Migrate from Manatal to Recruit CRM & ATS

Manatal Candidates map directly to Recruit CRM Candidates. We migrate all profile fields including name, email, phone, location, experience, education, and skills. Custom fields organized under custom categories transfer as custom fields in Recruit CRM with their category hierarchy preserved. Stage history, tags, and activity logs migrate as linked records. Resume files migrate as document attachments with metadata preserved. Manatal's UTC timestamps convert to local timezone as configured during scoping.

Manatal Jobs map to Recruit CRM Jobs with pipeline stages preserved as configurable stage definitions. Each job's stage sequence migrates as an ordered list, and current candidate-to-stage assignments transfer with the correct candidate reference resolved. Job-level custom fields migrate under the equivalent custom field structure in Recruit CRM. Note that Manatal's 15-job limit on Professional does not apply to Recruit CRM, so any jobs over that cap migrate without restriction.

Manatal Organizations map to Recruit CRM Organizations representing recruitment clients or companies. Manatal's CSV/JSON import uses name-only deduplication, silently skipping records with matching names. We pre-process source data to identify and resolve naming conflicts before generating the Recruit CRM import file, ensuring no client records are lost. Organization-level custom fields and contact associations migrate with their relationships intact.

Manatal custom fields on Candidates are organized under custom categories and require Admin-level access to create or modify. We preserve the full field structure including field name, data type, and values across the candidate database. Legacy custom field structures with non-standard field IDs may require remapping if the field reference has drifted. Recruit CRM supports custom fields on all plans without tier gating.

Job custom fields in Manatal are scoped to custom categories defined by the Admin. We transfer the field definition and all populated values to Recruit CRM job custom fields. The migration requires Admin credentials on Manatal to read the custom field schema during discovery. Recruit CRM's custom field builder is available without an additional plan upgrade.

Pipeline stages are defined per Job in Manatal. We migrate the full stage sequence including custom stage names, ordering, and probability percentages where configured. Each Manatal job-to-stage mapping transfers as a candidate-stage assignment in Recruit CRM. Stage colors and custom labels map to Recruit CRM's stage customization options.

Tags are flat label objects applied to Candidates and Jobs in Manatal. We migrate all tag assignments preserving tag names across the full dataset. Recruit CRM uses a matching tag model with the same application scope (candidates, jobs, organizations). Tag counts and distribution are reconciled post-import against the Manatal source export.

Manatal activity logs capture user actions on Candidates and Jobs with timestamps and actor attribution. We migrate log entries as Activity records in Recruit CRM linked to the relevant Candidate or Job. High-volume activity logs (over 200,000 records) require chunking due to API pagination limits. UTC timestamps from Manatal are preserved and flagged for timezone review.

Resume files and other attachments referenced in Candidate profiles migrate as document metadata and file references. Binary file transfer depends on Manatal's export capabilities for the account. If the Manatal account has export access (Enterprise Plus or support-enabled), we transfer document file content directly. If not, we migrate document metadata and reference URLs for manual re-upload by the customer.

Manatal user accounts with roles and permissions migrate as contact records in Recruit CRM. Manatal's internal user ID and role assignments preserve as custom properties on the Recruit CRM user record for reference. SSO configuration does not transfer; Recruit CRM SSO setup is a separate configuration step post-migration. User Groups map to Recruit CRM team structures.

Manatal workflow automations trigger on stage transitions or candidate actions and are available only on Enterprise and Enterprise Plus. We document every automation rule including trigger event, conditions, and actions as a written specification for Recruit CRM's admin to rebuild using Recruit CRM's no-code workflow builder. Automations do not migrate as executable code. We do not attempt to translate Manatal automation logic to Recruit CRM's visual builder format.

Manatal's CRM features for agencies tracking client relationships, placements, and commission revenue migrate as custom objects or standard CRM equivalents in Recruit CRM depending on the destination configuration. Placement records link to the migrated Candidate and Organization. Revenue fields and commission tracking migrate with their numeric values preserved.
