Migrate from Talent Clue to Zoho Recruit

Talent Clue Job postings (title, description, department, location, publishing status) map directly to Zoho Recruit Job Opening records. Active and archived vacancies export from Talent Clue's dashboard and load into Zoho Recruit's Job Openings module. We preserve the publishing status as a custom Zoho field so the customer's team can decide which archived roles to reactivate after migration.

Talent Clue Candidate records map to Zoho Recruit Candidates with contact details, source channel, and stage preserved. The Last Name field is mandatory in Zoho Recruit; any Talent Clue candidate without a surname value receives 'not provided' as the Last Name during transform. Custom properties on the candidate profile migrate to Zoho Recruit custom fields or notes depending on field type. Email address serves as the dedupe key during import.

Each Talent Clue Application links a Candidate to a Job and records the submission date and pipeline stage. Zoho Recruit represents this as a Candidate record associated with a Job Opening via the candidate-job relationship rather than a separate Application object. Stage history migrates as a structured note log or as a custom multi-select field preserving the stage sequence and timestamps.

Talent Clue's Talent Pool is a persistent candidate database independent of any vacancy. Zoho Recruit does not have a separate Talent Pool module; pool records migrate as Candidate records tagged with a custom 'Talent Pool' field or a Zoho Recruit tag. This preserves the reusable candidate ecosystem and allows the customer's team to search across pool records in Zoho Recruit's candidate database.

Talent Clue recruiter accounts map to Zoho Recruit Users by email match. If a recruiter account in Talent Clue has no corresponding Zoho Recruit user, we flag it in the reconciliation report. Role and permission structures differ between platforms; we document the permission mapping and the customer's Zoho admin configures roles post-migration.

Talent Clue's configurable pipeline stages (per vacancy or globally) translate to Zoho Recruit's candidate pipeline stages. We extract the stage labels and sequence during discovery, then configure matching stage values in Zoho Recruit's candidate pipeline before the candidate migration phase. Custom stage names are recreated as Zoho Recruit stage labels; if the count exceeds Zoho's default pipeline stage slots, we configure additional pipelines.

Talent Clue evaluation forms capture structured ratings and free-text feedback against candidates. We export the rating values and notes as structured data. Zoho Recruit handles assessments via pre-screening forms and custom fields. We map structured ratings to Zoho Recruit custom number or picklist fields and preserve the full evaluator notes as Zoho Recruit notes attached to the candidate record.

Interview records include scheduled time, interviewer assignment, and outcome. Zoho Recruit has a native Interview module. We export Talent Clue scheduling data and outcome flags and load them into Zoho Recruit's Interview records linked to the candidate and job opening. If the interviewer is a recruiter in Talent Clue, we resolve the email match to the corresponding Zoho Recruit User.

Candidate-level notes from Talent Clue migrate as Zoho Recruit Notes attached to the candidate record. We preserve the original author and timestamp. If notes contain embedded formatting, we convert them to plain text with any structured data (scores, rankings) extracted into custom fields.

File attachments on candidate profiles (resumes, portfolio files, cover letters) are downloaded from Talent Clue and re-uploaded to the corresponding Zoho Recruit candidate record as attachments. Large attachment volumes may require chunked download and upload cycles. We validate file integrity (checksum) after re-upload to confirm no data loss.

Talent Clue custom fields on candidate and application objects require field-level mapping during discovery. We request the complete custom field schema from the customer (field names, types, and active status) and create matching custom fields in Zoho Recruit before migration. Field types are mapped by closest Zoho Recruit equivalent: text fields to single-line text, multi-select to multi-select picklist, date fields to date fields.

Talent Clue career page branding assets and job ad templates export as files with metadata. Zoho Recruit's career site builder does not directly receive these assets; we deliver the exported files to the customer as a downloadable package with a field mapping document noting which assets correspond to which career site sections, for manual re-upload or integration into the Zoho Recruit career page builder.
