. We map location records and reassociate them with the corresponding Job records in Recruit CRM. If the destination Recruit CRM account has office records pre-created by the customer, we match by location name and update the Job's location reference. Multi-location role hierarchies in Hireology are documented separately for admin rebuild since Recruit CRM's team and permission model differs.
Hireology
Custom Field (Jobs, Candidates, Applications)
Recruit CRM & ATS
Custom Field
lossyHireology allows custom fields on Jobs, Candidates, and Applications, but the public API does not expose a custom field registry enumerating all fields and their object associations. We discover the full custom field landscape during the discovery phase by sampling records across Jobs, Candidates, and Applications and comparing payloads against the standard schema. Each discovered custom field is then pre-created in Recruit CRM with the matching field type before migration begins. Fields that exist only on sampled records and cannot be verified against a schema definition are flagged in the reconciliation report.
Hireology
User and Hiring Manager
Recruit CRM & ATS
User
1:1Hireology Users (admins, hiring managers, recruiters with role-based permissions) map to Recruit CRM User records. We match by email address. Any Hireology user without a matching Recruit CRM account goes to a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision before record import resumes, since OwnerId references on Candidate and Job records are required in Recruit CRM.
Hireology
Workflow Template
Recruit CRM & ATS
None
1:1Hireology workflow templates defining stage sequences, automated actions, and approval gates are stored in the configuration layer and are not accessible via the public API. These do not migrate. We deliver a written inventory of every active Hireology workflow with its trigger, stage sequence, conditions, and automated actions, with a recommendation for how to rebuild each in Recruit CRM's Workflow Automation builder. The customer's admin handles the rebuild as a post-migration task.
Hireology
Job Board Distribution History
Recruit CRM & ATS
None
1:1Job board posting records and distribution history (which boards received the posting, when it was distributed) are not exported via Hireology's API. We migrate the job content itself but not the distribution history. Recruit CRM's job posting and VONQ/Indeed integrations serve as the replacement for job distribution, and the customer's admin configures these 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.
Hireology gotchas
Custom field schema is not discoverable via API
Interview scorecard rubrics vary by location and job type
Background check documents cannot be transferred
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 source audit
We audit the Hireology account across Jobs, Candidates, Applications, Locations, Interview Scorecards, Background Check records, and Custom Fields. We run a targeted record scan comparing sampled payloads against the standard Hireology schema to surface any undocumented custom fields before mapping begins. We also extract a list of active workflow templates, SkillSurvey reference check configurations, and ADP Workforce Now handoff settings for documentation purposes. The discovery output is a written scope and a mapping specification covering every object, field, and association.
Recruit CRM schema provisioning and field pre-creation
We create all necessary Recruit CRM custom fields, office/location records, and job pipelines before any data import. This includes creating the Hireology-discovered custom fields on the appropriate objects (Candidate, Job, Application), setting field types to match Hireology's original data, and pre-creating location records mapped from Hireology Locations. Recruit CRM's associated_fields API endpoint handles candidate-job custom fields; we map field IDs during provisioning so that the import script references the correct field identifiers.
Sandbox migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into a Recruit CRM sandbox or staging environment using production-like data volume. The customer reconciles record counts (Candidates in, Jobs in, Applications in, Interview Scores in), spot-checks 25-50 random records against the Hireology source, and signs off the schema and mapping before production migration begins. Any custom field gaps discovered during sandbox run are resolved here, not in production.
Owner and user reconciliation
We extract every distinct Hireology user referenced on Candidate, Job, and Application records and match by email against the Recruit CRM destination User table. Any Hireology user without a matching Recruit CRM account is placed in a reconciliation queue. The customer's Recruit CRM admin provisions missing users before record import resumes, since OwnerId references are required on Candidate and Job records in Recruit CRM.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: Users (manually provisioned and validated), Office/Location records, Jobs (with location association resolved), Candidates (with core profile fields), Application associations (linking Candidates to Jobs with status and application date), Interview Scores (with rubric normalization applied), and Background Check metadata (as custom fields on Candidate). Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins.
Cutover, validation, and workflow inventory handoff
We freeze Hireology writes 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 the Workflow Template and SkillSurvey/ADP inventory document to the customer's admin team with rebuild recommendations for Recruit CRM's Workflow Automation builder. We support a one-week hypercare window where we resolve any reconciliation issues. We do not rebuild Hireology workflow configurations as Recruit CRM workflows inside the migration scope; that is a separate engagement.
