Overview
Infor HCM and Recruit CRM serve fundamentally different markets, and this migration requires careful scoping before any data moves. Infor HCM stores employee records, organizational hierarchies, compensation histories, and multi-jurisdiction payroll data for internal workforce management. Recruit CRM stores candidate profiles, client contacts, job orders, and placement records for external recruitment operations. The overlap is limited to talent-facing data: candidates who have applied through Infor's Talent Management module can migrate into Recruit CRM, and any job requisition structures in Infor map to Recruit CRM job records. We extract from Infor via IDM tools and file-based CSV exports, clean and deduplicate the candidate pool during transformation, and load into Recruit CRM's candidate, client, and job objects. We do not migrate internal employee records, payroll data, benefits enrollments, or performance review documents because Recruit CRM has no data model for these. We deliver a written inventory of the non-migratable HCM objects so the customer's HR team can evaluate downstream options for that data.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Infor HCM 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.
Infor HCM
Talent Profiles / Skills
Recruit CRM & ATS
Candidate
1:1Infor HCM talent profiles containing skills, certifications, and credential data from the Talent Science module map to Recruit CRM candidate records. Skill taxonomies differ between Infor and Recruit CRM, so we extract skills as tagged attributes and map them to Recruit CRM's skill fields and custom candidate tags. Any Infor competency ratings or proficiency levels migrate as custom fields on the Candidate record. This is the primary overlap object between Infor HCM's talent management module and Recruit CRM's candidate profile.
Infor HCM
Performance Reviews / Goals
Recruit CRM & ATS
Candidate (as placement history notes)
1:1Completed performance review cycles and goal alignments in Infor HCM's Talent Management module do not map directly to any Recruit CRM object. We extract review summaries as dated notes and attach them to the corresponding Candidate record in Recruit CRM as an internal note. Review template structures, competency matrices, and rating scales do not migrate because Recruit CRM has no performance management schema. We flag this as a data-loss boundary during scoping.
Infor HCM
Job Requisition / Position (external-facing)
Recruit CRM & ATS
Job
1:1Infor HCM positions with external-facing job requisition data map to Recruit CRM job records. Position title, department, location, employment type, and job description fields extract from Infor and load into Recruit CRM's Job object. Headcount slots and internal position hierarchies (headcount budgeting, approval workflows) do not migrate because Recruit CRM manages placement volume through job order records, not position budgets.
Infor HCM
Organizations / Departments
Recruit CRM & ATS
Client (organization mapping)
lossyInfor HCM organizational hierarchies map partially to Recruit CRM's client structure. Cost center information from Infor maps to Recruit CRM Company/Client records. The hierarchical parent-child tree is preserved as a flat client account structure in Recruit CRM; multi-level org chart traversal is not applicable in Recruit CRM's agency-focused data model. We recommend the customer's admin review the client mapping during sandbox validation.
Infor HCM
Employees
Recruit CRM & ATS
Candidate (limited)
1:1Infor HCM employee records do not map to Recruit CRM candidates in a standard migration. However, if the customer uses Infor HCM's Talent Management module to track internal applicants who have applied for open positions, those applicant records can migrate as Candidate records in Recruit CRM. Standard employee biographical data (biography, emergency contacts, bank details, employment contracts) does not migrate because Recruit CRM stores candidate profiles, not employee records. We explicitly scope out all employee personal data during discovery.
Infor HCM
Custom Fields / User-Defined Fields
Recruit CRM & ATS
Custom Fields
lossyInfor M3 and HCM user-defined fields (defined in CMS470 sessions) attached to talent, position, and organizational records map to Recruit CRM custom fields on Candidate, Job, and Company objects. We extract all UDF definitions during discovery, map each to the equivalent Recruit CRM field type (text, numeric, date, picklist), and pre-create the schema before data import. Any Infor UDFs with no Recruit CRM equivalent are flagged for the customer's admin to evaluate for mapping or omission.
Infor HCM
Compensation History
Recruit CRM & ATS
Not applicable
1:1Infor HCM pay history records (salary, bonus, equity entries with effective dates) have no equivalent in Recruit CRM's candidate data model. We do not migrate compensation history to Recruit CRM. If the customer needs this data retained, we can export it as a dated CSV table and store it as an archive file outside the Recruit CRM migration scope. This is a hard data-loss boundary that we document explicitly during discovery.
Infor HCM
Benefits Enrollments
Recruit CRM & ATS
Not applicable
1:1Benefit plans, enrollment elections, and coverage tiers in Infor HCM have no Recruit CRM equivalent. Recruit CRM does not store benefits data. We do not migrate benefit enrollments. The customer's HR team should retain this data in Infor HCM or a downstream HRMS if statutory retention requirements apply.
Infor HCM
Time and Attendance
Recruit CRM & ATS
Not applicable
1:1Time entries, absence balances, and accrual calculations from Infor Workforce Management do not migrate to Recruit CRM. Recruit CRM has no schema for time tracking or absence management. We exclude these records from migration scope and recommend the customer's HR team evaluate Workday, BambooHR, or a payroll platform for ongoing absence and accrual management post-migration.
Infor HCM
Documents
Recruit CRM & ATS
Candidate attachments
1:1Infor Document Management (IDM) files attached to talent profiles and employee records migrate as attachments on the corresponding Recruit CRM Candidate record. We note that IDM export only retrieves the current document version, not version history. Candidate resumes extracted from Infor HCM talent profiles migrate as Resume attachments in Recruit CRM. SharePoint-integrated document exports are limited to 5,000 documents per export run.

Infor HCM gotchas
IDM document export excludes version history
Non-public API requires file-based extraction
Hidden implementation and consulting costs inflate the real TCO
Effective-dated history requires sequenced loading
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 migratable data inventory
We audit the Infor HCM instance to identify which modules are in use: Talent Management (candidates, skills, reviews), Position Management, Organizational Hierarchy, Payroll, Benefits, and Workforce Management. We document the record counts for each module and identify which data objects have a Recruit CRM equivalent. The discovery output is a written migration scope that explicitly lists migratable objects (candidates, skills, job requisitions, documents) and non-migratable objects (employees, payroll, benefits, time entries) with a retention recommendation for each non-migratable object.
File-based extraction planning
Because Infor HCM lacks a public API, we work with the customer's IT team to schedule file exports from Infor's IDM tools, application UI (CSV/Excel), or on-premise database. We chunk large candidate populations (over 5,000 records) into separate export runs to avoid timeouts. We extract the full effective-dated history for talent profiles as a separate dated table even though Recruit CRM will only store current values. If SharePoint integration is in use for document storage, we coordinate the SharePoint export within the 5,000-document limit per run.
Sandbox deduplication and schema configuration
We stage the extracted data in a working environment and run deduplication against the candidate pool using email, name, and phone as match keys. We produce a deduplication report for the customer's review and apply manual review for records flagged as potential duplicates with conflicting data. In parallel, we configure Recruit CRM's custom fields to receive the mapped Infor UDFs, set up job record types for requisition mapping, and configure client account structures for any organizational hierarchy mapping.
Sandbox migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into Recruit CRM's sandbox environment using production-like data volume. The customer's talent acquisition lead reconciles record counts, spot-checks candidate profiles against the Infor source, validates skill and certification mapping, and confirms that job requisitions have been created correctly. We resolve any field mapping corrections before production migration. Sandbox validation typically runs for one week.
Production migration and cutover
We run production migration in dependency order: custom fields and picklist values first, then job records (for job requirement association), then candidate records with skill tags and document attachments. We freeze Infor HCM write access during the cutover window and run a final delta migration of any new records created since the extraction date. Recruit CRM becomes the system of record for candidate and requisition data upon go-live.
Non-migratable data handoff
We deliver a written inventory of every non-migratable Infor HCM object (employees, payroll, benefits, time entries, performance reviews, effective-dated history) with record counts, field lists, and recommendations for downstream retention or alternative migration targets. We do not migrate these objects to Recruit CRM. The customer's HR and IT teams use this inventory to plan data retention, statutory compliance archiving, and any subsequent migration to a platform with a full HRMS data model.
