Migrate from Sloneek to Zoho Recruit

Sloneek's ATS Candidate records map directly to Zoho Recruit Candidate. The mapping preserves first name, last name, email address, phone, location, current position, and source channel. GDPR consent flags from Sloneek transfer to a custom field consent_gdpr__c on the Zoho Recruit Candidate to maintain regulatory compliance during the transition. Candidates without a Last Name value in Sloneek receive 'not provided' as a placeholder per Zoho Recruit's mandatory-field requirement. Resume files attached to Sloneek candidate records transfer as file attachments on the Zoho Recruit Candidate.

Sloneek job positions map to Zoho Recruit Job Opening records. The position title, department assignment, job description, employment type (full-time, part-time, contract), and location fields transfer directly. Active versus closed status in Sloneek maps to Zoho Recruit's Opening Status field. Job Openings must be present before candidate applications are imported so that the Candidates-to-Job Opening lookup relationship is satisfied at migration time.

Sloneek's recruitment pipeline stages (application received, screening, interview, assessment, offer, hired, rejected) map to Zoho Recruit's Hiring Pipeline stages. We configure the pipeline stages in Zoho Recruit's Setup > Recruitment > Hiring Pipelines before migration begins, matching the stage names and reordering to match Sloneek's existing workflow. Stage probability percentages transfer as pipeline-level configuration if Sloneek stores them.

Interview records in Sloneek (interviewer name, date and time, interview type, feedback, rating, outcome) map to Zoho Recruit Interview records linked to the corresponding Candidate and Job Opening. Interviewer assignment resolves by matching the Sloneek interviewer email to a Zoho Recruit User record. Feedback and scoring fields map to Zoho Recruit's Interview Feedback form fields or custom fields if the scoring schema is non-standard.

Notes attached to Sloneek candidate records migrate to Zoho Recruit Note records linked to the corresponding Candidate via ContentDocumentLink. Rich text formatting in Sloneek notes is preserved where possible; complex embedded objects or non-text note content is flagged for manual review post-migration. Note timestamps preserve the original creation date for audit and reporting continuity.

Tasks associated with Sloneek candidate records (scheduling reminders, follow-up actions, screening tasks) map to Zoho Recruit Task records linked to the Candidate. Task status, priority, due date, and assigned user transfer directly. Task assignments resolve by matching the Sloneek user email to a Zoho Recruit User record. Recurring tasks in Sloneek migrate as individual Task records with the recurrence pattern documented for manual rebuild in Zoho Recruit if needed.

File attachments on Sloneek candidate records (resumes, cover letters, portfolios, certifications) transfer to Zoho Recruit Attachments on the corresponding Candidate record. PDF files migrate without transformation. Non-PDF files (Word documents, spreadsheets, images) are flagged during the export audit and the customer is advised to convert these before migration or upload manually post-migration, because Sloneek restricts uploads to PDF format, meaning non-PDF files in Sloneek were already converted or are absent.

Sloneek's custom fields on Candidate records (assessment scores, source detail, salary expectation, notice period, referral source) map to Zoho Recruit custom fields of equivalent type (picklist, text, number, date, lookup). Custom fields are only available in Zoho Recruit Standard ($25/recruiter/month) and above; they are not available in the Free tier. We verify the customer's Zoho Recruit edition during scoping and exclude custom field migration from the contract if the destination is on a Free plan. Lookup fields in Zoho Recruit Standard are also unavailable, so lookup-type custom fields from Sloneek map to picklist or multi-select picklist as a fallback.

For staffing agency use cases where Sloneek tracks clients alongside candidates, Sloneek Client records map to Zoho Recruit Client. Client name, contact information, industry, and address fields transfer directly. The Client-Candidate relationship (submissions, placements) is preserved as Zoho Recruit Job Submission records linked to both Client and Candidate.

Sloneek HR contact records (hiring managers, team leads, department heads) map to Zoho Recruit Contacts where they exist in the ATS module rather than Core HR. The mapping preserves name, email, phone, title, and department. Contacts without a Last Name value are assigned 'not provided' per Zoho Recruit's mandatory-field requirement. Contacts that are purely Core HR employee records (not involved in the recruitment process) are excluded from the ATS migration scope.

Sloneek departments and cost centers used within the ATS module map to Zoho Recruit Departments via Setup > Recruitment > Departments. The org chart hierarchy is reconstructed as a flat department list in Zoho Recruit because Zoho Recruit's ATS does not natively support multi-level org chart visualization. For customers who need org structure in Zoho beyond ATS, we recommend a separate Zoho People or Zoho CRM implementation as a parallel scope.

Sloneek's candidate sourcing channels (direct application, referral, LinkedIn, job board, agency) map to Zoho Recruit's Candidate Source picklist values. Custom source channels in Sloneek are created as new picklist values in Zoho Recruit during the pre-migration schema configuration step. Source tracking is preserved on the Candidate record for pipeline analytics and reporting continuity.
