Overview

What this migration involves

Martian Logic is an all-in-one HRIS built around a position-centric data model that spans recruitment, onboarding, core HR, and payroll. Recruit CRM is an ATS-and-CRM hybrid designed for agency recruiters, combining candidate pipeline management with client relationship tools. These are fundamentally different platforms: one manages the full employee lifecycle from hire through payroll, the other manages the recruiting transaction from requisition through placement. We migrate what Recruit CRM can represent — candidates, jobs, and client records — and flag every Martian Logic object that has no equivalent. The position hierarchy (Martian Logic's org chart) requires manual traversal of the Position-to-Position reporting chain, and e-form payloads must be parsed per-pack because field names and structures vary by employer configuration. We document Integration Connector field mappings during discovery so your admin can rebuild the payroll push logic in your target system.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

Martian Logic

What's pushing teams away

  • Steep learning curve and complex configuration requirements mean that small HR teams often lack the internal resources to fully implement all modules
  • Lack of transparent public pricing means procurement cycles are slow, and unexpected costs surface during implementation when module gating becomes clear
  • Internal employee reviews reveal a company culture and leadership style that some customers worry may translate into unpredictable product support and roadmap direction
  • Limited third-party reviews on G2, Capterra, and TrustRadius make independent vendor assessment difficult compared to well-reviewed competitors like BambooHR or Employment Hero
  • API documentation is sparse and not publicly detailed, making technical teams uncertain about integration capabilities before committing

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 Martian Logic objects map to Recruit CRM & ATS

Each row shows how a Martian Logic 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.

Martian Logic

Candidate

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Candidate

1:1
Fully supported

Martian Logic ATS candidates map directly to Recruit CRM candidate records. We extract full name, email, phone, location, work authorization status, status in pipeline, application date, source channel, and interview scores. The candidate status stages from Martian Logic map to Recruit CRM pipeline stages by reviewing the customer's active workflow configuration during discovery. Any rating or score field migrates as a custom numeric field in Recruit CRM.

Martian Logic

Position

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Job

lossy
Fully supported

Martian Logic Positions (job vacancies attached to the position-budget model) map to Recruit CRM Job records. We extract job title, department, location, employment type, and hiring manager from the Position object. The position hierarchy (Position-to-Position reporting chain) has no Recruit CRM equivalent, so we document reporting relationships as custom fields on the Job record rather than attempting a structural org chart migration.

Martian Logic

Requisition Workflow

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Job (metadata fields)

lossy
Fully supported

Martian Logic Request-to-Recruit workflow records (requisition, approval chain, headcount approval) do not have a direct equivalent in Recruit CRM. We extract open and closed requisitions with status, requesting manager, and approved headcount as custom fields on the corresponding Job record. Approval chain logic must be rebuilt manually in Recruit CRM's workflow builder post-migration.

Martian Logic

Employee Database

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Candidate (non-applicant)

many:1
Fully supported

Martian Logic Employee records do not map to a standard Recruit CRM object because Recruit CRM is an ATS, not an HRIS. For customers using Martian Logic's ATS module who also have active employee records, we filter the Employee Database to identify individuals who are not active job applicants, then migrate them as inactive or archived candidate records in Recruit CRM with a status field indicating their employment state.

Martian Logic

Onboarding Packs / E-forms

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Candidate (custom fields)

lossy
Mapping required

E-form payloads in Martian Logic are configuration-dependent JSON blobs with no fixed schema. Each pack configuration produces a different field name set, data types, and mandatory/optional status. We parse every distinct e-form payload individually during extraction and map each field to a Recruit CRM custom field on the Candidate record. If a candidate has completed multiple onboarding packs, we concatenate the payloads into a structured set of custom fields rather than a flat list.

Martian Logic

Org Chart

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Custom fields on Candidate/Job

lossy
Mapping required

The Martian Logic org chart is a derived view of the Position hierarchy rather than a standalone object. We reconstruct it by walking the Position-to-Position reporting chain. Since Recruit CRM has no org chart object, we create a department custom field on Job and a reporting_manager custom field on Candidate, populating these from the traversed position hierarchy. Archived or soft-deleted positions create orphaned nodes that we flag for cleanup before export.

Martian Logic

Compensation / Remuneration Records

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Candidate (custom fields)

lossy
Mapping required

Martian Logic compensation records linked to Positions (base salary, allowances, pay frequency from the Role and Remuneration Library) have no standard equivalent in Recruit CRM's ATS model. We extract the most recent compensation snapshot as a set of custom fields on the Candidate record: expected_salary, pay_frequency, and allowance fields. Compensation history is not migrated in full as Recruit CRM does not support the effective-dated compensation record model.

Martian Logic

Employment Changes

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Candidate activity log

lossy
Mapping required

Martian Logic Change of Staff Conditions records (effective-dated transactions recording type of change, old value, new value, reason) do not have an equivalent in Recruit CRM. We extract the employment change log as a flat timeline stored in a custom long-text field on the Candidate record. The customer's HR admin reviews and rebuilds the active change-tracking workflow in Recruit CRM's automation builder if required.

Martian Logic

Payroll Integrations

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Not applicable

1:1
Mapping required

Martian Logic Integration Connector field mappings (source-to-destination field maps for payroll push) are configuration artefacts that cannot be exported from the platform. We document every active connector's mapping during discovery, noting source fields, destination fields, and transformation rules. The customer must manually re-establish these mappings in their target payroll system post-migration. This object does not migrate — it is documented for rebuild.

Martian Logic

Performance Reviews

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Not applicable

1:1
Mapping required

Martian Logic Performance Review templates and completed reviews have no equivalent in Recruit CRM's ATS model. We extract review cycle names, template structures, ratings, and goals as a custom structured field on the Candidate or as a separate PDF document linked to the candidate record. The review rebuild falls outside Recruit CRM's ATS scope and must be handled as a separate HR tool decision post-migration.

Recruit CRM & ATS gotchas

High

API rate limits are license-scaled and can throttle bulk migration

Medium

Custom field schemas vary per organization and require field-level mapping

Medium

Files and email attachments require separate extraction and re-upload

Low

Email sequences and automation logic do not transfer between platforms

Pair-specific challenges

  • No public API reference for Martian Logic

    Martian Logic does not publish a public API reference or OpenAPI specification. The developer portal exists but endpoints, authentication schemes, and rate limits are not externally documented. We work around this by requesting a full admin-level data export through Martian Logic's platform interface, cross-referencing the output with Integration Connector payloads to build a complete picture of all stored records. During scoping, we request API access credentials and test connectivity before committing to a migration approach.

  • E-form JSON payloads require per-pack parsing

    E-forms in Martian Logic onboarding packs store field values as JSON payloads that vary by pack configuration. There is no fixed schema — field names, data types, and mandatory or optional status differ per employer. We parse each payload individually during extraction and build a custom field mapping per pack rather than applying a universal transform. Migrations with five or more distinct e-form pack configurations will have proportionally longer parsing and mapping phases.

  • Position hierarchy must be walked manually

    The Martian Logic org chart is a derived view of the Position relationship graph rather than a standalone object. We must traverse the position-to-position reporting chain manually during extraction. If positions have been archived or soft-deleted rather than properly terminated, orphaned nodes appear in the hierarchy and require cleanup before migration. Recruit CRM has no native org chart or position object, so the hierarchy is flattened into custom fields rather than represented structurally.

  • Recruit CRM has no payroll module or employee object

    Recruit CRM is an ATS and CRM hybrid. It does not include a payroll module, an employee record object, or a compensation tracking model. Any Martian Logic objects related to payroll, employee compensation history, employment conditions, or Single Touch Payroll compliance must be handled outside Recruit CRM in a separate HR tool. We explicitly flag these as non-migratable and document the full set for the customer to evaluate as a post-migration tool decision.

  • Limited native integrations on Recruit CRM

    Recruit CRM's native integrations are limited to LinkedIn, Zapier, Logic Melon, email applications, and Google and Outlook calendars. Background verification platforms like Checkr require Zapier. Integration Connector configurations from Martian Logic that push to third-party payroll or HRMS systems will not have a Recruit CRM native equivalent and must be rebuilt via Zapier or API connections that the customer configures independently.

Migration approach

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

  1. Discovery and scoping audit

    We audit the Martian Logic instance to identify all active modules: ATS candidate records, Employee Database volume, Position count, active Requisition Workflows, e-form pack configurations, Integration Connectors with their field mappings, and compliance records. We review the Position hierarchy to identify orphaned or archived nodes requiring cleanup. The discovery output is a written migration scope listing every object, its record count, extraction method, and whether a Recruit CRM equivalent exists. Any objects without equivalents are flagged explicitly as non-migratable.

  2. E-form payload parsing and custom field design

    We extract a sample record from each distinct e-form pack configuration and parse the JSON payload to identify all field names, types, and structures. Each distinct pack configuration produces a custom field set in Recruit CRM. We create these custom fields on the Candidate object via Recruit CRM's field builder before any data import begins. Any field that cannot be represented in Recruit CRM (for example, nested JSON or multi-value arrays) is flattened or stored as a long-text field.

  3. Position hierarchy traversal and department mapping

    We walk the Position-to-Position reporting chain to reconstruct the Martian Logic org chart. Each unique department or team in the hierarchy becomes a value in a Recruit CRM department custom field on the Job record. The reporting_manager relationship is stored as a custom field on the Candidate record. We flag any orphaned position nodes (archived or soft-deleted positions with no active parent) for the customer's HR admin to review and clean up before final export.

  4. Test migration and reconciliation

    We run a test migration of a representative sample of records (typically 10 percent of the total dataset or 200 records, whichever is larger) into a Recruit CRM staging environment. The customer's HR lead reviews the migrated candidates, job records, custom fields, and department assignments against the Martian Logic source. We reconcile field-level accuracy, flag any e-form fields that require re-mapping, and validate that the position hierarchy has been correctly flattened. Mapping corrections are applied before the production migration begins.

  5. Production migration in dependency order

    We run the production migration in record-dependency order. Job records are imported first (establishing the department structure), followed by candidate records with all custom fields populated from the parsed e-form payloads. Candidate-to-Job associations are resolved at migration time. Any Integration Connector documentation is delivered as a structured reference document for the customer's admin to rebuild. A delta migration captures any records modified during the cutover window.

  6. Cutover, validation, and connector documentation handoff

    We freeze Martian Logic writes during cutover and perform a final reconciliation of record counts and field values against the source. We validate a random sample of migrated records in Recruit CRM and confirm with the customer's team. We deliver the Integration Connector field mapping documentation and the e-form field reference document. We do not rebuild automations, workflows, or recruitment sequences as these require manual configuration in Recruit CRM's builder. Post-migration support is available for a defined window to resolve reconciliation issues.

Most migrations land between three and five weeks for accounts under 2,000 candidate records and a single e-form pack configuration. Migrations with multiple distinct e-form pack configurations, archived or orphaned position nodes requiring cleanup, large employee recordsets being filtered to candidate-only scope, and custom field counts above 50 move into eight to twelve weeks because of individual payload parsing, hierarchy traversal, and extended reconciliation. Timeline is also affected by how quickly Martian Logic provides the full admin export.
