Overview

What this migration involves

Moving from Sloneek to Recruit CRM is a directional migration: you are leaving a general HRIS platform that bundles ATS, payroll, attendance, and performance modules for a recruitment-agency-specific CRM that optimizes every object around candidate sourcing, pipeline management, and client relationships. Sloneek organizes ATS candidates inside its broader employee lifecycle schema; Recruit CRM separates Candidates, Contacts (clients), and Jobs as first-class objects with their own pipeline stages and engagement tracking. We export from Sloneek via their CSV utilities and manual export workarounds since their API is not publicly documented, then bulk-import into Recruit CRM using its documented REST endpoints with batch chunking. We preserve GDPR consent flags and custom field values throughout, and we flag the absence of equivalent Recruit CRM objects for Sloneek modules that have no counterpart in an agency recruitment tool, including payroll history, attendance records, and performance reviews.

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.

Sloneek

What's pushing teams away

  • Complex feature depth creates a steep learning curve for administrators new to HRIS systems, particularly around workflow configuration and module interconnections.
  • Document management restricted to PDF format only, frustrating teams that need to store Word documents, spreadsheets, or image-based records as employee files.
  • API is not publicly documented, blocking automation and integration use cases that require programmatic access to employee records or attendance data.
  • Some modules (ATS, advanced performance, payroll) require higher plan tiers, creating feature gaps for customers who expected full coverage at the base price.
  • Limited third-party integrations outside of Slack and JIRA, making it difficult to connect Sloneek data into broader analytics or finance tooling.

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 Sloneek objects map to Recruit CRM & ATS

Each row shows how a Sloneek 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.

Sloneek

ATS Candidate

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Candidate

1:1
Fully supported

Sloneek ATS Candidates map directly to Recruit CRM Candidates. We preserve the full candidate profile including name, contact details, current title, company, location, and any sourced resume. GDPR consent flags stored in Sloneek's ATS consent fields migrate to Recruit CRM's candidate_consent object with consent type and timestamp preserved. Pipeline stages from Sloneek (Applied, Screening, Interview, Offer, Hired, Rejected) map to equivalent Recruit CRM pipeline stages or custom stages that we configure before import.

Sloneek

Job Position

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Job

1:1
Fully supported

Sloneek job positions (ATS module) map to Recruit CRM Jobs. The job title, job description, requirements, salary range, and location fields migrate directly. We map Sloneek job status (Active, Paused, Closed, Draft) to Recruit CRM job status equivalents. Active job positions are imported first so that candidate-to-job associations can be resolved at import time.

Sloneek

Candidate Pipeline Stage

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Pipeline Stage

lossy
Fully supported

Sloneek's ATS pipeline stages (configurable per customer) map to Recruit CRM pipeline stages. We extract the customer's Sloneek pipeline configuration during scoping and create matching pipeline stages in Recruit CRM before any candidate import begins. Stage probability and stage ordering are preserved to maintain pipeline health reporting continuity.

Sloneek

Candidate Resume

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Candidate Resume (file attachment)

1:1
Fully supported

Candidate resumes uploaded to Sloneek ATS migrate as file attachments in Recruit CRM. We extract resumes in their original format (PDF, DOCX, DOC) and attach them to the corresponding Candidate record. Sloneek's PDF-only document restriction applies to its Core HR trust box, not to the ATS resume upload module, so we import resumes in their source format without pre-conversion.

Sloneek

Employee (Core HR)

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Contact or User

lossy
Fully supported

Sloneek employee profiles from Core HR (name, contact, job title, department, location) do not have a direct equivalent in Recruit CRM which is candidate and client-centric. If the migration scope includes internal recruiter profiles or hiring manager contacts, we map them to Recruit CRM Users or Contacts depending on whether they are system users or client-side stakeholders. Core HR employee data that is purely operational (payroll, benefits, manager hierarchy) is excluded as it has no Recruit CRM counterpart.

Sloneek

Company (Core HR)

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Client (in Recruit CRM)

1:1
Fully supported

Sloneek Companies from Core HR map to Recruit CRM Clients when the company is a client of the recruitment agency. The company name, address, website, and industry fields migrate directly. If the Sloneek company is an employer brand or a candidate's current employer rather than a recruiting client, it may be stored as a candidate attribute or tagged note rather than a top-level Client record.

Sloneek

Document (Trust Box)

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

File Attachment

1:1
Fully supported

Sloneek trust box documents (employment contracts, compliance records, certifications) migrate as file attachments to the relevant Candidate or Contact record in Recruit CRM. Non-PDF documents stored in Sloneek must be pre-converted because Recruit CRM accepts multiple formats while the source Sloneek export may contain mixed-format files. We flag non-PDF documents before migration and alert the customer to pre-conversion requirements.

Sloneek

Absence Record

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Not applicable

1:1
Fully supported

Sloneek absence records (time-off requests, accrual balances, approval statuses) have no equivalent object in Recruit CRM, which is an agency recruitment tool focused on candidates and placements rather than internal HR operations. We exclude absence data from the migration scope and document it in the handoff report so the customer's HR team can maintain absence records in a separate HR system post-migration.

Sloneek

Performance Review

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Not applicable

1:1
Fully supported

Sloneek performance reviews, 360-degree feedback records, goals, and review cycles have no counterpart in Recruit CRM. These objects are excluded from the migration scope. If the customer has used Sloneek's ATS for performance-linked candidate assessments, those scoring records can be preserved as custom fields on the Candidate object rather than as standard performance review objects.

Sloneek

Compensation History

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Not applicable

1:1
Mapping required

Sloneek payroll module salary, bonus, deduction, and compensation history records have no equivalent in Recruit CRM, which does not manage payroll or employee compensation. We exclude payroll data from the migration scope and note that any compensation data linked to placed candidates should be captured as candidate placement notes or a custom field rather than standard Recruit CRM objects.

Sloneek

Custom Field (ATS Candidate)

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Custom Field (Candidate)

1:1
Fully supported

Sloneek custom fields on ATS Candidates migrate to Recruit CRM custom fields on the Candidate object. We discover the full custom field schema during scoping, map each field to its Recruit CRM equivalent with matching field type (text, number, date, picklist, multi-select, checkbox), and create the destination fields before migration begins. Custom field values transfer as typed values without reformatting.

Sloneek

Attendance Record

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Not applicable

1:1
Fully supported

Sloneek attendance records are excluded from migration to Recruit CRM. Recruit CRM does not have an attendance or time-tracking module. Sloneek's parallel Attendance 2.0 schema migration (old and new attendance running simultaneously) is a source-side concern we flag during scoping but does not affect the destination object model.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Sloneek API is undocumented; extraction requires CSV workarounds

    Sloneek does not publish API documentation or a public developer portal. We cannot make authenticated API calls to pull ATS candidates, job positions, or client records automatically. We rely on Sloneek's built-in CSV export utilities and manual data dumps for migration scoping. Before migration, we confirm with the customer which modules are active (ATS, Core HR, payroll), request CSV export access through Sloneek's support channel, and account for 3-7 business days of pre-migration export preparation in the project timeline. This work-around extraction approach also means we cannot verify record-level changes via API polling; a final delta export at cutover is required to capture any records modified between initial export and go-live.

  • Core HR and payroll objects have no Recruit CRM counterpart

    Recruit CRM is a recruitment agency tool, not a general HRIS. Sloneek employee profiles, payroll history, compensation records, absence balances, attendance records, and performance reviews have no equivalent objects in Recruit CRM. We explicitly exclude these objects from the migration scope and document them in the handoff report. Customers who need to preserve this data for HR compliance or audit purposes must maintain it in Sloneek, a separate HRIS, or export it as an archived record set.

  • Non-PDF documents from Sloneek require pre-conversion

    Sloneek's trust box accepts PDF documents only. Any employee documents, contracts, or compliance records exported from Sloneek in Word, Excel, or image formats must be converted to PDF before they can be attached to candidate or contact records in Recruit CRM, which does accept multiple file formats. We flag every non-PDF document in the source export before migration and alert the customer to pre-conversion requirements. Documents that cannot be converted before migration are noted in the handoff report for manual post-migration upload.

  • Recruit CRM calendar sync does not reflect deleted meetings

    Recruit CRM does not synchronize deleted calendar events bidirectionally with Google Calendar. A recruiter who deletes a meeting in Recruit CRM will still see that event persist in Google Calendar, and vice versa. We flag this limitation during migration planning and recommend that customers establish a clear internal process for calendar cleanup post-migration to avoid duplicate or stale meeting entries. This is a known Recruit CRM limitation documented in their community forums.

  • Plan-tier feature gating in Sloneek may affect export scope

    Sloneek's ATS, advanced performance, and payroll modules are gated behind higher plan tiers. A customer on a lower tier may believe they have access to these modules when migration scope is set, but the data does not exist in the platform. We verify module availability during the discovery call and exclude non-existent data objects from the migration contract upfront. This prevents mid-project scope disputes when a module that appeared in scope turns out to be locked on the customer's current plan.

Migration approach

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

  1. Discovery and module verification

    We audit the customer's Sloneek tenant across active modules (ATS, Core HR, payroll, performance), candidate record volume, job position count, and custom field schemas. We verify which plan tier the customer is on and confirm which modules contain data versus which are empty or locked. We also confirm the Recruit CRM tenant setup: plan tier, existing pipelines, custom fields, and user roles. The discovery output is a written migration scope document listing every object in scope, every object excluded, and the estimated record counts per object.

  2. Export preparation and GDPR consent audit

    Since Sloneek has no documented API, we work with the customer to generate CSV exports from Sloneek's built-in export utilities for ATS candidates, job positions, candidate resumes, and any client contacts in Core HR. We audit GDPR consent fields on candidate records (consent type, consent date, consent source) and preserve them as a separate consent data set to attach to candidate records in Recruit CRM. Non-PDF documents are flagged for pre-conversion. This step typically requires 3-7 business days of customer-led export work supported by Sloneek's support channel.

  3. Recruit CRM schema preparation

    We configure the destination Recruit CRM schema before any data import begins. This includes creating custom fields on Candidate and Job objects to match Sloneek's custom field schema, configuring pipeline stages to match Sloneek's ATS pipeline, and setting up user roles for any internal recruiter or hiring manager profiles being migrated. We create the GDPR consent fields on Candidate records to receive the preserved consent data. Schema changes are validated in Recruit CRM's sandbox or test environment before production deployment.

  4. Candidate and job bulk import

    We import job positions first so that candidate-to-job associations can be resolved during candidate import. Candidates are imported in batches using Recruit CRM's bulk import API with batch chunking and rate-limit handling. Each batch is validated for required field presence (candidate name, email, pipeline stage) before the next batch begins. GDPR consent flags are attached to each Candidate record as structured consent objects. Resume files are imported as attachments linked to the corresponding Candidate record after the candidate base record is created.

  5. Client and contact import

    If the migration scope includes client contacts (companies from Sloneek Core HR that are recruiting clients), we import Client records into Recruit CRM with company name, address, industry, and website preserved. Any candidate-to-client associations are resolved at import time using the candidate's current or most recent employer as the linking field.

  6. Cutover, validation, and handoff documentation

    We freeze Sloneek writes during cutover, run a final delta export of any records modified since initial export, and import the delta into Recruit CRM. We validate record counts (candidates in, jobs in, clients in), spot-check 25-50 records against the source data, and confirm that resume attachments are accessible. We deliver a written inventory of every excluded Sloneek object (payroll, attendance, performance reviews, absences) with recommended preservation strategy. We do not rebuild Sloneek workflows or automations in Recruit CRM; these are documented as a separate rebuild task for the customer's admin team.

Source

Strengths

  • All-in-one platform covers the full employee lifecycle from recruitment to offboarding without requiring separate vendor products.
  • Strong EU/GDPR compliance with automated consent management, retention periods, and data anonymization features baked into the ATS and core HR modules.
  • Competitive pricing starting at €6 per user per month, positioning it between free-tier tools and enterprise HRIS platforms.
  • Sloneek Intelligence AI assistant provides a conversational interface across employee data, enabling bulk operations without manual UI work.

Most migrations land between two and four weeks for agencies with under 5,000 candidate records and 500 job positions with no complex custom field dependencies. Migrations with larger historical candidate pools (over 20,000 records), multiple active pipelines, or parallel client contact imports move to four to eight weeks because of CSV export preparation time, Recruit CRM schema design, and bulk import batch validation. The Sloneek undocumented API adds 3-7 days of pre-migration export work that runs concurrently with planning but extends the overall timeline before any data loads into Recruit CRM.
