Overview
Moving from Journeyfront to Recruit CRM is a platform consolidation for teams that have outgrown Journeyfront's assessment-driven hiring model or need stronger agency-focused CRM capabilities. Journeyfront uses a job-and-candidate data model centered on company-specific assessment calibration that predicts candidate retention; Recruit CRM uses a candidate-and-client model with job orders, placements, and pipeline tracking designed for recruitment agencies. We migrate the full candidate record including assessment scores as structured fields, but we flag upfront that Journeyfront's predictive algorithm is proprietary and does not transfer—re-establishing baseline scoring in Recruit CRM requires manual work post-migration. Pipeline stages, screening questions, and interview scorecards migrate as data fields with remapping to Recruit CRM stage conventions. Workflow automation rules, analytics dashboards, and integration credentials do not migrate; we deliver written inventories for your admin to rebuild and reconfigure. The Recruit CRM API supports custom fields, enabling Journeyfront custom properties to land as typed Recruit CRM fields rather than generic notes fields.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Journeyfront 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.
Journeyfront
Job
Recruit CRM & ATS
Job
1:1Journeyfront Jobs map directly to Recruit CRM Job records. We extract job title, description, location, department, employment type, and job board posting status. In Recruit CRM, the Job is the primary container for candidate submissions and placement tracking. Job status from Journeyfront (open, closed, on-hold) maps to Recruit CRM status values. If Journeyfront Jobs contain BPO client-specific naming conventions, we normalize stage prefixes during import to match Recruit CRM's job naming conventions.
Journeyfront
Candidate
Recruit CRM & ATS
Candidate
1:1Journeyfront Candidate records map to Recruit CRM Candidates. The full profile migrates including contact information, work history, screening responses, assessment scores, interview ratings, and pipeline stage. In Recruit CRM, Candidates are the central record across the hiring lifecycle. We resolve the candidate deduplication key (email) during import to avoid creating duplicate candidate records when candidates appear across multiple Journeyfront Jobs.
Journeyfront
Assessment
Recruit CRM & ATS
Candidate Custom Fields
1:1Journeyfront Assessment scores migrate as structured custom fields on the Recruit CRM Candidate record. We map individual assessment dimension scores to named custom fields on the Candidate. The company-specific calibration model (the proprietary algorithm that generates predictive fit scores) does not transfer—Recruit CRM has no equivalent predictive assessment engine. We flag all assessment fields during scoping and recommend that your team re-establish baseline scoring rubrics in Recruit CRM's custom field or notes structure post-migration. Assessment data itself migrates fully as historical hiring intelligence.
Journeyfront
Screening Question
Recruit CRM & ATS
Candidate Custom Fields
1:1Journeyfront's custom screening questions per job or BPO client migrate to Recruit CRM Candidate custom fields. Question text, answer type, and scoring rubric map to named custom fields on the Candidate record. BPO environments with client-customized screening recipes require careful field grouping—we map each recipe's question set to a named custom field group in Recruit CRM so that client-specific screening is preserved and queryable after migration.
Journeyfront
Pipeline Stage
Recruit CRM & ATS
Candidate Stage
lossyJourneyfront Pipeline Stages are customizable per job or workflow and migrate as Candidate stage values in Recruit CRM. Stage names are remapped from Journeyfront conventions (which often use BPO-specific stage naming) to Recruit CRM's stage taxonomy during import. Complex Journeyfront automation rules that trigger on stage transitions (e.g., auto-advance, auto-reject, auto-email) are extracted as a written automation inventory and are not executed in Recruit CRM—we document each trigger with the recommended Recruit CRM action for your admin to rebuild.
Journeyfront
Interview
Recruit CRM & ATS
Interview Calendar
1:1Journeyfront Interview records map to Recruit CRM Interview Calendar entries. We migrate interviewer assignment, scheduled date and time, scorecard ratings, overall recommendation, and any notes linked to the candidate. In Recruit CRM, interviews are linked to the Candidate record and the Job. Note: Recruit CRM's Google Calendar integration does not sync deleted meetings—if Journeyfront interviews were synced to Google Calendar and later deleted in Journeyfront, those deletions will not propagate to Recruit CRM. We recommend a calendar review before cutover to identify any stale scheduled events.
Journeyfront
Offer
Recruit CRM & ATS
Candidate Offer/Placement
1:1Journeyfront Offer records map to Recruit CRM Candidate offer data. We migrate position, compensation details, offer status (extended, accepted, declined, withdrawn), and candidate response. In Recruit CRM, offers are tracked against the Candidate and Job. If Journeyfront tracks offer history (multiple offer rounds), each offer round migrates as a separate offer entry with a sequence indicator preserved in a custom field.
Journeyfront
Hiring Team Member
Recruit CRM & ATS
User
1:1Journeyfront Users, Hiring Managers, and Interviewers map to Recruit CRM Users. We resolve by email match against Recruit CRM's user table. Role assignments (recruiter, hiring manager, interviewer, BPO client stakeholder) migrate as Recruit CRM role assignments on the candidate record. Any Journeyfront user without a matching Recruit CRM user is held in a reconciliation queue for your admin to provision before record import completes.
Journeyfront
Automation Rule
Recruit CRM & ATS
Automation (documented inventory)
lossyJourneyfront Workflow automation rules migrate as a written inventory document—not as executable code. We extract each rule's trigger (stage change, score threshold, time delay), conditions, and actions and document them in a format your Recruit CRM admin can use to rebuild equivalent automations. We do not migrate workflow logic into Recruit CRM because automation models differ between platforms. The inventory includes a Recruit CRM equivalent recommendation for each rule.
Journeyfront
Analytics and Reports
Recruit CRM & ATS
Report Export (PDF/CSV)
1:1Journeyfront's analytics dashboards are dynamically computed from raw records and do not export as flat data. We do not migrate analytics dashboards. Before migration cutoff, we recommend exporting PDF or CSV snapshots of key reports: turnover reduction metrics, tenure improvement data, SLA performance, and cohort hiring analytics. All underlying candidate, assessment, interview, and offer data migrates normally and remains available for reporting in Recruit CRM.
Journeyfront
Integration
Recruit CRM & ATS
Integration (manual rebuild)
1:1Journeyfront integrations with 400+ job boards, background check vendors, and HRIS systems are configured via API credentials within the platform and are not included in data exports. We do not migrate integration configurations. Post-migration, your team must reconfigure job board posting credentials, background check API keys, and HRIS sync settings directly in Recruit CRM. We provide a list of all configured Journeyfront integrations from the scoping audit to use as a reconfiguration checklist.

Migration approach
Discovery and scoping audit
We audit the source Journeyfront instance across all record types: Jobs, Candidates, Assessment scores and dimensions, Screening Questions, Pipeline Stages, Interview records, Offers, Hiring Team Members, and active Automation Rules. We extract the full object inventory, count record volumes per object, and identify custom properties on each object. We review the Journeyfront analytics dashboards and flag which reports should be exported as PDF or CSV snapshots before cutoff. We also document all configured integrations and identify which ones require credential reconfiguration in Recruit CRM. The discovery output is a written migration scope document with record counts, object list, and a migration readiness checklist for your team.
Schema design and field mapping
We design the destination schema in Recruit CRM before any data moves. This includes creating custom fields on the Candidate record for all Journeyfront assessment scores and screening question responses, mapping Journeyfront pipeline stage names to Recruit CRM stage values, and defining the hiring team role mapping (recruiter, hiring manager, interviewer) to Recruit CRM user roles. We use Recruit CRM's custom field API to pre-create all required fields so that data lands in typed fields rather than generic notes. The field mapping document is reviewed with your team before any import begins.
Staging migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into a Recruit CRM staging environment using production-like data volumes. Your team reconciles record counts (Candidates in, Jobs in, Interviews in, Offers in), spot-checks 25-50 candidate records for field accuracy, and verifies that assessment scores and screening responses landed in the correct custom fields. Any mapping corrections are made in the field mapping document and the staging migration is re-run before production migration begins. This step prevents data quality issues from reaching live hiring operations.
Owner and user reconciliation
We extract every distinct Journeyfront user referenced on Candidate, Interview, and Offer records and match by email against the Recruit CRM user table. Any Journeyfront user without a matching Recruit CRM account goes to a reconciliation queue for your admin to provision before record import completes. We also flag any BPO client stakeholders that were users in Journeyfront—these may not need Recruit CRM user accounts and can be migrated as candidate or contact records instead.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: Jobs (created first as the primary container), Candidates (with deduplication by email), Assessment scores (as custom fields on each Candidate), Screening questions (as custom fields on each Candidate), Pipeline stage assignments, Interview records (linked to Candidate and Job), Offer records (linked to Candidate and Job), and Hiring team assignments. We use Recruit CRM's API with batch chunking and rate-limit handling. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins.
Cutover, validation, and automation rebuild handoff
We freeze Journeyfront 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 automation inventory document to your admin team for rebuild in Recruit CRM. We also deliver the integration reconfiguration checklist for your team to re-enter job board credentials, background check API keys, and HRIS sync settings. We support a one-week hypercare window where we resolve any record linkage issues or data quality questions raised during the first active hiring week. We do not rebuild Journeyfront workflows as Recruit CRM automations inside the migration scope; that is a separate engagement or an internal admin task.
