Overview
Moving from Recruitee to Recruit CRM is a migration from a collaborative ATS toward an ATS+CRM hybrid designed for recruitment and executive search agencies. Recruitee's job-centric data model maps to Recruit CRM's combined candidate-and-client structure, which means Talent Pools require explicit mapping to candidate lists and job custom fields need schema-level remapping. We handle the full extraction from Recruitee's API including CareersHub career page content, interview scorecards serialized as structured evaluation notes, and active job post staging for teams on the Start plan's 5-job cap. Recruit CRM's managed migration service (10-14 days) runs in parallel with our own extraction and import; we coordinate timing to avoid duplicate writes. Workflow automations and stage configurations are documented for your admin to rebuild in Recruit CRM's automation builder post-migration.
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 Recruitee 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.
Recruitee
Job
Recruit CRM & ATS
Job
1:1Recruitee Jobs map directly to Recruit CRM Job records, preserving title, department, location, and status. Job custom fields migrate as custom fields in Recruit CRM. Teams on Recruitee's Start plan (5 active job cap) must stage migration in batches of 5 or fewer concurrent active positions; we coordinate upgrade to Advance or Optimize before migration or run a two-pass import. Closed and archived jobs migrate without the cap constraint.
Recruitee
Candidate
Recruit CRM & ATS
Candidate
1:1Recruitee Candidate records map to Recruit CRM Candidate with name, email, phone, social profiles, and source attribution preserved. Custom candidate properties map directly to Recruit CRM custom fields by name match; conflicting field names receive a renamed target field. CV and resume files migrate as attachments linked to the candidate record.
Recruitee
Application
Recruit CRM & ATS
Application
1:1Recruitee Applications link a Candidate to a Job with a specific stage and timestamp. We preserve the candidate-to-job linkage, application creation date, and application status. Application history (stage transitions with timestamps) migrates as activity entries in Recruit CRM to preserve pipeline velocity analytics.
Recruitee
Pipeline Stage
Recruit CRM & ATS
Stage
lossyRecruitee's per-job customizable pipeline stages require extraction per pipeline configuration and remapping to Recruit CRM's stage structure. Stage order, names, and probability values migrate. If Recruitee's pipeline has stages that do not map cleanly to Recruit CRM defaults, we create custom stage values during schema setup before job import.
Recruitee
Offer
Recruit CRM & ATS
Offer
1:1Recruitee Offer records (status, salary details, start date, candidate linkage) map to Recruit CRM Offer records with the candidate relationship preserved. Offer status history migrates as structured notes attached to the offer so reporting can be rebuilt in Recruit CRM.
Recruitee
Talent Pool
Recruit CRM & ATS
Candidate List
1:manyRecruitee Talent Pools are named collections of candidates. Each pool maps to a Recruit CRM Candidate List with membership migrated as list entries linked to the candidate record. Pool-level tags and notes migrate as list metadata or candidate tags. Candidates appearing in multiple pools generate entries in each corresponding Recruit CRM list.
Recruitee
Interview Scorecard
Recruit CRM & ATS
Evaluation Note
1:1Recruitee scorecard data lives inside application activity as attribute-level ratings attached to a specific interviewer and timestamp. There is no standalone scorecard object in the export. We serialize each scorecard as a structured evaluation note with parseable attribute-rating pairs (for example, 'Technical Skills: Strong Yes') and preserve the interviewer identity and timestamp. Recruit CRM's evaluation fields receive this as structured notes if no native scorecard object is available in the destination plan tier.
Recruitee
User (Team Member)
Recruit CRM & ATS
User
1:1Recruitee Users map to Recruit CRM Users by email match. Role terminology differs: Recruitee's Admin, Recruiter, and Hiring Manager map to equivalent Recruit CRM roles. We reconcile by extracting all distinct user references in migrated records and matching against the destination User table before record import.
Recruitee
Department
Recruit CRM & ATS
Department
1:1Recruitee Departments migrate as Recruit CRM Departments, preserving the job-to-department linkage. Department-level reporting structures survive migration intact.
Recruitee
Note
Recruit CRM & ATS
Note
1:1Recruitee Notes (free-text entries attached to candidate profiles) migrate as Notes in Recruit CRM with timestamp and author attribution preserved. Notes linked to specific applications carry the candidate linkage in Recruit CRM.
Recruitee
Attachment
Recruit CRM & ATS
Attachment
1:1File attachments (resumes, cover letters, portfolio files) stored in Recruitee's document store export as binary files and re-upload to Recruit CRM linked to the candidate record via filename and candidate ID resolution.
Recruitee
CareersHub Content
Recruit CRM & ATS
Career Site Page
lossyRecruitee's CareersHub career site pages (page content, job board configurations, domain settings) do not live in the same API schema as Jobs and Candidates. We export CareersHub content as a structured archive and either import it to Recruit CRM's career site module if available in the customer's plan tier, or deliver it as a documented archive for manual republishing. This is a low-severity gap; most teams rebuild the careers page in Recruit CRM's builder.

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.
Recruitee gotchas
Start plan active job post limit constrains migration scope
Workflow automations are not exportable as portable data
Scorecard schemas vary by organization and require structured serialization
Parallel-run delta management during migration window is manual
CareersHub career site data requires separate export handling
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 job-cap audit
We audit the Recruitee account across plan tier, active job count, pipeline configurations, custom fields on Jobs and Candidates, Talent Pool count and membership size, user count and role assignments, attachment volume, and CareersHub page count. We specifically flag whether the active job count exceeds the Start plan's 5-job cap and recommend upgrade or two-pass staging before schema design begins. We also extract active workflow automations for documentation, not migration.
Schema design and candidate-list strategy
We design the Recruit CRM schema before any data import. Pipeline stages are configured as Recruit CRM Stages with names and probabilities matching the Recruitee configuration per job. Talent Pool remapping is defined as a candidate-list strategy: each Recruitee pool becomes a Recruit CRM list, with deduplication rules for candidates appearing in multiple pools. Custom fields on Jobs and Candidates are pre-created in Recruit CRM with types mapped from Recruitee's field types (text, number, date, user reference).
Sandbox migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into Recruit CRM using representative data volume. The customer's team reconciles record counts (Candidates in, Applications in, Jobs in, Offers in, Talent Pool memberships in), spot-checks 20-30 random candidates against the Recruitee source for field accuracy and attachment presence, and validates stage names and offer statuses. Any mapping corrections happen in sandbox before production migration begins.
User provisioning and delta freeze coordination
We extract every distinct Recruitee user referenced in migrated records and match by email against the Recruit CRM destination User table. Any Recruitee user without a matching Recruit CRM User goes to a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision before record import resumes. We recommend a read-only freeze window (24-48 hours) for the final delta capture to avoid manual reconciliation of records modified during the migration window.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: Departments and Users first (no dependencies), then Jobs (with stage configurations resolved), Candidates (with custom fields mapped), Applications (with candidate-to-job linkage and stage history), Offers (with candidate relationship), Talent Pool memberships (as Candidate List entries with deduplication), Notes and Activity History (with author attribution), Attachments (with candidate linkage), and CareersHub content (as structured archive for manual republishing). Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins.
Cutover, validation, and automation rebuild handoff
We freeze Recruitee writes during cutover, run a final delta migration of records modified during the migration window, then enable Recruit CRM as the system of record. We deliver the workflow automation inventory and stage configuration documentation to the customer's admin for rebuild in Recruit CRM's automation builder. We support a one-week hypercare window for reconciliation issues raised by the team. We do not rebuild Recruitee automations as Recruit CRM automations inside the migration scope; that is a separate engagement or an internal admin task.
