Overview

What this migration involves

Omni HR is an all-in-one HRIS built for the employee lifecycle — from recruitment through payroll — with multi-country compliance across 190+ countries. Recruit CRM is a candidate-centric recruitment and applicant tracking platform designed for staffing and executive search agencies, not internal HR teams. The fundamental mismatch is structural: Omni HR organizes data around Employees and their employment lifecycle, while Recruit CRM organizes around Candidates, Clients, and Job orders in a recruiter-centric pipeline. We resolve that schema gap during scoping by separating candidate records (sourced from Omni HR's Candidate and Onboarding objects) from employee records (sourced from Omni HR's Employee and Payroll objects) and mapping each to its equivalent Recruit CRM entity. Omni HR's 60 req/min API rate limit and lack of bulk export endpoints govern export throughput, so large datasets with multi-year histories extend migration windows measurably. Country-specific statutory fields (CPF, MPF, EPF) require explicit mapping to Recruit CRM's equivalent payroll or compliance fields, and we flag this during discovery rather than applying blind field-for-field mapping that would corrupt compliance data at the destination.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

Omni HR logo

Omni HR

What's pushing teams away

  • Relatively immature product with a limited feature set compared to established global HRIS platforms — early-stage development means some enterprise-grade features (advanced reporting, deep integrations) are still catching up.
  • Small customer base and limited third-party integration ecosystem — organizations requiring tight integrations with tools outside the standard stack (specific ATS, ERP, or industry-specific software) find Omni HR's integration library restrictive.
  • API documentation and developer ecosystem are underdeveloped — technical teams report that API reference docs lack detailed endpoint coverage and example payloads, making custom integrations harder to build and debug.
  • Performance and stability concerns at scale — while customers with 50-500 employees report solid reliability, reviews note that the platform was designed for SMB and mid-market, and large enterprise deployments may encounter performance ceilings.
  • Lack of transparency on pricing at higher tiers — the $3/user/month starting price does not clearly communicate what is included in mid-market or enterprise plans, causing some buyers to churn when actual costs exceed initial expectations.

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 Omni HR objects map to Recruit CRM & ATS

Each row shows how a Omni HR 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.

Omni HR

Employee

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Candidate

1:1
Fully supported

Omni HR Employee records map to Recruit CRM Candidate records. We map first name, last name, email, phone, location, employment status, and department. The Candidate record in Recruit CRM will carry the original employee status as a tag or custom field so the migration history is auditable. Manager assignments from Omni HR do not map to a native Recruit CRM field (no org chart object), so we flag these for manual re-entry or documentation.

Omni HR

Candidate (Recruitment)

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Candidate

1:1
Fully supported

Omni HR Candidate records are the cleaner migration source for Recruit CRM since both platforms treat candidates as first-class entities. We map candidate name, contact details, application stage, pipeline status, and any custom recruitment fields. Stage names from Omni HR are reconciled against Recruit CRM's pipeline stage values during scoping, with non-matching stages created as new pipeline stages in Recruit CRM before migration begins.

Omni HR

Company

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Client

1:1
Fully supported

Omni HR Company records (if used as part of recruitment or client tracking) map to Recruit CRM Client. The company name, address, and contact details migrate as Client fields. If Omni HR has no client-company records (typical for an internal HRIS), we skip this object and the customer starts Recruit CRM with an empty Client list to populate as they use the platform for new business.

Omni HR

Onboarding

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Candidate (with task tracking)

1:many
Mapping required

Omni HR Onboarding task lists, document collection status, and checklist progress map to Candidate records in Recruit CRM with task-oriented custom fields or notes. E-signature metadata does not transfer. Completed onboarding tasks are recorded as Candidate status updates; the original onboarding checklist is preserved as a text summary attached to the Candidate record. Active pending onboarding tasks are flagged for manual follow-up at the destination.

Omni HR

Time Off

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Not migrated (out of scope)

lossy
Fully supported

Recruit CRM is a recruitment and applicant tracking platform, not a leave management system. Omni HR Time Off records — leave requests, accrual balances, and approval history — have no equivalent in Recruit CRM's object model. We do not migrate Time Off data. If the customer needs leave history preserved, we recommend exporting Omni HR Time Off records as a CSV archive and storing it outside Recruit CRM for compliance or audit purposes.

Omni HR

Payroll Runs

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Not migrated (limited mapping)

lossy
Mapping required

Omni HR payroll runs and statutory deduction records (CPF, MPF, EPF, and similar country-specific fields) have no native equivalent in Recruit CRM, which is not a payroll platform. Country-specific statutory fields require explicit mapping by the customer's HR team before any payroll-adjacent data is loaded. We export payroll history as a structured CSV with a country-awareness layer applied during export, and we flag which records require compliance review before import into any payroll-capable destination system.

Omni HR

Performance Reviews

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Not migrated

lossy
Mapping required

Omni HR Performance Review records — review cycles, ratings, and feedback text — have no equivalent object in Recruit CRM. Review history migrates as a Candidate note or a separate archived document if the review was tied to a specific employee who is also a candidate in the system. Rating scales and review cycle configuration are not transferable.

Omni HR

Document

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Candidate attachment

1:1
Fully supported

Employee documents (contracts, IDs, offer letters) stored as file attachments in Omni HR export as file content with filenames. We re-attach these to the corresponding Candidate record in Recruit CRM. File-to-Candidate linkage is re-established during import by matching the employee name and document type against the candidate record. Any e-signature metadata associated with a document does not transfer.

Omni HR

Expense

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Not migrated

lossy
Fully supported

Omni HR Expense records have no equivalent in Recruit CRM's recruitment-centric object model. We do not migrate expense submissions, approval status, or reimbursement data. This is a known limitation for any staffing agency that tracked candidate-related expenses (interview travel, relocation) in Omni HR; those records should be exported as a CSV archive separately.

Omni HR

Custom Fields

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Candidate custom fields

1:1
Mapping required

Omni HR custom fields defined at the workbook level export with their field definition metadata (name, data type, allowed values) alongside the stored values. We map these to Recruit CRM candidate custom fields using the same field name and data type where supported. Custom fields that use a data type not available in Recruit CRM are converted to the nearest equivalent (e.g., date stored as text becomes a text field with a migration note). Custom field schema is validated in Recruit CRM's sandbox before the full import.

Omni HR

Org Chart

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Candidate (hierarchy note)

lossy
Mapping required

Omni HR's organizational hierarchy — derived from manager assignments on Employee records — has no native Recruit CRM equivalent. We extract the reporting structure from Omni HR employee profiles and produce a written org-chart summary (as a CSV or document) that the customer's Recruit CRM admin can use as reference. The hierarchy cannot be reconstructed as linked records in Recruit CRM without a custom object implementation, which is outside standard migration scope.

Low

Pair-specific challenges

  • Omni HR 60 req/min rate limit extends export time for large datasets

    Omni HR's API is rate-limited to 60 requests per minute per key and has no bulk export endpoint. Every record — employee, candidate, payroll run, document — requires its own paginated request. For a 300-employee company with three years of history and onboarding records, this can mean thousands of individual requests spanning multiple hours. We implement server-side throttling at the 60 req/min ceiling and chunk exports into batched pages, but customers with large historical datasets should expect migration timelines to be measured in hours on the export side alone, not minutes. We communicate estimated export duration upfront based on record counts.

  • Candidate-Employee distinction in Omni HR does not map directly to Recruit CRM

    Omni HR merges recruitment candidates and employees into a single or closely related object model, while Recruit CRM maintains a strict candidate-centric pipeline with separate Client and Job objects. We separate these during scoping by treating Omni HR's Candidate object as the primary source for Recruit CRM Candidates, and Omni HR's Employee object as a secondary Candidate source for anyone who moved through recruitment. Any person who appears in both Omni HR objects receives a single Recruit CRM Candidate record with both roles tagged, preventing duplicate candidate records in Recruit CRM.

  • Payroll and statutory fields have no destination equivalent in Recruit CRM

    Omni HR stores country-specific statutory deductions (Singapore CPF, Hong Kong MPF, Malaysia EPF, and similar) that have no equivalent field in Recruit CRM. Blind field-for-field mapping of these values into Recruit CRM's candidate record would create data corruption or compliance risk. We flag payroll and statutory data during discovery, export it as a country-aware structured CSV with explicit field labeling, and do not import it into Recruit CRM's candidate fields. The customer's HR team reviews this archive separately for compliance or audit purposes.

  • Custom field schema requires a two-step export from Omni HR

    Omni HR's custom field definitions live in workbook configurations separate from the standard employee API response. Migrating only the data export without the workbook schema means custom field names and data types are lost. We export both the workbook field schema and the stored values in a two-step process, validate the field definitions against Recruit CRM's supported data types, and apply conversion rules where the destination does not support the original field type. Without this step, custom field data migrates as plain text with no type enforcement.

  • Workflows and approval routing are not exportable from Omni HR

    Omni HR's approval chains, leave routing rules, conditional notification triggers, and automated task workflows live in the platform's workflow engine and are not accessible via the public API. Recruit CRM has its own workflow automation engine scoped to recruitment tasks and email triggers. We document the active Omni HR workflow configurations during scoping so the customer can manually re-implement them in Recruit CRM post-migration. This is a manual step that adds post-migration implementation effort and is not included in the standard migration scope.

Migration approach

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

  1. Discovery and scoping

    We audit the Omni HR portal for record counts across all objects (Employees, Candidates, Onboarding records, Time Off, Payroll runs, Documents, Custom Fields), confirm which objects have active records versus archives, and identify any country-specific payroll fields in use. We map the Omni HR object inventory against Recruit CRM's supported object model and identify which source objects migrate cleanly, which require transformation, and which are out of scope (Time Off, Expenses, Performance Reviews). The discovery output is a written migration scope with record counts, object mapping table, and a timeline estimate.

  2. Data export with rate-limit handling

    We extract data from Omni HR's API using paginated requests throttled to the 60 req/min ceiling. For each object, we run a two-step export: first the workbook schema for custom fields, then the data records with their custom field values resolved. We export documents as file content with filename metadata and reconstruct the employee-to-document linkage from the API response structure. Payroll records export with an explicit country tag applied to each record so that the statutory field context is preserved outside Recruit CRM's candidate object.

  3. Data cleaning and deduplication

    We deduplicate candidate records where the same person appears in both Omni HR's Candidate object and Employee object. We clean formatting inconsistencies in phone numbers, email addresses, and addresses using Recruit CRM's expected input format. We apply the country-awareness layer to payroll records and flag any records with missing required fields for customer review before import. Duplicate candidate records are merged with a preference for the Candidate object record as the authoritative source.

  4. Schema pre-creation in Recruit CRM

    Before importing any data, we create the necessary custom fields in Recruit CRM to receive Omni HR's custom field definitions. We validate that Recruit CRM supports the equivalent data type for each custom field, applying conversion rules where necessary. We configure pipeline stages in Recruit CRM to match Omni HR's recruitment stage names, creating any missing stages before migration. We do not create Client records unless Omni HR contains company records used for client tracking.

  5. Staged import and reconciliation

    We import records into Recruit CRM in dependency order: first Candidates (from Omni HR Candidate and Employee objects, deduplicated), then Documents attached to the correct Candidate records, then custom field values mapped to the pre-created Recruit CRM custom fields. Each import phase produces a row-count reconciliation report. We run a spot-check sample of 20-30 records against the Omni HR source to validate field-level accuracy before declaring the staging phase complete.

  6. Cutover, delta migration, and delivery

    We freeze writes in Omni HR during the final cutover window, run a delta export of any records modified during the migration window, import the delta into Recruit CRM, and produce a final reconciliation report. We deliver the payroll CSV archive (with country-aware field labeling), the org-chart summary document, and the workflow configuration inventory to the customer. We do not rebuild Omni HR workflows in Recruit CRM; that is a separate post-migration implementation step that we document and hand off.

Most Omni HR to Recruit CRM migrations land between three and five weeks for accounts with under 500 candidates, 1,000 employees, and no complex multi-country payroll histories. Migrations with multi-year payroll records, country-specific statutory fields (CPF, MPF, EPF), large document attachment volumes, or extensive custom field definitions in Omni HR workbooks extend to seven to eleven weeks. The 60 req/min API rate limit on the Omni HR side is the primary variable that affects export duration for large datasets.
