Overview
Moving from RecruitBPM to Recruit CRM is an ATS-to-ATS migration within the same vertical, but the platforms differ significantly in data model and API access. RecruitBPM does not publish a public REST API, so all source data extraction relies on RecruitBPM's internal migration tooling and must be coordinated with their team. This adds a coordination step and typically requires a 3-6 week window before data lands in a structured format. We handle the data once it is available, mapping Candidates to Candidates, Clients to Companies, Job Orders to Jobs, and Placements to Placements. Custom field schemas, talent pool definitions, and pipeline stage configurations are extracted during scoping, mapped to Recruit CRM equivalents, and created before import. We flag records that cannot map cleanly and document the destination field. Automated workflow logic, triggers, and sequences do not migrate as code; we deliver a written inventory of every active rule so your admin rebuilds them in Recruit CRM. The 60-day account purge deadline from RecruitBPM is flagged at project start and governs the project timeline.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.
AI proposes the map; you confirm before any record moves.
Parent–child, lookups, and ownership stay linked.
Calls, emails, meetings — with original timestamps.
Documents, uploads, and inline notes move with the record.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a RecruitBPM 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.
RecruitBPM
Candidate
Recruit CRM & ATS
Candidate
1:1RecruitBPM Candidate records map directly to Recruit CRM Candidate records. We carry forward contact details, resume data, skills, employment history, source attribution, and status. Custom fields on Candidate are extracted during scoping and mapped to Recruit CRM custom fields, with any unmappable fields flagged and documented. Candidate owner assignment (recruiter) migrates via email lookup against Recruit CRM user records.
RecruitBPM
Client
Recruit CRM & ATS
Company
1:1RecruitBPM Client records (organizations or companies that the agency places talent into) map to Recruit CRM Company records. We carry forward company name, industry, location, contact details, relationship notes, and client-specific custom fields. Client-to-Company mapping is a 1:1 transform with no dependency on other objects.
RecruitBPM
Job Order
Recruit CRM & ATS
Job
1:1RecruitBPM Job Orders map to Recruit CRM Jobs. Each Job Order carries client linkage, requirements, compensation, location, and pipeline stage. We preserve the stage progression and create the corresponding pipeline in Recruit CRM before Job import begins. Closed and active Job Orders both migrate; historical Job Orders are preserved as read-only or closed records depending on Recruit CRM's supported status states.
RecruitBPM
Placement
Recruit CRM & ATS
Placement
1:1RecruitBPM Placement records (confirmed hires) map to Recruit CRM Placement records. We carry forward start date, compensation, placement fee, and links to the Candidate and Client. Placement records serve as historical billing and performance reference, so no records are excluded from migration scope unless the customer explicitly requests archiving.
RecruitBPM
Talent Pool
Recruit CRM & ATS
List / Tag
lossyRecruitBPM Talent Pools (segregated candidate collections by skill, location, or certification) map to Recruit CRM Lists or Tags depending on the customer's intended usage. Pool membership and engagement history are preserved as list membership records tied to Candidate IDs. We define the List or Tag strategy during scoping based on how the customer uses pools.
RecruitBPM
Pipeline Stage
Recruit CRM & ATS
Job Stage
lossyRecruitBPM customizable pipeline stages (which vary by agency configuration) map to Recruit CRM Job Stage values. We extract the full stage definition set during scoping, including stage names, order, and any probability or milestone flags, and configure the corresponding stages in Recruit CRM before Job import.
RecruitBPM
Activity (Calls, Emails, SMS, Notes)
Recruit CRM & ATS
Activity
1:1RecruitBPM activity records (calls, emails, SMS, voicemails, notes) tied to Candidates and Clients map to Recruit CRM Activity records. The activity type taxonomy differs between platforms, so we normalize common types (call, email, SMS) and map proprietary types to the closest Recruit CRM equivalent. Activity timestamp and owner assignment are preserved. Note content migrates as structured activity entries with text preserved.
RecruitBPM
Interview
Recruit CRM & ATS
Interview / Activity
1:1RecruitBPM interview records (scheduled time, interviewer, format, outcome notes) map to Recruit CRM Interview records or Activity records depending on the destination's current schema. Video interview format flags are preserved where supported. Interview-to-Candidate linkage is maintained via candidate ID lookup at migration time.
RecruitBPM
User / Recruiter
Recruit CRM & ATS
User / Recruiter
1:1RecruitBPM platform users who own records and drive workflows map to Recruit CRM User records. User email, name, and role migrate directly. Owner assignment on individual records is preserved by matching on email. Recruit CRM permission sets and team structures do not exist in RecruitBPM and must be configured manually post-migration; we document the RecruitBPM permission structure as a reference for the customer.
RecruitBPM
Document / Attachment
Recruit CRM & ATS
Attachment / File
1:1Resume files, contracts, and other attachments stored in RecruitBPM migrate as binary files to Recruit CRM's file storage. We verify file format compatibility and flag any formats that are unsupported at the destination. File-to-record linkage (which attachment belongs to which Candidate or Job) is preserved via the parent record ID mapping.
RecruitBPM
Custom Field
Recruit CRM & ATS
Custom Field
lossyRecruitBPM supports customizable fields across Candidates, Clients, and Job Orders with schemas that vary by tenant. We extract the complete field definition set during scoping, identify Recruit CRM equivalents (including custom fields where no standard field exists), and create the destination schema before data import. Any custom fields that cannot map cleanly are flagged with the original field name, data type, sample values, and recommended Recruit CRM field action.

Gotchas + challenges
Platform-specific issues from each side, plus the pair-specific challenges that don't show up on either platform's page on its own.
RecruitBPM gotchas
No public API — migration depends on internal tooling
Account data purges 60 days after cancellation
Single pricing tier with opaque optional features
Custom fields and workflows may require rebuilding
Recruit CRM & ATS gotchas
API rate limits are license-scaled and can throttle bulk migration
Custom field schemas vary per organization and require field-level mapping
Files and email attachments require separate extraction and re-upload
Email sequences and automation logic do not transfer between platforms
Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discovery and data extraction coordination
We begin by scoping the full RecruitBPM record set: Candidate count, Client count, Job Order count, Placement count, Talent Pool definitions, pipeline stage configurations, custom field schemas, and activity volume. Because RecruitBPM has no public API, we coordinate directly with RecruitBPM's migration team to initiate data extraction in their required format. During this phase we also capture workflow and automation definitions for the written inventory. The discovery output is a complete record inventory and a preliminary field mapping document.
Data analysis and field mapping
Once RecruitBPM delivers the structured data export, we perform a data analysis pass to identify record counts, detect duplicates, flag incomplete records, and verify the field mapping plan against the actual export structure. We resolve the mapping for all standard objects and document every custom field, its RecruitBPM data type, and the corresponding Recruit CRM field or custom field action. We create a test import account in Recruit CRM to validate the mapping plan with a small record subset before committing to the full migration.
Recruit CRM schema preparation
We configure the destination environment in Recruit CRM before any data import begins. This includes creating all required custom fields (carrying over field labels, data types, and picklist values from RecruitBPM), configuring Job pipeline stages and stage order to match the RecruitBPM configuration, setting up Talent Pool equivalents as Lists or Tags, and configuring any activity type mappings. Schema preparation runs in parallel with RecruitBPM data extraction to avoid idle time.
Phased migration and validation
We migrate records in dependency order: Users and Recruiters first (by email match), then Clients (as Company records), then Candidates (with owner assignment resolved), then Job Orders (with client and stage linkage), then Placements (with candidate and client linkage), then Activity records, then Interview records, then Talent Pool memberships, and finally Document attachments. Each phase is followed by a row-count reconciliation and spot-check against the source export. Any mapping corrections are made before the next phase begins.
Cutover and post-migration audit
We conduct a post-migration audit with the customer to verify record counts across all objects, spot-check migrated records for data accuracy and completeness, confirm that pipeline stages and custom field values transferred correctly, and validate that Candidate-to-Job and Candidate-to-Client linkage is intact. We deliver the written workflow and automation inventory to the customer's admin. We do not rebuild RecruitBPM workflows in Recruit CRM; that is a separate configuration task outside the migration scope.
