Migrate from Phenom to Zoho Recruit

Phenom Candidates map to Zoho Recruit Candidates with full field-level export including standard properties (name, email, phone, location) and Additional Fields (tenant-specific custom attributes). The Candidates API v1 exposes GET/PUT for Additional Fields; we export the complete payload per candidate and map each to the corresponding Zoho Recruit custom field or standard field. The Zoho Recruit Candidate record is the master record for all candidate-profile data.

Phenom Jobs export via the Job Sync API with full metadata including title, description, location, requirements, and posting status. These map to Zoho Recruit Job Openings. Active and inactive jobs migrate; the job status field maps to Zoho Recruit's Opening Status (Open, On Hold, Closed, Cancelled). Historical job postings migrate as Closed with their original close date preserved.

Phenom Applications link a Candidate to a Job and include status, stage progression, timestamps, and the candidate ID association. These map to Zoho Recruit as Candidate records associated with Job Openings via the standard application workflow. We preserve stage progression history as a custom field or note attached to the candidate job association.

Phenom Employee Profile APIs handle create, access, update, and delete for employee records including preferences, skills data, and tenure. If the destination Zoho Recruit tenant is configured for internal mobility or internal candidate sourcing, employee profiles migrate as Candidates with an internal-source tag. We flag the internal versus external sourcing flag during scoping so the tag vocabulary is consistent.

Phenom Tag Management APIs export all tag assignments with the full tag vocabulary per candidate. Tags recreate in Zoho Recruit via the Tags module. We export the complete tag vocabulary and the per-candidate tag assignments so tags can be recreated or deduplicated before import. Tag-based segmentation that was used for workflow routing in Phenom maps to a Zoho Recruit custom field or pipeline stage.

Phenom Additional Fields are tenant-specific custom attributes on candidate profiles exposed via the Candidates API GET/PUT. We export the full Additional Fields payload per candidate. Zoho Recruit Professional allows 300 custom fields per module and Enterprise allows custom fields with unique field names. We pre-create all custom fields in Zoho Recruit before candidate import so field IDs are resolved at insert time.

Phenom FitScore is a proprietary AI-generated candidate-to-job compatibility score built on its skills ontology. We export the underlying skills, experience, and qualification fields that drive the score so the destination can generate its own matching. Zoho Recruit's Zia AI provides resume summarization and candidate-job matching but does not replicate the FitScore model. We note every candidate record with a FitScore value in the migration manifest so the customer can evaluate re-matching on Zoho Recruit.

The Prediction API predicts skills based on job titles and provided skill sets, generated at intake and stored against candidate profiles. We export predicted skill mappings and map them to Zoho Recruit custom multi-select picklist fields for skills. These become the input data for Zoho Recruit's Zia-based matching or manual recruiter evaluation.

Phenom Projects contain multiple Statuses defining the progression path for candidates through a workflow. These are modeling constructs, not flat pipeline fields. We export the complete workflow topology including stage names, ordering, and conditional routing. Zoho Recruit uses standard pipeline stages per job opening; custom routing logic that references Phenom-specific rules must be rebuilt. We deliver a written map of the Phenom workflow topology for the customer admin to configure in Zoho Recruit.

Campaign APIs manage one-to-many candidate outreach sequences. We export campaign structure, template content, and send history metadata. Zoho Recruit's email templates and mass email features can replicate the outreach logic, but the campaign sequences themselves do not migrate as automation. We deliver a written inventory of active campaign templates, send history, and sequence logic for the admin to rebuild in Zoho Recruit.

Phenom User and group management via SCIM protocol exports users, group assignments, and role associations. Zoho Recruit Users provision via the Users module with role-based access control. We resolve Phenom users by email match against Zoho Recruit users and flag any unmatched owners for admin provisioning before candidate migration begins.

Phenom engagement history (calls, emails, meetings, tasks, notes) migrates to Zoho Recruit's corresponding activity records linked to Candidates and Job Openings. Call disposition and duration preserve in custom task fields. Meeting attendees map via Zoho Recruit's interview scheduling module. Note content migrates to Zoho Recruit Notes attached to the candidate record.
