Overview

What this migration involves

RippleHire organizes hiring around Jobs and Candidates with a gamified referral engine that tracks reward eligibility and incentive payouts as part of the referral record. Recruit CRM is an ATS-and-CRM hybrid built for agency and executive-search teams that combines candidate management, client records, and job requisitions in a single workspace with AI resume parsing, Kanban pipeline visualization, and no-code workflow automation. The structural difference is that RippleHire is primarily an ATS for enterprise hiring in India and Southeast Asia with deep compliance features, while Recruit CRM targets agency recruiters who manage both candidates and clients. We coordinate with RippleHire's implementation team to obtain structured CSV exports of Jobs, Candidates, Referrals, and Offers since no public API exists. Referral reward status and maker-checker approval chains carry as custom fields and date-stamped notes rather than native objects, and we deliver an inventory of RippleHire workflow configurations for the customer's admin to rebuild in Recruit CRM's automation engine. BGV status flags migrate; detailed verification reports migrate as attachments. We do not migrate Reports, Declined Analysis dashboards, or Workflow definitions as code.

Field-level fidelity

Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Schema-aware mapping

AI proposes the map; you confirm before any record moves.

Relationships preserved

Parent–child, lookups, and ownership stay linked.

Full activity history

Calls, emails, meetings — with original timestamps.

Attachments & notes

Documents, uploads, and inline notes move with the record.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

RippleHire

What's pushing teams away

  • Occasional UI performance issues and unexpected error messages frustrate users managing high-volume pipelines during peak hiring periods.
  • Limited public documentation on API endpoints and data export mechanisms makes self-serve migration planning difficult for IT teams.
  • Enterprise-scale customers report that custom workflow configurations require significant admin time to maintain as hiring processes evolve.

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 RippleHire objects map to Recruit CRM & ATS

Each row shows how a RippleHire 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.

RippleHire

Job (Requisition)

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Job

1:1
Fully supported

RippleHire Jobs map directly to Recruit CRM Job records. We preserve job title, description, department, location, status, and any job-board posting attribution as sourcing channel metadata. Pipeline stages from RippleHire map to Recruit CRM's stage configuration. If RippleHire stores hiring manager or recruiter owner on the Job, we resolve by email to a Recruit CRM User and set the Owner field accordingly.

RippleHire

Candidate

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Candidate

1:1
Fully supported

RippleHire Candidates are the primary record type and map directly to Recruit CRM Candidates. We preserve full contact details, current status, stage progression timestamps, source attribution (referral, job board, vendor, direct), and any custom fields configured per hiring workflow. Sourcing channel attribution is stored as a custom field or note in Recruit CRM since RippleHire's unified sourcing view does not map to a native Recruit CRM field.

RippleHire

Referral

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Referral (or Candidate with source flag)

1:many
Fully supported

RippleHire Referral records carry referrer identity, referral status, and reward eligibility as part of the gamified engine. Recruit CRM does not have a native gamified referral schema. We split the referral record: the referred Candidate moves to the Candidate object, the referrer identity moves as a custom field or related contact record, and reward eligibility and incentive payout status flag as custom fields on the Candidate. Any gamified reward-specific data that cannot map directly is flagged for manual reconciliation post-migration.

RippleHire

Offer

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Candidate or Job (offer records)

lossy
Fully supported

RippleHire Offer records track offer letter content, multi-level maker-checker approval outcomes, and acceptance or decline status. Recruit CRM stores offer data as part of the Candidate or Job record or as a custom object. We map offer status, salary, start date, and approval outcome as custom fields. The maker-checker approval chain (who approved, at which stage, under which policy rule) carries as a date-stamped notes field rather than a native approval record. Multi-level approval logic is flagged as a workflow rebuild item in Recruit CRM's automation engine.

RippleHire

User (Hiring Team Member)

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

User

1:1
Fully supported

RippleHire Users (recruiters, hiring managers, admins) map to Recruit CRM Users by email match. Role-based access from RippleHire maps to Recruit CRM role assignments. Any RippleHire User referenced on a record but not found in Recruit CRM goes to a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision before record import resumes.

RippleHire

Custom Fields (Jobs and Candidates)

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Custom Fields

lossy
Mapping required

RippleHire custom fields on Jobs and Candidates map to Recruit CRM custom fields. We recreate picklist values, conditional logic dependencies, and field-level visibility as part of the destination schema configuration before migration begins. Any conditional-logic dependencies that cannot map to Recruit CRM's custom field engine are flagged for admin review.

RippleHire

Background Verification (BGV) Records

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Candidate (BGV status fields)

1:1
Mapping required

RippleHire BGV records track Aadhaar verification status and other India-specific checks tied to Candidates. We map verification status flags to custom fields on the Recruit CRM Candidate record. Detailed BGV report documents export as attachments and are linked to the Candidate record. Full BGV workflow tracking (steps, dates, outcome) carries as notes or a BGV-specific custom object if the customer configures one in Recruit CRM.

RippleHire

Onboarding (POFU and Day-One)

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Candidate or Task records

1:1
Fully supported

RippleHire Onboarding records include post-offer engagement tracking (POFU), appointment scheduling, and task completion status. We map onboarding task completion and status flags to Recruit CRM Tasks or to custom fields on the Candidate record. Full day-one details that live in a downstream HRIS do not migrate since RippleHire Onboarding is a separate module from the hiring ATS. We flag any post-offer engagement data that requires manual follow-up in Recruit CRM.

RippleHire

Talent Sourcing Channels

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Candidate (source attribution)

1:1
Mapping required

RippleHire unifies referrals, vendor or agency sources, and job board sources under a single sourcing view. We preserve source attribution at the candidate level as a custom field in Recruit CRM. Vendor-specific pipeline stages that are RippleHire-specific do not map directly and are noted for the admin to standardize post-migration. The sourcing attribution is valuable for reporting and is preserved without being tied to a native object structure in Recruit CRM.

RippleHire

Workflow Configurations

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Workflow (inventory only)

1:1
Fully supported

RippleHire maker-checker workflow configurations govern offer approvals and other approval gates. These are system-level workflow definitions that we do not migrate as code. We audit and document every active RippleHire workflow configuration including its trigger, conditions, stages, approver chain, and actions, and deliver a written inventory that maps each RippleHire workflow to a recommended Recruit CRM automation or manual process. The customer rebuilds in Recruit CRM's automation engine post-migration.

Custom field schemas vary per organization and require field-level mapping

Medium

Files and email attachments require separate extraction and re-upload

Low

Email sequences and automation logic do not transfer between platforms

Pair-specific challenges

  • RippleHire export requires vendor coordination

    RippleHire does not publish a developer API reference or bulk export endpoint. Data export requires coordination with their support or implementation team to obtain structured CSV or direct-database exports of Jobs, Candidates, Referrals, Offers, and Onboarding records. We handle this coordination as part of the migration scoping phase. Timeline extends by one to three weeks if RippleHire's export team requires additional processing time or data validation cycles before releasing the export files.

  • Gamified referral reward schema has no direct Recruit CRM equivalent

    RippleHire's gamification engine tracks referral reward eligibility, referral status, and incentive payouts as part of the referral record. Recruit CRM does not have a native gamified referral module. Reward eligibility and incentive payout data cannot map directly to a native Recruit CRM object and carry as custom fields on the Candidate record or as a reconciliation spreadsheet for manual review. We flag the full referral record including reward status and any gamification-specific attributes that cannot map cleanly for the customer to address post-migration.

  • Maker-checker approval chains become notes, not native approvals

    RippleHire's maker-checker workflow engine captures who approved an offer, at which stage, and under which policy rule. Recruit CRM does not have an equivalent approval chain engine. Approval outcomes migrate as date-stamped notes on the offer or Candidate record, preserving the who, when, and outcome but not the conditional routing logic. Any multi-level approval logic that governed which approver saw an offer at each stage needs to be rebuilt as a Recruit CRM automation or manual approval process by the customer's admin.

  • BGV records migrate as flags and attachments, not as a workflow

    RippleHire's BGV module tracks Aadhaar-based background verification steps, statuses, and outcomes as a linked workflow on Candidates. Recruit CRM has no native BGV module. We map verification status flags to custom fields and carry detailed BGV reports as file attachments on the Candidate record. The step-by-step verification workflow does not migrate; the customer's admin sets up a manual process or third-party BGV integration post-migration if ongoing verification tracking is required.

Migration approach

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

  1. Export coordination with RippleHire

    We initiate contact with RippleHire's implementation and data export team to request structured exports of Jobs, Candidates, Referrals, Offers, Onboarding records, BGV status data, and any custom field exports. This step requires the customer's authorization to engage RippleHire support. We document the export format, file delivery method, and estimated delivery timeline. Parallel to this, we audit the Recruit CRM destination environment including plan tier, existing object structure, custom field configuration, and user accounts to determine what schema work is needed before migration begins.

  2. Schema design and field mapping specification

    We design the destination schema in Recruit CRM based on the RippleHire export. This includes creating custom fields for sourcing attribution (referral, vendor, job board), referral reward status flags, BGV verification status fields, offer approval outcome notes, and any custom fields from RippleHire's per-workflow configurations. We produce a field mapping specification document that shows each RippleHire field alongside its Recruit CRM destination, field type, and any transformation logic required. The customer reviews and approves the mapping specification before any data loads run.

  3. Data staging and transformation

    We receive RippleHire export files and load them into a staging environment. We run data quality checks: duplicate detection, missing required fields, malformed contact records, and referential integrity across Jobs, Candidates, and Offers. We apply transformation logic including the referral reward schema split (reward data moves to custom fields rather than a native object), sourcing channel normalization, and maker-checker approval outcome parsing into date-stamped notes. We emit a staging quality report showing record counts by object, duplicate counts, and any records with data issues that require customer input before import.

  4. Test migration into Recruit CRM sandbox

    We run a full test migration into Recruit CRM using production-like data volume from the staging environment. We validate that custom fields render correctly, that referral records split as expected, that BGV status flags appear on the correct Candidates, and that offer records carry approval notes. The customer's admin reviews the test environment, spot-checks 25-50 records against the RippleHire source, and approves the mapping before production migration begins. Any corrections to field mapping, custom field creation, or transformation logic happen here.

  5. Production migration in dependency order

    We run production migration in record-dependency order: Jobs (primary requisitions, no dependencies), Users (resolved by email match), Candidates (with sourcing attribution and BGV status flags), Referrals (split into Candidate fields and referrer contact data), Offers (with approval notes), and Onboarding task status. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. We freeze RippleHire writes during the final cutover window, run a delta migration of any records modified during the migration, and verify total record counts match across source and destination.

  6. Cutover, validation, and workflow inventory delivery

    We enable Recruit CRM as the system of record once the production migration is validated and the customer signs off. We deliver the RippleHire workflow configuration inventory documenting every active maker-checker workflow, BGV step chain, and custom approval gate with a recommended Recruit CRM automation equivalent for the customer's admin to rebuild. We provide a reconciliation report showing record counts, any unmapped fields, and the status of referral reward data and approval notes in Recruit CRM. We support a one-week hypercare window for data quality issues raised by the recruiting team.

Most migrations land between three and five weeks for accounts under 10,000 Candidates and 500 Jobs with no gamified referral data and basic offer records. Migrations with gamified referral reward schemas, multi-level maker-checker approval chains, large BGV status histories, or post-offer engagement records move to seven to twelve weeks. The RippleHire vendor-assisted export adds one to three weeks to the timeline if RippleHire's team requires additional processing time before releasing export files.
