Overview
Moving from Screenloop to Zoho Recruit is a migration shaped by Screenloop's lack of a public API and its proprietary Interview Intelligence layer. Screenloop's core ATS objects (Candidates, Jobs, Pipeline Stages, Users, Custom Fields) are migratable via coordinated CSV export, but Interview transcripts and AI-generated scorecard notes live in a non-exportable format that requires special flagging. We extract scorecard schema as structured data for manual recreation at the destination, reconstruct stage history from individual record queries where possible, and map Screenloop's configurable pipeline stages to Zoho Recruit's job-specific workflow stages. Workflows, automations, background check raw documents, and training module content do not migrate; we deliver a written inventory for the customer's admin to rebuild in Zoho Recruit's workflow builder.
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 Screenloop object lands in Zoho Recruit, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.
Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.
Screenloop
Candidates
Zoho Recruit
Candidates
1:1Screenloop Candidates map directly to Zoho Recruit Candidates. Standard fields (full name, email, phone, location, application date, source) migrate as typed fields in Zoho Recruit. Stage history from Screenloop's pipeline log is reconstructed as timestamped notes attached to the Zoho Recruit Candidate record since Zoho Recruit tracks stage changes as standard pipeline activity. We apply the same email-based deduplication logic used across both platforms to avoid creating duplicate candidate records.
Screenloop
Jobs
Zoho Recruit
Job Openings
1:1Screenloop Job postings map to Zoho Recruit Job Openings with title, department, location, employment type, and description preserved. Active versus closed status transfers directly. Any Screenloop job-specific custom fields (recruiter assigned, hiring manager, department head) are mapped to Zoho Recruit custom fields on Job Openings during the field alignment phase before import.
Screenloop
Pipeline Stages
Zoho Recruit
Interview Stages / Workflow Stages
lossyScreenloop's configurable pipeline stages (Applied, Screening, Interview, Offer, and any custom stages) map to Zoho Recruit's Interview Stages tied to the job-specific workflow. Stage ordering and stage-specific rules are extracted from Screenloop and documented as a Zoho Recruit workflow configuration guide so the customer's admin can apply them to each Job Opening post-migration. Stage transition timestamps are preserved as Activity notes on the Candidate record.
Screenloop
Scorecards
Zoho Recruit
Evaluation Forms / Custom Fields
1:1Screenloop scorecard structures (rating criteria, weighting, free-text fields) are extracted as a structured schema during the audit phase. Since Zoho Recruit's evaluation forms use a different data model, we map each Screenloop rating criterion to a Zoho Recruit custom field on the Candidates module, with rating scale alignment documented in the mapping spreadsheet. The customer's admin recreates the evaluation form template in Zoho Recruit using the extracted schema as a reference.
Screenloop
Interview Records
Zoho Recruit
Interviews
1:1Screenloop Interview records (scheduled date, interviewer assignment, interview type, duration, outcome) map to Zoho Recruit Interview records. Screenloop's Interview Intelligence transcript text migrates as a note attached to the Zoho Recruit Interview record. Raw audio files are not accessible via any documented endpoint and are flagged for the customer to request directly from Screenloop support if required for compliance.
Screenloop
References
Zoho Recruit
Candidates (Reference section) / Custom Module
1:1Screenloop's Modern Referencing records (referee name, relationship, submission date, feedback) are mapped to the Candidate's reference data section in Zoho Recruit. If the customer uses reference feedback for compliance tracking, we can alternatively create a custom Reference module in Zoho Recruit with equivalent fields. The referee feedback text migrates as structured text fields.
Screenloop
Background Checks
Zoho Recruit
Candidates (Background Check section) / Custom Fields
1:1Background check records (check type, provider, status, outcome summary) from Screenloop transfer as structured fields to Zoho Recruit. Raw PDF reports from Screenloop's Certn integration are not programmatically accessible; we flag this and advise the customer to request PDF exports directly from Certn or Screenloop support post-migration. Status and outcome summary data migrates to a custom section on the Candidate record.
Screenloop
Users
Zoho Recruit
Users
1:1Screenloop User accounts (Admin, Hiring Manager, Recruiter, Interviewer) map to Zoho Recruit User accounts by email match. Role assignments are preserved in a custom field on the Zoho User record so that the customer's admin can map Screenloop roles to Zoho Recruit roles during onboarding. Interviewer attribution on Candidate records is resolved via the email match at migration time.
Screenloop
Custom Fields (Candidates, Jobs, Interviews)
Zoho Recruit
Custom Fields (Candidates, Job Openings, Interviews)
1:1Custom fields on Candidates, Jobs, and Interviews export with their data types (text, number, date, single-select, multi-select) and current values. We apply a field-level mapping step to align each Screenloop custom field to an equivalent Zoho Recruit custom field, creating the destination field in Zoho Recruit if it does not already exist before import. Multi-select picklists in Screenloop map to Zoho Recruit multi-select fields using the same delimiter convention.
Screenloop
Training Modules
Zoho Recruit
Custom Fields / User Notes
1:1Screenloop Interviewer Training completion records (which modules each user completed and assessment scores) migrate as custom fields or structured notes on the Zoho Recruit User record. The actual training video content, slides, and interactive assessments do not transfer and must be rebuilt or re-uploaded in Zoho Recruit's training materials section if the customer wants to maintain interviewer training within the ATS.
Screenloop
Activity / Stage Change Log
Zoho Recruit
Candidate Activity History
lossyScreenloop accumulates pipeline event history (stage changes, interview outcomes, note additions) as candidate activity. Since no bulk export endpoint exists for historical transaction logs, we reconstruct stage history by querying accessible candidate records individually. For accounts with fewer than 5,000 candidates, this yields a complete event timeline. Accounts with 10,000+ candidates may have incomplete event timelines; we flag gaps in the audit report and advise requesting historical export assistance from Screenloop support.
Screenloop
Workflows / Automations
Zoho Recruit
N/A — excluded
lossyScreenloop workflows and automation rules are not migrated. Screenloop's property-triggered workflow model differs structurally from Zoho Recruit's workflow builder. We deliver a written inventory of every active Screenloop workflow with its trigger, conditions, and actions, plus a Zoho Recruit equivalent recommendation for each. The customer's admin rebuilds these in Zoho Recruit's workflow section post-migration.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Scoping and CSV export coordination
We audit the Screenloop account across all modules (Candidates, Jobs, Pipeline Stages, Scorecards, Interview Records, References, Background Checks, Users, Custom Fields) and determine the export approach for each. Because Screenloop lacks a public API, we coordinate with the customer's Screenloop admin to generate CSV exports from the admin interface. We review the exported files for completeness, identify any orphaned records or missing fields, and produce a written scoping document that maps each Screenloop object to its Zoho Recruit equivalent before any import begins.
Zoho Recruit sandbox setup and schema preparation
We create a Zoho Recruit sandbox account and prepare the destination schema. This includes provisioning custom fields on Candidates, Job Openings, and Interviews to match the extracted Screenloop schema, designing the evaluation form structure for scorecard recreation, and configuring interview workflow stages per job type. We document any Zoho Recruit fields that have no Screenloop equivalent (for example, Zoho Recruit-specific fields like Client or Vendor) and advise the customer on their post-migration use.
Scorecard schema extraction and mapping documentation
We extract the full scorecard schema for each active Screenloop job during the audit phase. This includes all rating criteria, weighting values, free-text fields, and AI-generated note fields. We produce a Zoho Recruit Evaluation Form mapping spreadsheet that the customer's admin uses to recreate scorecard templates in Zoho Recruit. This step runs in parallel with sandbox setup so that the admin can begin template recreation while we prepare the data export.
Data export, cleaning, and test migration
We run a test migration into the Zoho Recruit sandbox with a representative sample (50-100 records per module). The customer's recruiting leads spot-check the migrated records against the Screenloop source, validate stage history reconstruction, confirm that interviewer attributions are intact, and sign off the mapping before full production migration begins. Any field mapping corrections, deduplication issues, or stage history gaps are addressed in this phase.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: Users first (validated by email match), then Job Openings, then Candidates with stage history notes, then Interviews with transcript text, then References and Background Check metadata, then Custom Fields. Scorecard templates are delivered as documentation rather than imported data; the admin rebuilds these in Zoho Recruit using the mapping spreadsheet before activating hiring workflows. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins.
Cutover, delta migration, and workflow rebuild handoff
We freeze Screenloop writes during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then enable Zoho Recruit as the system of record. We deliver the Screenloop workflow and automation inventory document to the customer's admin team with Zoho Recruit equivalent recommendations. We support a one-week hypercare window for reconciliation issues raised by the recruiting team. We do not rebuild Screenloop workflows as Zoho Recruit workflows inside the migration scope; that is a separate engagement.
