Overview

What this migration involves

This migration runs from an HRMS into a recruitment ATS, not between like platforms. Superworks stores employee records with payroll, attendance, leave, loan, and performance data. Recruit CRM uses a Candidate data model built for client relationships, job requisitions, and pipeline management. We map the Superworks Employee core fields (name, email, department, hire date) to Recruit CRM Candidate, and transfer the org tree to Recruit CRM Organization or Team. Every Superworks-specific object — payroll components, leave balances, loan EMI records, attendance logs, performance reviews — has no equivalent target in Recruit CRM and is documented as excluded. The absence of a documented Superworks REST API forces all source extraction through the UI, which increases scoping time and limits automation compared to migrations from API-first platforms.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

Superworks

What's pushing teams away

  • Payroll calculation errors are the most cited churn driver — incorrect salary computations and broken loan EMI tracking force repeated manual corrections and support escalations.
  • Frequent system issues during payroll processing mean HR teams cannot complete runs without vendor intervention, defeating the time-savings promise of automation.
  • Slow application loading and limited feature depth frustrate customers as headcount grows beyond what the platform handles well.
  • Chat application performance issues and missing features in project and task management prompt customers to seek alternatives for non-HRMS workflows.
  • Setup and customization complexity, especially for payroll components and salary structures, creates a high-friction onboarding experience that some customers abandon.

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 Superworks objects map to Recruit CRM & ATS

Each row shows how a Superworks 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.

Superworks

Employee

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Candidate

1:1
Fully supported

Superworks Employee records map to Recruit CRM Candidate records. We extract core fields (first name, last name, email, phone, department, job title, hire date, employment status) and write them to the corresponding Candidate fields. Superworks-specific HRMS fields — payroll components, leave balances, loan EMI amounts, attendance logs, performance review ratings — have no equivalent in Recruit CRM's candidate data model and are excluded from migration. We preserve the original Superworks Employee ID in a custom field sw_employee_id__c on the Candidate record for audit and reconciliation.

Superworks

Salary Structure

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Custom Fields (on Candidate)

lossy
Fully supported

Superworks custom payroll components (earnings, deductions, reimbursements, tax deductions) have no standard target in Recruit CRM's candidate schema. We export the full salary structure definition from Superworks as a structured JSON schema document during scoping, then work with the customer's admin to decide which components to store as custom fields on the Candidate object or as part of a custom Salary Info section. Compensation fields that Recruit CRM does not natively support require manual field creation in Recruit CRM settings before migration writes begin.

Superworks

Loan Accounts

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Custom Fields (on Candidate)

lossy
Fully supported

Superworks loan records (principal, interest rate, tenure, EMI schedule) can be written to custom fields on the Candidate record in Recruit CRM if the customer chooses to retain this data. We export raw loan parameters — principal amount, annual interest rate, start date, loan tenure in months — and write them to custom number and date fields. We do not import Superworks-computed EMI totals because multiple G2 reviewers report that Superworks EMI calculations are frequently incorrect. We recommend recalculating EMI schedules from the raw parameters after migration rather than importing Superworks-calculated totals.

Superworks

Departments

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Organizations / Teams

1:1
Fully supported

Superworks hierarchical org structure (Company > Departments > Sub-departments) with parent-child relationships maps to Recruit CRM Organizations and Teams. We extract the full department tree, resolve the parent references, and write Organization records with the parent-org relationship preserved. Superworks department IDs are stored in sw_department_id__c on the Recruit CRM Organization for reconciliation.

Superworks

Leave Balances

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Excluded

1:1
Fully supported

Leave balance, accrual, and utilization data in Superworks has no equivalent target object in Recruit CRM. The Recruit CRM candidate data model does not include leave entitlement or accrual tracking. We document leave balance snapshot data as a CSV export for the customer's HR admin to retain outside of Recruit CRM. Leave transactions that occur between the export date and go-live create a balance delta that requires manual reconciliation post-migration.

Superworks

Attendance Logs

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Excluded

1:1
Fully supported

Daily attendance records (clock-in, clock-out, overtime, status) in Superworks have no equivalent in Recruit CRM's ATS data model. Recruit CRM is a recruitment system, not a time and attendance platform. Attendance logs are documented as excluded from migration scope and are not written to any Recruit CRM object.

Superworks

Performance Reviews

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Excluded

1:1
Fully supported

Superworks performance review cycles, rating scores, objectives, and reviewer comments have no equivalent in Recruit CRM. Recruit CRM does not include an employee evaluation or performance review module. We document performance review data as excluded and recommend the customer retain this as a separate HR archive.

Superworks

Documents and Attachments

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Excluded

1:1
Not supported

Superworks employee documents (offer letters, contracts, ID proofs) cannot be bulk exported. The platform exposes no API endpoint for programmatic file retrieval, and the UI does not provide a batch download mechanism. Each document must be accessed individually through the Superworks UI. We log all document attachment URLs in a separate file and advise the customer to perform a parallel manual file export prior to or after migration. Candidate document attachments in Recruit CRM are managed separately after go-live.

Superworks

Custom Fields

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Custom Fields

lossy
Mapping required

Superworks tenant-specific custom fields on the Employee object (field names, data types, picklist values) vary by organization. We discover the live custom field schema during scoping via the settings export, build a field-mapping matrix against Recruit CRM custom field types, and create matching custom fields on the Candidate object before migration writes begin. Fields with no equivalent in Recruit CRM are flagged for the admin to either drop or reclassify as notes.

Superworks

Time Entries

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Excluded

1:1
Mapping required

Where Superworks is used for project time tracking, billable and non-billable time entries are linked to employees. Recruit CRM is a recruitment ATS and does not include a project time-tracking module. Time entry data is documented as excluded. The customer retains time entry data in the Superworks export if required for billing or payroll purposes.

Superworks

N/A (Recruit CRM native)

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Client Contacts

lossy
Fully supported

Recruit CRM Client Contacts represent recruitment agency client stakeholders (hiring managers, procurement contacts) with no equivalent in Superworks HRMS. This object is not migrated from Superworks. The customer's admin creates Client Contacts in Recruit CRM post-migration as part of the new-system setup.

Superworks

N/A (Recruit CRM native)

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Clients

lossy
Fully supported

Recruit CRM Client records represent the recruitment agency's client companies with no equivalent in Superworks. This object is not migrated from Superworks. The customer's admin creates Client records in Recruit CRM post-migration.

Superworks

N/A (Recruit CRM native)

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Jobs

lossy
Fully supported

Recruit CRM Job records represent job requisitions and vacancy postings with no equivalent in Superworks HRMS. This object is not migrated from Superworks. Job records are created in Recruit CRM by the customer's recruitment team post-migration.

Superworks

N/A (Recruit CRM native)

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Pipeline / Custom Fields

lossy
Fully supported

Recruit CRM pipeline stages, candidate status values, and workflow automation rules are not migrated from Superworks because Superworks does not use a recruitment pipeline model. The customer's admin configures pipeline stages, candidate status picklists, and any recruitment-specific workflows in Recruit CRM post-migration.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Superworks lacks a public REST API for automated extraction

    Superworks does not publish a documented REST API for programmatic data access. All exports must be performed through the web UI, typically as CSV downloads or screen-scraped data during a guided session with FlitStack AI in the customer's Superworks account. This limits our ability to automate bulk exports, increases the risk of data inconsistencies in large datasets, and makes it difficult to capture linked records in a reliable sequence. We sequence the extraction by dependency order (org structure first, then employees, then related objects) and document every extraction step for audit.

  • Superworks is an HRMS; Recruit CRM is a recruitment ATS — significant schema mismatch

    Superworks and Recruit CRM serve fundamentally different business functions. Superworks stores employee records with payroll, leave, loan, attendance, and performance data tied to the employer-employee relationship. Recruit CRM stores candidate records tied to the recruitment agency's client relationships, job requisitions, and placement pipeline. We map only Superworks Employee core fields (name, email, department, hire date) to Recruit CRM Candidate. Every Superworks-specific field — payroll components, leave balances, loan EMI records, attendance logs, performance reviews — has no equivalent in Recruit CRM and is documented as excluded from migration scope.

  • Loan EMI calculations in Superworks are unreliable — raw parameters must be exported

    Multiple G2 reviewers report that Superworks generates incorrect loan EMI amounts. If we export the computed balance and interest fields as-is, the destination system inherits the same incorrect figures. We flag this during migration scoping: we export raw loan principal, interest rate, start date, and tenure terms and recommend the destination recalculate EMI schedules from source parameters rather than importing Superworks-computed totals. This adds a manual recalculation step for the customer post-migration.

  • Performance review records have no target in Recruit CRM

    Superworks performance review cycles, ratings, and reviewer comments cannot be migrated to Recruit CRM because Recruit CRM does not include an employee evaluation or performance review module. The candidate data model does not support performance ratings, review cycle dates, or reviewer attribution. We document performance review data in a structured export for the customer's HR admin to retain outside of Recruit CRM.

  • Document attachments cannot be bulk exported from Superworks

    Superworks employee documents (offer letters, contracts, ID proofs) are stored as individual file attachments with no bulk download or API retrieval mechanism. Each file must be accessed manually through the UI. We log all document attachment URLs in a separate file and advise the customer to perform a parallel manual file export prior to the record migration. Candidate document attachments in Recruit CRM are managed separately after go-live.

Migration approach

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

  1. Discovery and scoping session

    We conduct a discovery session with the customer's Superworks admin to audit the live schema: employee record fields, custom payroll components, loan account structure, leave type enumerations, org tree depth, and any active custom fields. We also identify the target Recruit CRM setup (existing account or new provisioning) and the candidate data model the customer plans to use. The output is a written migration scope document listing every object, the records in scope, and the objects excluded because Recruit CRM has no equivalent target.

  2. Guided UI extraction from Superworks

    We work directly in the customer's Superworks account during a guided session to extract each object in dependency order: org structure first, then employee core records, then salary structure definitions, loan account parameters, leave balance snapshots, and custom field schema. Each extraction produces a structured CSV or JSON file. We document the extraction sequence and any manual steps required because Superworks provides no batch export API. The customer retains Superworks login access throughout for verification.

  3. Data transformation and field mapping

    We apply the field-mapping matrix to transform Superworks records into Recruit CRM Candidate format. Employee core fields map to Candidate. Org structure maps to Organizations with parent references resolved. Salary structure components and loan parameters are written to custom fields on Candidate if the customer opts in. Leave balances, attendance logs, performance reviews, and time entries are excluded and documented in the reconciliation report. We compute the Employee-to-Candidate transformation for every record and apply any data-type conversions (date formats, phone number normalization, picklist standardization).

  4. Recruit CRM schema preparation

    We create any required custom fields on the Recruit CRM Candidate object to host Superworks salary structure components and loan parameters. We configure the Organizations and Teams structure to receive the Superworks department hierarchy. We do not create pipeline stages, candidate status values, or recruitment workflows — these are configured by the customer's admin post-migration as part of Recruit CRM setup.

  5. Validation and reconciliation

    We validate the transformed records against Recruit CRM field requirements (required fields, picklist values, field length limits) before any write. We run a reconciliation report comparing source record counts to destination record counts per object. Any records rejected by Recruit CRM validation are corrected and re-imported. We flag Superworks-specific records that could not be migrated (leave balances, attendance, performance reviews, documents) in the final reconciliation report for the customer's HR admin.

  6. Cutover and excluded-data handoff

    We freeze writes in Superworks during the cutover window, perform a final delta scan for any records modified after the last extraction, and load the complete candidate dataset into Recruit CRM. We deliver the excluded-data package: a structured export of leave balance snapshots, attendance logs, performance review records, and the document attachment URL log. We do not migrate workflows, automations, or payroll configurations as these have no equivalent in Recruit CRM. We support a brief hypercare window for reconciliation issues raised in the first five business days after go-live.

Most migrations complete in four to six weeks. The extraction phase from Superworks takes three to five weeks depending on record volume and the customer's availability for guided UI sessions, since Superworks provides no automated export mechanism. The Recruit CRM load and validation phase adds one to two weeks. Migrations above 5,000 employee records or with complex custom salary structures extend to six to ten weeks because the extraction and mapping work scales with data complexity.
