Overview
Moving from Jarvi to Crelate is a migration between two ATS-plus-CRM platforms built on different architectural assumptions. Jarvi is AI-native from the ground up, consolidating sourcing, multichannel outreach, and candidate management with built-in AI that requires no additional subscription. Crelate is built around structured, compliance-driven workflows with AI features added in 2025, prioritizing configurability and stability over native automation depth. We resolve the unpaginated profiles endpoint by streaming and chunking large candidate pools during extraction, flag candidates whose LinkedIn data is stale due to Jarvi's scheduled sync cadence, and map Jarvi's custom fields to Crelate's Core Record custom field schema before any data moves. Workflows, outreach sequences, and AI-generated content summaries do not migrate as code; we deliver a written inventory of Jarvi automations for the customer's admin to rebuild in Crelate.
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 Jarvi object lands in Crelate, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.
Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.
Jarvi
Candidate
Crelate
Person (Candidate)
1:1Jarvi Candidates map directly to Crelate's Person record with candidate type. Standard fields (name, email, phone, status, current stage) migrate cleanly. We resolve the unpaginated profiles endpoint by streaming the full candidate response in chunks on our end, preventing timeout during extraction for large candidate pools. Jarvi AI-generated candidate summaries land as custom text fields on the Crelate Person record; we flag any orphaned AI data if the destination custom field schema is incomplete.
Jarvi
Contact
Crelate
Person (Contact type)
1:1Jarvi CRM-layer Contacts (client and prospect records) map to Crelate Person with contact type designation. Contact records include company association, lifecycle stage, and multichannel communication history. We map the Jarvi contact_company_id to the Crelate Company lookup by matching company name or domain during the transform phase.
Jarvi
Job
Crelate
Job Order or Placement
1:manyJarvi Jobs represent both job requisitions and active placements depending on how the agency uses the object. During scoping we determine whether each Jarvi Job is a mandate (Job Order in Crelate) or a filled placement (Placement in Crelate). The split is resolved based on job status, associated candidate submissions, and the agency's stated workflow. Each Job preserves its linked pipeline stages and associated candidate associations.
Jarvi
Pipeline Stage
Crelate
Workflow or Stage
lossyJarvi allows custom pipeline stage definitions per job or per CRM deal. Stage names, ordering, and win/loss states vary by organization. We extract the stage schema alongside each record, map the stage names to Crelate Workflow stage values, and configure the Crelate Workflow pipeline before candidate and job data loads. Stage probabilities migrate where present.
Jarvi
Activity (emails, calls, meetings, tasks)
Crelate
Activity / History
1:1All Jarvi outreach actions (emails, LinkedIn messages, calls, meetings) stored as Activity records linked to a Contact or Candidate migrate to Crelate Activity records. We preserve the full activity timeline including timestamps, channel attribution, and message content. Thread structure from Jarvi's unified conversation view maps to Crelate's Activity feed; multi-channel attribution (LinkedIn, WhatsApp, Telegram) is stored as custom fields on the Activity record in Crelate if no native multi-channel thread model exists.
Jarvi
Company
Crelate
Company
1:1Jarvi Company records (firmographic data, industry, size, revenue tier) map to Crelate Company. Multi-contact and multi-job associations transfer as Crelate Relationship records or linked Person records. We use company name as the dedupe key during import to prevent duplication where a Company record already exists in Crelate.
Jarvi
Custom Field (Candidates and Contacts)
Crelate
Custom Field (Core Records)
lossyJarvi exposes a UUID-based Custom Fields API for Candidates and Contacts supporting text, number, date, and dropdown types. We retrieve the custom field schema before migration and map values to Crelate Core Record custom fields created via Settings. Crelate's Logical Name (API field name) is assigned during schema creation; the display name maps from Jarvi's field label. Dropdown values migrate as Crelate picklist options with exact value matching.
Jarvi
Attachment (resume, cover letter, documents)
Crelate
Attachment / Document
1:1Jarvi resumes, cover letters, and uploaded documents attach to Candidate profiles. The platform stores file metadata and a reference URL. We export attachments alongside candidate records and upload them to Crelate's document management area, attaching each file to the corresponding Person record. File hosting parity is not guaranteed; the customer should verify attachment access post-migration.
Jarvi
Conversation (LinkedIn, email, WhatsApp, Telegram thread)
Crelate
Activity / History
1:1Jarvi threads messages across LinkedIn InMail, email, WhatsApp, Telegram, and standard SMS into a unified conversation view per Contact or Candidate. Crelate does not replicate this unified thread model natively. Individual message events migrate as separate Activity records with channel attribution preserved; we do not reconstruct the conversational thread UI. Channel metadata (LinkedIn vs WhatsApp vs Telegram) is preserved as a custom field on each Activity record.
Jarvi
Owner (User)
Crelate
User
1:1Jarvi Owners map to Crelate Users. We resolve by email match during the transform phase. Any Jarvi Owner without a matching Crelate User is placed in a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision before record import resumes, because OwnerId references are required on most standard object imports.
Jarvi
AI Summary
Crelate
Custom Text Field (Person record)
1:1Jarvi's AI agent generates candidate summaries and evaluations stored as linked data points rather than standalone objects. These export as custom text fields on the candidate record. We migrate them as Crelate custom text fields on the Person record. If the destination Crelate account lacks a corresponding custom field, we flag the orphaned AI data in the migration report and recommend regenerating summaries using Crelate's own AI tools post-migration.
Jarvi
Tag
Crelate
Custom Field (multi-select picklist) or Tag
lossyJarvi tags stored as multi-checkbox properties migrate to Crelate custom fields with multi-select picklist type. The customer chooses during scoping whether tags become custom fields on Person records or are handled via Crelate's tagging mechanism if available. Tag taxonomy is preserved during transform.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discovery and scoping
We audit the source Jarvi account across candidate volume, custom field schemas (UUID-based Custom Fields API), active pipelines and stage definitions, activity history volume, company and contact record counts, and any active workflow or sequence configurations. We pair this with a Crelate target assessment: Business plan ($119/user at 5-seat minimum) covers most migrations; Business Plus or Enterprise is required if the customer needs the full AI Co-Pilot, advanced workflow configuration, or expanded data enrichment. The discovery output is a written migration scope with record counts per object and a custom field mapping sheet.
Schema design and custom field provisioning
We design the destination Crelate schema before any data moves. This includes creating custom fields on Crelate Core Records (Person for both Candidates and Contacts, Company, and Job Order) mapped to the exact UUID-based custom field schema from Jarvi. We match Jarvi field types (text, number, date, dropdown) to Crelate field types, and assign Crelate Logical Names (API field names) to correspond with the Jarvi field IDs. Pipeline stage schemas from Jarvi are mapped to Crelate Workflow configurations. Custom fields are provisioned in Crelate Settings before migration begins.
Unpaginated extraction and chunking
We extract candidate records from Jarvi's unpaginated profiles endpoint by streaming the full response in configurable chunks (typically 500-1,000 records per chunk) to avoid memory and timeout issues on large candidate pools. Activity records are extracted separately with pagination handling, ordered by timestamp to preserve the activity timeline sequence. Company and Contact records are extracted in parallel. Each extraction emits a record count reconciliation report before the transform phase begins.
Transform, deduplication, and Owner reconciliation
We transform records in dependency order: Company records first (for lookup resolution), then Person records (Candidates and Contacts with company associations resolved), then Job Orders and Placements (with pipeline and stage assignments resolved), then Activity history (with parent Person and Company lookups resolved by email and name match). Owner records from Jarvi are matched to Crelate Users by email. Any Jarvi Owner without a matching Crelate User goes to a reconciliation queue for the admin to provision before production migration. Jarvi tags are mapped to Crelate custom multi-select picklist fields. AI summaries from Jarvi are written to the corresponding custom text fields on each Person record.
Test migration and validation
We run a full migration into a Crelate test environment using production-like data volume. The customer's recruitment lead spot-checks 25-50 records per object against the Jarvi source, verifies custom field values transferred correctly, confirms activity timeline accuracy, and validates Job and Placement linkages. We resolve any mapping corrections in this phase. The customer signs off the test migration before production migration is scheduled.
Production migration and cutover
We freeze Jarvi writes during the cutover window, run a delta migration of any records modified during the test-to-production window, then enable Crelate as the system of record. File attachments are uploaded to Crelate and linked to the corresponding Person records. We deliver the workflow and sequence inventory document to the customer's admin team for rebuild in Crelate's workflow builder. We support a 72-hour hypercare window where we resolve any immediate reconciliation issues raised by the team.
