Overview

What this migration involves

Moving from Revolut People to Recruit CRM is a lateral-category migration from a skills-first HRMS to a specialist recruitment ATS. The platforms share a focus on candidate and employee data, but Revolut People's core value—performance cycles, competency frameworks, engagement surveys, and AI-assisted 1:1s—has no structural equivalent in Recruit CRM, which is designed for staffing agencies managing client relationships, job pipelines, and placements. We migrate what fits: employee records (reinterpreted as candidate profiles), active job postings, and any recruitment module applicants. We flag performance reviews, skills frameworks, engagement surveys, org structure, PTO balances, and goals as objects with no Recruit CRM target. Salary and compensation data from Revolut People's compensation insights dashboard transfers to custom fields on the candidate record. Revolut People has no public HRMS API, so migration relies on admin-level CSV exports and structured record extraction; we do not migrate document blobs and instead deliver a file manifest for manual handoff.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

Revolut People logo

Revolut People

What's pushing teams away

  • Revolut People is not available for new US customers as of 2024 due to reported regulatory or compliance issues, forcing US-based teams to find alternative platforms.
  • The platform lacks depth in payroll processing and benefits administration compared to dedicated HR suites, with G2 reviewers noting these as areas where Revolut People lags behind competitors.
  • Advanced compensation analytics and equity management features are limited, with some reviewers noting that total compensation tracking feels bolted on rather than native to the platform.

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 Revolut People objects map to Recruit CRM & ATS

Each row shows how a Revolut People 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.

Revolut People

Employee

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Candidate

lossy
Fully supported

Revolut People employee records (name, email, role, department, employment dates, employment status) migrate to Recruit CRM candidate profiles. The mapping is a schema reinterpretation rather than a 1:1 field copy because Recruit CRM's candidate object is optimised for recruitment workflows rather than HR records. We map employee email to candidate email, department to a custom candidate field, and employment status to a custom field. Start dates migrate to a custom field rather than a native Recruit CRM date field since candidate records do not have an employment-date schema.

Revolut People

Recruitment / Applicants

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Application

1:1
Mapping required

Revolut People recruitment module applicants map directly to Recruit CRM applications. Application status values (applied, screening, interview, offer, hired, rejected) migrate to Recruit CRM pipeline stages, which we configure to match the source stage names during migration. Job association migrates by resolving the Revolut People job posting reference to the Recruit CRM job record created in parallel.

Revolut People

Job Posting

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Job

1:1
Fully supported

Revolut People job postings (title, description, department, location, employment type) map to Recruit CRM job records. The job description HTML migrates as rich text. Any active job posting status (open, paused, closed) maps to Recruit CRM job status. We create Recruit CRM jobs before the application import so that the job reference is satisfied at the point of application insert.

Revolut People

Salary Structures

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Candidate (custom fields)

1:1
Mapping required

Revolut People compensation insights data including base salary, pay grade, and equity details reside in a separate data partition from standard employee records. We export this as a distinct dataset and join it to the employee record at migration time. Base salary maps to a custom numeric candidate field in Recruit CRM (current_salary__c). Equity and total compensation figures map to additional custom numeric fields. These are informational fields; Recruit CRM has no native payroll or equity tracking module.

Revolut People

Performance Cycles

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

N/A

1:1
Fully supported

Revolut People performance cycles and their associated review records have no equivalent object in Recruit CRM. Recruit CRM is an ATS and CRM without performance management, appraisal, or review-cycle functionality. We do not migrate performance cycles or their associated review data. We flag the existence of active or historical performance cycles in the migration scope document so that the customer's HR admin can decide whether to retain this data in a spreadsheet or a dedicated performance management tool.

Revolut People

Skills and Competency Frameworks

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Candidate (custom fields)

lossy
Mapping required

Revolut People skills and competency matrices vary per tenant with fully custom skill names and proficiency scales. There is no standard skill taxonomy enforced. We audit the full custom skill library during discovery, normalise skill names to a flat list, and write them to Recruit CRM candidate custom fields. Proficiency levels migrate as custom picklist values. Because Recruit CRM has no native skills management or competency framework module, this mapping is an informational normalisation rather than a functional feature migration.

Revolut People

Performance Reviews

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

N/A

1:1
Fully supported

Revolut People performance review records contain structured feedback, ratings, reviewer comments, and PIP or probation data. Recruit CRM has no review, appraisal, or feedback module. We do not migrate review records. We flag PIP and probation records separately in the scope document because they represent a compliance-relevant data category that requires explicit handling—either retention as a PDF export or transfer to a dedicated HR system.

Revolut People

Goals and Roadmaps

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

N/A

1:1
Mapping required

Revolut People goal tracking with customisable roadmaps and date-based milestones has no equivalent in Recruit CRM. Goal ownership and progress percentages have no target object. We do not migrate goals or roadmaps. We note the existence of active goals in the migration scope and recommend the customer transfer them to their new HR or performance management platform.

Revolut People

Surveys (Engagement)

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

N/A

1:1
Mapping required

Revolut People engagement survey questions and response data have no target in Recruit CRM. Recruit CRM does not include a survey, pulse-feedback, or engagement module. We do not migrate survey records or responses. We note the existence of engagement survey history in the scope document and flag it as requiring a separate survey platform for future use.

Revolut People

Org Structure

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

N/A

1:1
Mapping required

Revolut People hierarchical org structure with reporting lines, department hierarchy, and role-based permissions has no equivalent in Recruit CRM. Recruit CRM manages candidate and client relationships, not internal organisational hierarchies. We do not migrate org structure data. We deliver the reporting hierarchy as a flat parent-child CSV for the customer's reference.

Revolut People

PTO / Leave Balances

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

N/A

1:1
Fully supported

Revolut People time, attendance, PTO, and sick leave balances per employee have no target in Recruit CRM. Recruit CRM does not include a time-tracking or leave-management module. We do not migrate leave balances or accrual data. We note current PTO balances in the scope document for the customer's HR admin to transfer to their new HR system.

Revolut People

User Roles and Access

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

N/A

1:1
Mapping required

Revolut People role-based access controls with per-user permission sets have no equivalent mapping to Recruit CRM. Recruit CRM has its own user role model optimised for recruitment workflows (recruiter, admin, hiring manager). We do not migrate access control configurations. We deliver a role mapping table as a written reference for the customer's admin to configure Recruit CRM roles post-migration.

Pair-specific challenges

  • No public HRMS API on Revolut People limits extraction options

    Revolut People has no documented public API for HRMS data. The developer portal covers the Business banking API, not the People HRMS module. We work around this by requesting admin-level CSV exports for structured records (employees, applicants, job postings) and using structured extraction for review and compensation data where exports are available. Screen scraping is not used as a primary method. Any data that cannot be exported via CSV is flagged as requiring manual extraction before migration begins, which adds time to the discovery phase.

  • Performance, skills, and engagement data have no Recruit CRM target

    Revolut People is fundamentally an HRMS with performance management at its core. Recruit CRM is a recruitment ATS and CRM. Performance cycles, reviews, competency frameworks, engagement surveys, goals, org structure, and PTO balances have no equivalent object or module in Recruit CRM. Migrating to Recruit CRM means accepting that these objects will not transfer into the new system. We flag each gap explicitly in the migration scope document with recommended alternative handling (PDF export, spreadsheet retention, or a dedicated HR platform). Skipping this discovery step results in customer expectations misaligned with what Recruit CRM can receive.

  • Custom skills and scorecards require per-tenant normalisation before mapping

    Revolut People allows fully custom skills, values scorecards, and competency frameworks per organisation with no enforced standard taxonomy. Each tenant has a unique skill library that must be audited and normalised before writing to Recruit CRM's flat custom-field schema. This discovery work adds a dedicated phase to the migration timeline, typically one to two weeks, before any data mapping begins.

  • Compensation equity data sits in a separate data partition

    Revolut People stores total compensation views including vested and unvested equity in a dedicated compensation insights dashboard that is partitioned from standard employee records. This data does not export in the same CSV as the employee record and must be requested as a separate dataset. Equity vesting projections and future schedule data may not export cleanly and may require manual extraction for records where the export is incomplete.

Migration approach

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

  1. Discovery and data availability audit

    We audit the Revolut People tenant to establish what data is available for export. Because there is no public API, we request admin-level CSV exports for employees, applicants, job postings, and compensation data. We run a structured extraction request for performance cycles, skills frameworks, and engagement survey responses. We identify any data that cannot be exported via CSV and flag it as requiring manual extraction. We confirm the customer's Recruit CRM tenant is provisioned and identify which modules (Recruitment, CRM) are active so that we know the available target schema.

  2. Scope definition and gap identification

    We produce a written migration scope that lists every Revolut People object and whether it has a Recruit CRM target. For objects with no target (performance reviews, skills frameworks, engagement surveys, org structure, PTO, goals), we document the record count, the reason for the gap, and a recommended alternative handling method. The customer reviews and approves the scope before any migration work begins. This step is critical for this pairing because the HRMS-to-ATS category gap is significant and must be explicitly acknowledged.

  3. Schema design and custom field provisioning in Recruit CRM

    We configure Recruit CRM to receive the migrating data. This includes provisioning custom fields on the candidate object for salary, department, employment dates, employment status, and any normalised skills data from the discovery audit. We configure job pipeline stages to match Revolut People's recruitment module status values. We ensure the candidate object has the required fields for the application-to-job join before any records are imported.

  4. Data extraction, cleansing, and transform

    We extract the CSV exports from Revolut People and apply a cleansing pass: duplicate removal, format standardisation (date formats, email validation, phone number normalisation), and a check for orphaned records (applicants whose associated job posting does not exist). For compensation data from the separate partition, we join it to the employee record using the employee ID as the join key. Any Revolut People custom skills are normalised to the flat list established during discovery.

  5. Production migration in dependency order

    We run production migration in record-dependency order: jobs first (because applications reference them), then candidate profiles with compensation and skills data in custom fields, then applications linked to candidates and jobs, and finally any engagement activity notes linked to candidates. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report. Owner resolution for candidate records uses email matching against Recruit CRM users.

  6. Cutover, validation, and gap handoff

    We freeze Revolut People writes during cutover, run a final delta check for any records modified during the migration window, and mark Recruit CRM as the system of record. We deliver the written gap inventory to the customer's HR admin, covering every object with no Recruit CRM target, recommended alternative handling, and a file manifest for document blobs that cannot be migrated. We support a five-business-day post-cutover window to resolve any data reconciliation issues.

Strengths

  • Skills-based competency frameworks with pre-built and customisable proficiency scales for role-level skill definitions.
  • AI-assisted 1:1 meeting tools that generate agendas and track action items between manager and employee.
  • Modular pricing allows teams to start with Performance at £8/employee and add Recruitment or HR at £3–4 more per month.
  • Zero implementation fees stated upfront, reducing initial cost of adoption for new customers.
  • Organisational structure editor integrates permissions, reporting lines, and department hierarchy in one view.

Weaknesses

  • No public HRMS API documented; migration relies on screen scraping or partner export tools which may miss historical review data.
  • US market suspension since 2024 limits the platform's relevance for international teams with US entities.
  • Limited payroll depth compared to dedicated HR suites; compensation tracking lacks integration with payroll execution.
  • Benefits administration is view-only for employees rather than a full benefits-enrollment engine with carrier integrations.
  • Documentation for GDPR data portability requests is sparse, making right-to-erasure and data export compliance harder to automate.

Most migrations land between two and three weeks for accounts under 1,000 employee records and 500 job postings with clean CSV exports. Migrations with large compensation data partitions, bulk recruitment applicant histories, or extensive custom skills libraries requiring normalisation move to five to eight weeks because of the discovery phase needed to audit tenant-specific schema and identify extraction gaps before mapping begins.
