Overview

What this migration involves

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.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

RecruitBPM logo

RecruitBPM

What's pushing teams away

  • RecruitBPM is a younger product compared to established ATS platforms, and some agencies report feature gaps in advanced reporting, API access, and enterprise-grade customization that they eventually need to outgrow.
  • Integration depth with some third-party tools is reported as inconsistent, particularly for payroll, background check, and onboarding tools outside RecruitBPM's native ecosystem.
  • Smaller market share and fewer third-party consultants and community resources compared to platforms like Bullhorn or Workable can make support and troubleshooting harder to access for some teams.

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 RecruitBPM objects map to Recruit CRM & ATS

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

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Candidate

1:1
Fully supported

RecruitBPM 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

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Company

1:1
Fully supported

RecruitBPM 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

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Job

1:1
Fully supported

RecruitBPM 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

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Placement

1:1
Fully supported

RecruitBPM 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

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

List / Tag

lossy
Fully supported

RecruitBPM 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

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Job Stage

lossy
Fully supported

RecruitBPM 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)

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Activity

1:1
Fully supported

RecruitBPM 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

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Interview / Activity

1:1
Fully supported

RecruitBPM 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

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

User / Recruiter

1:1
Fully supported

RecruitBPM 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

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Attachment / File

1:1
Fully supported

Resume 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

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Custom Field

lossy
Fully supported

RecruitBPM 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.

Pair-specific challenges

  • No public API on RecruitBPM; migration depends on internal tooling

    RecruitBPM does not publish a public REST API or bulk export endpoint. All source data extraction relies on RecruitBPM's internal migration team and requires coordination to receive data in their required format. This adds a coordination step and depends on their availability and timeline. We cannot independently pull data on demand outside of that process. We coordinate directly with RecruitBPM's migration process, submit data in their required format, and use their import pipeline. This step alone typically requires 3-6 weeks before structured data is available for mapping and import into Recruit CRM.

  • 60-day account purge applies after cancellation regardless of migration status

    RecruitBPM automatically purges account data 60 days after a subscription is cancelled, with no extension or recovery window. This hard deadline applies regardless of whether migration is in progress. We flag this deadline at the start of every RecruitBPM exit engagement and structure the project timeline to complete well within the 60-day window. The customer must not cancel the RecruitBPM subscription until migration is confirmed complete and signed off. Any timeline overrun caused by RecruitBPM's internal tooling delays does not extend the purge deadline.

  • Custom field schemas vary by tenant and require extraction before migration

    RecruitBPM's customization model allows agencies to define custom fields across all major objects. Since custom field schemas vary by tenant and there is no public schema reference, we extract the full field definition set during scoping before any data is moved. We identify equivalent fields in Recruit CRM, create custom fields where no standard field exists, and validate the mapping against sample data. This pre-extraction step adds time to discovery but prevents import failures caused by unmapped fields at migration time.

  • Workflows and automated sequences do not migrate as code

    RecruitBPM automated workflow triggers and sequences built on custom fields must be rebuilt at the destination. We document the original logic during scoping, capture trigger conditions, field dependencies, and action sequences, and deliver a written inventory of every active rule with a recommended Recruit CRM automation equivalent. The customer's admin rebuilds workflow logic in Recruit CRM's automation builder post-migration. This documentation step is included in the migration scope; implementation of the rebuilt rules is not.

Migration approach

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

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.
