Migrate from Jobsoid to Zoho Recruit

Jobsoid Candidate records map directly to Zoho Recruit Candidate records. We extract all standard fields (name, email, phone, current title, current company, location, source, skill keywords, years of experience) via CSV or Excel export. Jobsoid allows one candidate to be assigned to multiple jobs with a designated primary; we carry all job assignment records and designate the primary in Zoho Recruit's Primary Job Opening field on the Candidate. Candidate Unique ID from Jobsoid is preserved as an external reference field.

Jobsoid's multi-job candidate assignment means one Candidate record may have 2-5 job applications across different openings. Zoho Recruit models this as a Candidate record with a separate Job Application record for each applied job. We split the source candidate export at migration time, generating one Job Application record per job assignment and linking it to both the Candidate and the corresponding Job Opening in Zoho Recruit. The primary job assignment receives the Primary Job Opening flag.

Jobsoid Job records map to Zoho Recruit Job Opening records. We extract job title, job ID, job status (open/closed/draft), location, department, division, function, employment type, and job description. Jobsoid's Jobs API exposes published jobs and details; we map status directly and create Job Opening records before any candidate import so that the Job Application-to-Job Opening lookup is satisfied at load time.

Jobsoid Location lookup records map to Zoho Recruit Location. Jobsoid auto-resolves addresses via Google Maps; we carry over the location name and full address string. Locations are created first during migration so that Job Opening records can reference them via lookup. If a location is only embedded in a Job Opening record without a standalone location lookup, we create the location entry in Zoho Recruit at the time of job import.

Jobsoid Department lookup records map to Zoho Recruit Department. Jobsoid exposes departments at the organization level via its lookup API. We preserve the full department list and reassign affected Job Openings to their corresponding Zoho Recruit department at import time. Department acts as a filter on Job Opening reports in Zoho Recruit.

Jobsoid Division lookup records (top-level organizational units) map to Zoho Recruit Division. We migrate the division hierarchy so that it is available as a filtering and grouping dimension in Zoho Recruit reports and Job Opening listings. If Zoho Recruit does not have a Division module pre-enabled in the customer's account, we recommend enabling it via Zoho Recruit Settings during the destination environment preparation phase.

Jobsoid Function lookup records (e.g., Engineering, Sales, Marketing, Operations) map to Zoho Recruit Function. Functions categorize job types at a coarser level than Department. We preserve the full function list from Jobsoid and link them to the corresponding Job Openings in Zoho Recruit.

Jobsoid Candidate Source values (job board, referral, direct application, career site, etc.) map to Zoho Recruit's Source picklist on the Candidate record. We perform field-to-field mapping and flag any Jobsoid source labels that do not exist as values in the Zoho Recruit Source picklist, recommending additions during the destination environment preparation phase. Unrecognized values are mapped to the closest existing Zoho Recruit value with the original label preserved in a custom notes field.

Jobsoid does not expose activities as an independent API resource. Activity history (interview events, emails, notes) appears in the Activity section of each candidate profile. We extract activity text from candidate profile exports where available, or reconstruct a best-effort timeline from the activity block embedded in CSV/Excel candidate exports. We create Zoho Recruit Notes records for each activity entry, preserving the timestamp, activity type (interview/email/note), and description. If activity data is critical for the customer's reporting, we recommend exporting candidate profiles as PDFs before migration to capture the full activity history visually.

Jobsoid custom candidate fields (e.g., Visa Status, Notice Period, Current Salary, Certification, Preferred Location) map to Zoho Recruit custom fields on the Candidate module. We create matching custom fields in Zoho Recruit during the destination environment preparation phase, using equivalent field types (text, number, date, picklist, checkbox). Field names are mapped one-to-one where names match; renamed or new custom fields in Jobsoid require manual field-to-field decisions during the mapping review phase.

Jobsoid uses fully customizable recruitment pipeline stages that vary per account (e.g., Application Received, Screening, Technical Round, HR Round, Offer, Hired). Zoho Recruit's Candidate Stages are configured at the org level with stage name, sequence order, and probability percentage. We map Jobsoid stages to Zoho Recruit Candidate Stages by sequence, and when the source has more stages than the destination supports, we recommend consolidation during scoping. The stage probability percentages from Jobsoid are carried over to Zoho Recruit stage configuration.

Jobsoid allows resume and file uploads attached to candidate profiles. We extract binary attachments separately from record data during the export phase, storing files in a temporary file server with a manifest linking each file to its source candidate record. After candidate records are loaded into Zoho Recruit, we re-attach the files to the corresponding Candidate record using the Zoho Recruit Attachments API. The file name and original upload date are preserved. PDF resumes are prioritized for attachment relocation over image or document files.

Jobsoid integrates with email and calendar for interview scheduling, and interview records appear as activities on the candidate profile. We extract interview date, time, interview type, interviewer name, and meeting notes from the activity block in candidate exports. These map to Zoho Recruit Interview activity records linked to the Candidate and Job Application. Calendar invites (Google Calendar, Outlook) do not migrate as calendar events in Zoho Recruit; the interview details are preserved as a Zoho Recruit activity record with a notes field indicating the meeting link if present.

Jobsoid Owner records (recruiters and hiring managers assigned to candidates and jobs) map to Zoho Recruit Users. We resolve owners by email address match against the Zoho Recruit user list. Any Jobsoid Owner without a matching Zoho Recruit User goes to a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision before record import resumes. Owner assignment on Candidate records migrates by resolving the Zoho Recruit User ID at load time.
