Overview

What this migration involves

Moving from LogicMelon to Recruit CRM is a platform consolidation for staffing agencies that want a unified ATS plus CRM without the multi-posting aggregation layer. LogicMelon operates as a job distribution aggregator that pushes adverts outward to third-party boards and consolidates responses back into its pipeline; Recruit CRM is a native ATS plus CRM where job distribution happens through integrated XML feeds rather than a built-in multi-board layer. We extract Jobs, their associated Applications, Candidate profiles, and CV file attachments from LogicMelon and reconstruct them as native Recruit CRM Jobs, Candidates, and Applications. The job board target list stored per job in LogicMelon is preserved as a tag field in Recruit CRM rather than replicated as a posting action, because Recruit CRM's multi-board distribution uses a different XML feed and board-association model. Multi-posting workflow rebuilds fall outside migration scope; we deliver a written inventory of the original board distribution list for the customer's admin to reconfigure using Recruit CRM's built-in distribution tools.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

LogicMelon

What's pushing teams away

  • Editing an existing live job post can take a long time to propagate changes, particularly when the advertisement needs reformatting after the initial posting went live.
  • Posting latency varies by job board — some boards update within minutes while others take significantly longer, creating inconsistent candidate response windows.
  • Users report that third-party job board search results can behave unexpectedly with new contracts, introducing friction when sourcing across newly activated boards.
  • The interface becomes laggy under heavy multi-board posting loads, particularly when managing large volumes of concurrent job adverts and candidate records.

Choosing

Recruit CRM & ATS logo

Recruit CRM & ATS

What's pulling them in

  • Agencies choose Recruit CRM for its full customizability — pipelines, stages, and fields can be tailored to any recruitment workflow without developer involvement.
  • Small teams value the built-in CRM and ATS combined in one subscription, eliminating the need to purchase and sync separate systems.
  • The Chrome extension for one-click LinkedIn profile collection streamlines candidate sourcing and reduces manual data entry for recruiters.
  • Responsive customer support with fast issue resolution is consistently cited as a reason teams stick with the platform long-term.
  • Automation options including email sequences and workflow triggers allow recruitment agencies to reduce repetitive manual outreach tasks.

Object mapping

How LogicMelon objects map to Recruit CRM & ATS

Each row shows how a LogicMelon 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.

LogicMelon

Job

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Job

1:1
Fully supported

LogicMelon Job records map to Recruit CRM Job records. The job advert content (title, description, requirements, location, salary) migrates directly to Recruit CRM's Job fields. The original LogicMelon job reference ID is preserved in a custom field for audit and cross-system reconciliation. The per-job board target list from LogicMelon is not replicated as a multi-posting action in Recruit CRM (Recruit CRM uses XML feed distribution configured at the account level), but the list of originally targeted boards is saved as a tag field on the Job record so teams can see the original posting distribution. We extract the board list during the discovery phase and build it as a comma-separated tag string in Recruit CRM during import.

LogicMelon

Candidate

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Candidate

1:1
Fully supported

LogicMelon Candidate profiles map to Recruit CRM Candidates. Structured fields (name, email, phone, location, skills, work history) migrate directly. Any CV document stored as a binary attachment in LogicMelon is extracted as a PDF or DOCX file and attached to the Recruit CRM Candidate record via the Recruit CRM Files API (POST /v1/files) with the attachment linked to the candidate_id. The original CV filename is preserved. Candidate status history from LogicMelon's pipeline stages migrates as a custom text field or as a note entry with the stage name and timestamp, depending on the customer's Recruit CRM plan configuration.

LogicMelon

Application

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Application (linked to Candidate and Job)

1:1
Fully supported

LogicMelon Application records — which represent a Candidate's response to a specific Job — map to Recruit CRM Application records. The mapping resolves the parent Candidate (by email or candidate_id) and parent Job (by original LogicMelon job reference) at migration time using lookup tables built during the discovery phase. Application status from LogicMelon (e.g. Applied, Screened, Interviewed, Offered) migrates to the Recruit CRM application stage, and any screening score fields are mapped to custom fields on the Application record.

LogicMelon

CV / Resume (file attachment)

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

File (attached to Candidate)

1:1
Fully supported

LogicMelon CV documents are binary attachments linked to Candidate records. We extract the raw file (PDF or Word format) from LogicMelon's file store and upload it to Recruit CRM using the Files endpoint (POST /v1/files with candidate_id in the association). If multiple CVs are attached to a single LogicMelon Candidate (e.g. different versions or formats), all versions are uploaded with descriptive filenames (original_filename_v1.pdf, original_filename_v2.pdf) to preserve the complete record. The migration of CVs adds meaningful overhead because each file requires a separate API call to Recruit CRM, which is factored into the timeline estimate for large-volume migrations.

LogicMelon

Screening Notes

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Comment or Custom Field on Application

1:1
Mapping required

Recruiter notes and screening scores attached to LogicMelon Applications are extracted as structured text and mapped to Recruit CRM Notes (via POST /v1/notes) linked to the Application record, or to custom fields on the Application if the screening data follows a consistent scoring format. During discovery, we identify whether the customer's LogicMelon instance uses free-text notes, structured rating scales, or a combination, and configure the mapping accordingly before migration begins.

LogicMelon

Pipeline Stages

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Application Stage (configuration)

lossy
Mapping required

LogicMelon pipeline stages are configurable per customer (Applied, Screened, Interviewed, Offered, Hired, Rejected, etc.). We extract the customer's active stage names during discovery and map them to equivalent Recruit CRM application stages. If the destination Recruit CRM instance uses different stage names, we configure the stage mapping in a custom field first so that status history is preserved accurately rather than defaulting to an arbitrary stage that loses meaning.

LogicMelon

Job Board Targets (per-job association)

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Tag (on Job record)

1:1
Fully supported

LogicMelon stores the list of job boards targeted per job advert as a board-association object rather than a global template. During migration, we extract each job's board list and create Recruit CRM tags for each board name (Indeed, LinkedIn, Reed, etc.). The tags are associated with the Job record. This preserves the original distribution footprint for audit and reference, but it does not recreate the multi-posting action itself — Recruit CRM distributes jobs through XML feed configuration in its job board settings, which is a separate configuration step the customer's admin handles post-migration.

LogicMelon

Organisation / Sub-Unit

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Company or Team (depending on structure)

lossy
Fully supported

LogicMelon's multi-tenant hierarchy (agency-level vs. client-level or sub-unit structures) requires a structural decision in Recruit CRM. If the agency operates multiple client desks or brands, we map the LogicMelon sub-unit hierarchy to Recruit CRM Companies (for client-facing structures) or to Recruit CRM Teams (if the destination instance has Team features enabled on the plan). We make this call during discovery based on the customer's intended Recruit CRM plan configuration.

LogicMelon

User (Recruiter)

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

User

1:1
Fully supported

LogicMelon users tied to the organisation via API credentials are mapped to Recruit CRM users by email match. We extract the hubspot_owner_id or recruiter assignment from LogicMelon Jobs and Applications and match against the Recruit CRM user table during import. Any LogicMelon user without a matching Recruit CRM user is flagged in the reconciliation report for the customer to provision before record assignment migrates. Active vs. inactive status on the Recruit CRM side is determined by whether the original recruiter is still engaged with the team.

LogicMelon

Custom Fields (Job and Application)

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Custom Fields

lossy
Mapping required

LogicMelon allows custom fields on Jobs and Applications. During discovery, we identify all active custom fields and their data types (text, number, date, picklist, checkbox). We pre-create equivalent custom fields in Recruit CRM before migration begins using the Recruit CRM custom fields API (POST /v1/custom-fields). Type mismatches (e.g. a LogicMelon free-text custom field that should map to a Recruit CRM picklist) are resolved by the customer's admin during the scoping phase to avoid silent data truncation.

Pair-specific challenges

  • EMEA vs US LogicMelon API instance routing

    LogicMelon operates two distinct API bases — api.logicmelon.co.uk for EMEA and APAC customers, and api.usa.logicmelon.com for US customers — with different documentation and endpoint structures between the two. We identify the correct instance during scoping by checking the customer's account region from the contract details. If the wrong instance is targeted, authentication may succeed but all object queries return empty results. This is a silent failure mode that we prevent by routing to the correct base URL before any extraction begins. For accounts with data spanning both instances (e.g. a global agency with separate regional contracts), we extract from each instance separately and merge the datasets before loading into Recruit CRM.

  • Recruit CRM API access requires Business Plan

    Recruit CRM's API (api.recruitcrm.io) requires the Business Plan or above for access. The Starter and standard plans do not include API credentials. Before migration begins, we verify that the customer holds an active Business Plan or above in Recruit CRM. If the customer is on a lower plan, we flag this during scoping and recommend upgrading before migration proceeds, because the import will need the API rather than the CSV-based manual import method that applies at lower tiers.

  • Per-job board target lists have no direct Recruit CRM equivalent

    LogicMelon stores a per-job list of targeted job boards as a native association on each Job record. Recruit CRM does not have a per-job board list field; instead, job distribution in Recruit CRM is configured through XML feed templates in the job board settings at the account level. We preserve the board list as a tag field on the Job record in Recruit CRM, but this is metadata only — it does not recreate the multi-posting action. Teams that rely on LogicMelon's per-job board selection need to rebuild this using Recruit CRM's board feed configuration as a post-migration step. We document the original board list in the migration handoff report so the admin can configure the feed templates accordingly.

  • Rate limiting constrains CV bulk upload throughput

    Recruit CRM enforces rate limits of 60 requests per minute for accounts with six or fewer licenses, and 10 requests per minute per license for accounts with more than six licenses. CV file uploads (one API call per file attachment) are particularly affected because each CV is a separate POST request to the Files endpoint. For migrations with thousands of CV attachments, we implement request batching with the X-RateLimit headers respected on every response and exponential backoff triggered on any 429 response. We do not parallelize uploads beyond the allowed rate to avoid throttling the account mid-migration.

  • LogicMelon CV documents are binary without structured parseable content

    LogicMelon stores CVs as binary file attachments (typically PDF or Word format) linked to Candidate profiles. We extract the raw file and attach it to the Recruit CRM Candidate record. Any candidate data already captured in LogicMelon's structured profile fields is migrated directly to Recruit CRM's structured Candidate fields. The CV file serves as the backup source of truth where structured fields are incomplete. We do not perform OCR or text extraction on the CV file as part of the standard migration; if the customer requires parsed CV data to populate additional Candidate fields, a CV parsing tool (e.g. Sovren, TextKernel) would need to be run as a separate step post-migration.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful LogicMelon to Recruit CRM & ATS data migration

  1. Discovery and scoping

    We audit the source LogicMelon account across region (EMEA/APAC or US to determine the correct API instance), active Jobs, Applications, Candidates, custom fields, pipeline stage configurations, and file attachment volumes. We verify the customer's Recruit CRM plan tier to confirm API access availability. The discovery output is a written migration scope document that includes the LogicMelon API instance routing decision, a record count estimate for Jobs, Candidates, Applications, and CV attachments, and the custom field mapping plan.

  2. Recruit CRM environment setup

    We request Recruit CRM API credentials (Business Plan required) and verify the destination environment. We pre-create all custom fields identified in discovery that do not already exist in the Recruit CRM instance, using the custom fields API to match LogicMelon field types (text, picklist, number, date). We configure any non-standard application stages to match the LogicMelon pipeline stages. We verify that the rate limit for the destination account is understood (60 rpm or 10 per license) so that the extraction pipeline is tuned before data movement begins.

  3. LogicMelon data extraction in dependency order

    We extract LogicMelon data in a strict dependency order: first Organisations and Users (needed for ownership resolution), then Jobs (the parent record for applications), then Candidates (the parent record for applications and the record linked to CV files), then Applications (linking Candidates to Jobs), then file attachments (CVs and supporting documents). Each extraction phase emits a row-count reconciliation report. We use the correct LogicMelon API base URL (api.logicmelon.co.uk or api.usa.logicmelon.com) determined during discovery, and we handle the organisation-scoped authentication by including the correct username parameter on each API call.

  4. Job board metadata extraction and tag preparation

    During the Jobs extraction, we capture the per-job board target list stored in LogicMelon. We transform this list into a comma-separated string suitable for Recruit CRM's tag format. We build a tag dictionary during this phase that maps each unique board name from LogicMelon to a Recruit CRM tag. This metadata is preserved as tags on the Job record in Recruit CRM during the import phase. We explicitly document in the migration report that this is metadata only and does not recreate the multi-posting action, so the customer's admin can configure Recruit CRM's XML feed distribution separately.

  5. CV file extraction and Recruit CRM attachment upload

    We extract CV binary files from LogicMelon's file store, grouping them by candidate_id. For each CV file, we upload to Recruit CRM using the Files API (POST /v1/files) with the candidate_id association and preserve the original filename. Rate limit headers from Recruit CRM are respected on every upload; we track remaining quota using the X-RateLimit-Remaining header and back off when the limit is approached. For accounts with more than 5,000 CV attachments, we parallelise the non-file extraction work and run file uploads in a dedicated rate-limited queue to avoid blocking the main record migration.

  6. Recruit CRM import in dependency order and reconciliation

    We load data into Recruit CRM in dependency order: Companies (for org structures), Users (for ownership resolution), Jobs (with board tags), Candidates (with CV file associations), Applications (resolving parent Candidate and Job lookups), then custom field data. Each phase includes a reconciliation check comparing the record count loaded in Recruit CRM against the count extracted from LogicMelon. We flag any discrepancies for investigation before proceeding to the next phase. Once all phases pass reconciliation, we deliver the migration handoff report including the original board target list, any unmapped custom fields, and the Workflow and automation rebuild inventory.

Most migrations land between two and four weeks for accounts with fewer than 10,000 Candidates, 1,000 Jobs, and moderate CV attachment volumes (under 2,000 files). Migrations with high CV volumes (over 5,000 files), multiple custom fields requiring type mapping, active pipeline stage configurations to reconcile, or accounts requiring extraction from both LogicMelon EMEA and US instances move to five to eight weeks because of file extraction overhead, per-instance API authentication setup, and the per-job board metadata preservation work.
