Overview
Moving from Roubler to Recruit CRM is a cross-domain migration: Roubler is an all-in-one workforce management platform (HCM) covering recruiting through payroll on a single codebase, while Recruit CRM is a purpose-built ATS and CRM for recruitment and executive search agencies. There is no direct object-level parity. Employee records in Roubler do not map one-to-one to Candidate records in Recruit CRM because the data models encode different employment lifecycle stages. We begin with a data audit that classifies every Roubler object as candidate-worthy, client-worthy, or archival so the customer's team can make informed decisions about what enters Recruit CRM and what is retained as a historical reference. Roster and timesheet history, leave balances, and onboarding state migrate as structured records against the Candidate object using custom fields. Roubler's integration configuration (Xero, MYOB, POS connections) is not exportable via API and must be rebuilt. Documents attached to employee profiles are not accessible through Roubler's public API and require a separate manual export process before the migration window closes. We do not migrate workflows, automations, or award interpretation rules because these are tied to Roubler's Australian-centric compliance engine and have no equivalent in Recruit CRM.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Roubler 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.
Roubler
Employee
Recruit CRM & ATS
Candidate
1:1Roubler Employee records map to Recruit CRM Candidate records. Core fields (first name, last name, email, phone, employment type, start date, position assignment) migrate as typed Candidate fields. Contact details that are incomplete or missing in Roubler are flagged in the reconciliation report for the customer to enrich before final import. The candidate status in Recruit CRM is set to Active if the employee is currently active in Roubler, or to a historical status if terminated, since Recruit CRM's candidate lifecycle does not natively encode employment termination.
Roubler
Position
Recruit CRM & ATS
Candidate Custom Field (job_title or role_reference)
1:1Roubler Positions define roles with FTE values and task allocations. Since Recruit CRM does not have a separate Position object, we migrate the position title and FTE value into custom fields on the Candidate record. If the customer requires position-level reporting in Recruit CRM, we recommend using Candidate Tags or a custom picklist field populated from the Roubler Position list.
Roubler
Leave Balance
Recruit CRM & ATS
Candidate Custom Field (leave_balance)
1:1Leave entitlements, accrual history, and current balances migrate as structured custom fields on the Candidate record. Each leave type (annual, sick, parental) becomes a separate custom field with the current balance and effective date. We flag that Recruit CRM does not have a native leave management engine, so these values are informational only and will not trigger alerts or approvals in the destination system. Leave rules and award-based entitlement logic from Roubler do not migrate.
Roubler
Roster / Shift
Recruit CRM & ATS
Candidate Custom Field (shift_history JSON)
lossyFull roster and shift history (time, location, assigned employee) migrates as a structured JSON payload stored in a custom long-text field on the Candidate record, since Recruit CRM does not have a native Roster or Shift object. Each shift record includes date, start time, end time, location, and the original Roubler shift type. We recommend the customer review and optionally import shift history into a separate scheduling tool post-migration if rostering is a core operational need.
Roubler
Timesheet
Recruit CRM & ATS
Candidate Custom Field (timesheet_summary)
lossyTimesheet records linked to rostered shifts and clock-in/out events migrate as a summary custom field. For each pay period, we store hours worked, overtime hours, and the pay period end date. Timesheets linked to locked payroll runs are flagged with a warning since write-locked runs cannot be modified in Roubler. Recruit CRM has no native timesheet or clock-in object, so this data is stored as structured text for reference.
Roubler
Payroll Run
Recruit CRM & ATS
Candidate Custom Field (payroll_reference)
1:1Payroll run summaries (gross/net amounts, run date, pay period) migrate as read-only reference fields on the Candidate record. Full payroll detail (deductions, tax, superannuation) is not migrated because Recruit CRM has no payroll object and these records contain sensitive financial data that may require redaction. We recommend the customer retains payroll run archives in Roubler or exports them to a dedicated payroll storage system before cutover.
Roubler
Onboarding Record
Recruit CRM & ATS
Candidate Custom Field (onboarding_status)
lossyOnboarding workflow state (completed steps, pending tasks, document collection status) migrates as a structured custom field on the Candidate record. In-progress tasks that were not complete at migration time are flagged as incomplete since Recruit CRM does not have a native onboarding workflow engine. We recommend the customer rebuilds onboarding task checklists in Recruit CRM's candidate management workflow after migration.
Roubler
Custom Field
Recruit CRM & ATS
Custom Field
1:1Roubler custom fields on Employee and Position objects migrate as custom fields on the Candidate object in Recruit CRM. Field names are preserved and mapped by type (text to text, number to number, date to date, picklist to picklist). Any picklist values in Roubler that do not match Recruit CRM's allowed values are flagged in the mapping report for the customer to resolve before import.
Roubler
Integration (Xero, MYOB, POS)
Recruit CRM & ATS
Integration (configuration)
lossyRoubler integration configuration (webhook URLs, credential references, mapping rules for Xero, MYOB, and POS systems) is not exportable via the public API. These integrations must be reconfigured from scratch in Recruit CRM or replaced with alternative integrations. We document the full list of active Roubler integrations during discovery and deliver a written integration reconstruction guide as part of the migration handoff.
Roubler
Document
Recruit CRM & ATS
Manual export required
lossyEmployee documents (contracts, certifications, IDs, compliance records) attached in Roubler are not accessible via the documented API. We alert the customer during discovery so they can export these manually through Roubler's UI or via a separate screen-capture process before the migration window closes. We do not migrate binary file attachments automatically.

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.
Roubler gotchas
Roubler was acquired by MYOB — data residency and support continuity are migration-critical
No public pricing or free trial — migration budget must be negotiated blind
API is incomplete and expanding — endpoint availability varies by object
Australian-centric defaults may persist in international deployments
Document attachments are not accessible via the public API
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 classification
We audit every Roubler object across the customer's account: employee count, position list, roster history volume, leave balance records, timesheet records, payroll run summaries, onboarding state, and active custom fields. We classify each object as candidate-worthy (Employee, Custom Fields), reference-worthy (Leave Balances, Roster history, Timesheet summaries as custom fields), or archival (Payroll run details, Xero/MYOB integration credentials). The discovery output is a written migration scope that explicitly states what enters Recruit CRM and what is retained as a historical reference in Roubler or exported to a separate storage system.
Candidate data model design in Recruit CRM
We design the Candidate record schema in Recruit CRM before any data moves. This includes creating custom fields for position title, FTE value, leave balance per type, shift history summary, timesheet summary, payroll reference, and onboarding status. We configure picklist values that match Roubler's active field values and flag any value mismatches for the customer to resolve. Recruit CRM's sandbox environment is used for all initial schema validation and test imports.
Data audit and quality preparation
We audit Roubler source data for completeness and consistency. Common issues include missing email addresses on employee records, duplicate employee entries, inconsistent date formats, and Australian-state-formatted addresses. We generate a data quality report with row-level flags and deliver it to the customer's HR or admin team for enrichment before the migration load. We do not proceed with import until the data quality report shows acceptable completeness thresholds agreed upon during scoping.
Document export coordination
We provide the customer with a written document export procedure for Roubler, including the UI steps to download employee attachments (contracts, certifications, IDs) in bulk. We set a deadline for completing the export before the migration cutover window. Upload of these documents into Recruit CRM's candidate profiles is a manual post-migration step; we document the recommended folder structure and naming convention to maintain continuity.
Migration load in dependency order
We load data into Recruit CRM in dependency order: custom field schema first (deployed to production), then Candidates (from Employees with position and leave data as custom fields), then candidate shift history and timesheet summaries as structured long-text custom fields. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. Integration configuration for Xero, MYOB, or POS systems is documented separately for manual rebuild; we do not migrate integration credentials or webhook URLs from Roubler.
Cutover, validation, and integration rebuild handoff
We freeze Roubler writes during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then enable Recruit CRM as the system of record for candidate management. We deliver a written integration reconstruction guide listing every active Roubler integration and the corresponding Recruit CRM or third-party replacement (e.g., Xero integration setup in Recruit CRM, alternative POS scheduling tool recommendation). We do not rebuild onboarding workflows, award interpretation rules, or leave accrual engines; these require separate configuration in Recruit CRM or a dedicated HRMS. A one-week hypercare window covers reconciliation issues raised by the team during the first week of live operation.
