Overview

What this migration involves

Migrating from Talent Connects to Recruit CRM is an ATS-to-ATS-plus-CRM move that requires a structured CSV-based export workflow because Talent Connects has no documented public API. We script UI-based exports in controlled batches, validate record completeness against the source database, and import into Recruit CRM using its REST API. Recruit CRM's model adds Client Contacts, Placements, and a visual Kanban pipeline that is more granular than Talent Connects' pipeline-by-job structure. We map Candidate records with full application history, Job postings with status and stage configuration, and Interview Schedules as Tasks and Events. Talent Pool records (Enterprise-only on Talent Connects) migrate as Candidate records with a sourcing-tag custom field; the passive-sourcing workflow itself does not transfer and requires rebuilding in Recruit CRM. Email sequences, automations, and bulk email templates do not migrate; we deliver a written inventory for your admin to rebuild in Recruit CRM's automation builder. Analytics dashboards are not migratable from Talent Connects and should be exported as screenshots before migration day.

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.

Talent Connects

What's pushing teams away

  • Growth tier caps active jobs at 10 — high-volume hirers outgrow the entry tier quickly and need to negotiate Enterprise pricing.
  • Single-role access on Growth tier means small teams cannot enforce recruiter/hiring-manager separation without upgrading to Enterprise.
  • Public API and developer documentation are not prominently surfaced — programmatic integration with HRIS, BI or downstream tools requires direct engagement with Talent Connects support.
  • Career-page templates, branding settings and analytics dashboards do not export as structured data, creating manual rebuild work when migrating away.
  • Talent Pool (passive sourcing) is Enterprise-only — small teams that want to nurture passive candidates have to pay the higher tier.

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 Talent Connects objects map to Recruit CRM & ATS

Each row shows how a Talent Connects 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.

Talent Connects

Candidate

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Candidate

1:1
Fully supported

Talent Connects Candidates map directly to Recruit CRM Candidates. Standard fields (name, email, phone, resume URL, application timestamp) migrate as typed fields. Application status history (Applied, Screening, Interview, Offer, Hired, Rejected) maps to Recruit CRM's Candidate stage values. Resume files are imported as attachments linked to the Candidate record. We resolve any duplicate candidates by email dedupe before insert. Note: Recruit CRM's Candidate object does not have a native Talent Pool equivalent, so passive-sourced candidates require a custom sourcing attribute.

Talent Connects

Job

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Job / Vacancy

1:1
Fully supported

Talent Connects Jobs map to Recruit CRM Jobs with title, description, status (Open, Closed, On Hold), and pipeline stage configuration. The job's assigned pipeline or stage in Talent Connects maps to Recruit CRM's Pipeline and corresponding Kanban stage. Active versus archived status is preserved. Talent Connects Growth tier's 10-job limit is flagged during scoping — if the source account exceeds 10 active jobs, a plan upgrade or job archival is required before migration.

Talent Connects

Application

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Application / Submission

1:1
Fully supported

Talent Connects' application record (Candidate applied to a Job) maps to Recruit CRM's Application or submission record, preserving the link between Candidate and Job. Application date, source channel, and rejection reason (if applicable) transfer. The application status in Talent Connects (Applied, Shortlisted, Interview Scheduled, Offer Extended, etc.) maps to Recruit CRM's submission stage values.

Talent Connects

Interview Schedule

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Task + Event

1:1
Fully supported

Talent Connects interview records (date, time, attendees, interview type, outcome notes) map to Recruit CRM Task and Event records linked to the Candidate and Job. Calendar sync settings do not transfer — these require reconfiguration in Recruit CRM's calendar integration (Google Calendar or Outlook). Video interview links from Talent Connects' built-in video platform do not migrate; Recruit CRM does not have a native video interview feature, so the admin should re-establish video links post-migration.

Talent Connects

Talent Pool (Enterprise)

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Candidate with custom sourcing tag

lossy
Mapping required

Talent Connects' Talent Pool feature (passive candidate sourcing separate from active applications) exists only on the Enterprise tier at $399/month and has no direct Recruit CRM equivalent. We migrate Talent Pool records as Candidate records with a custom sourcing-tag field set to 'Talent Pool (Imported)' to preserve the sourcing context. The passive-sourcing workflow, talent community settings, and engagement history specific to Talent Pool do not transfer and require rebuilding in Recruit CRM's candidate tagging and list-building features.

Talent Connects

User Account

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

User

1:1
Fully supported

Talent Connects User records (name, email, role, active/inactive status) map to Recruit CRM Users. Role assignment migrates as a basic role label. Talent Connects Enterprise multi-level permission configurations (department hierarchies, granular access control) do not export as structured data and cannot migrate. Recruit CRM's Teams and Custom Roles feature (Business and Enterprise tiers) must be configured post-migration, with permission granularity reviewed by the customer's admin. Active user count should be confirmed before migration because Recruit CRM is per-user priced.

Talent Connects

Career Page

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Career Page (rebuild required)

1:1
Fully supported

Talent Connects generates hosted career pages from Job data. The career page template, branding settings, and URL structure do not export as structured data. We flag Career Page configuration as a discrete rebuild item — the candidate list and job data populating the page transfer as normal Job records in Recruit CRM, but the page template and branding require manual reconfiguration in Recruit CRM's career page builder. The admin should export a screenshot of the current career page before migration day.

Talent Connects

Email Activity / Mass Emailing

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Activity / Note

1:1
Fully supported

Talent Connects bulk email campaigns and engagement history are stored as campaign records with send history and open/click tracking. These do not have a direct equivalent in Recruit CRM's data model. We map email campaign activity to Candidate-level Activity or Note records capturing the send date and subject as text, with open/click data flagged as untransferred. Recruit CRM's automated email sequencing features (Business and Enterprise tiers) must be rebuilt post-migration. Email templates from Talent Connects are not exported as structured data and do not migrate.

Talent Connects

Company / Client

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Company (Client)

1:1
Fully supported

If Talent Connects contains Company or Client records (particularly from Enterprise tier usage), these map to Recruit CRM's Client/Company object. Company name, contact name, email, phone, website, and address fields migrate directly. Recruit CRM supports custom fields on Client records for additional attributes. This object is optional in Talent Connects but standard in Recruit CRM, so its presence depends on whether the source account used this object.

Talent Connects

AI-Assistant scores

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Candidate custom field

lossy
Fully supported

Talent Connects' optional AI-Assistant add-on ($49/month) generates AI-produced candidate ranking scores and job description suggestions. These scores are computed at query time and do not persist as structured fields in the database. We cannot migrate AI scores. We create a custom field ai_candidate_score_source on the Candidate record labeled 'AI-Assisted Ranking (Source: Talent Connects)' as a placeholder for manual score entry if the customer wishes to preserve comparative rankings. AI-generated job description suggestions are noted as not migratable.

Pair-specific challenges

  • No API means migration runs on CSV exports only

    Talent Connects has no documented public REST API. All data egress requires CSV or JSON exports from the web UI, which means migration throughput is constrained by UI export limits and file sizes. We script UI-based exports in controlled batches, validate completeness against record counts before mapping begins, and handle missing fields through supplementary exports. This adds time and manual coordination to scoping that API-based migrations do not require. Recruit CRM's API (Business and Enterprise tiers) receives the imported data efficiently, but the egress side remains the binding constraint throughout the engagement.

  • Talent Pool workflow has no equivalent in Recruit CRM

    The Talent Pool passive-sourcing feature is Enterprise-only on Talent Connects and is not a transferable data object — it is a workflow configuration. We migrate Talent Pool candidate records as tagged Candidates, but the passive-sourcing pipeline, talent community segmentation, and engagement triggers within Talent Pool do not replicate. Recruit CRM handles passive candidate management through Candidate lists and tags rather than a dedicated Talent Pool module. The customer should plan to rebuild passive-sourcing segmentation in Recruit CRM's list-builder and configure any automated nurture sequences as Recruit CRM email sequences post-migration.

  • Email sequences and automations do not migrate

    Talent Connects' bulk emailing, automated task triggers, and pipeline-based workflow automations are stored as configuration records that do not export. Recruit CRM's automated email sequencing and workflow automation are built using a different data model and UI. We deliver a written inventory of every active automation in Talent Connects (with trigger, conditions, and actions) for the customer's admin to rebuild in Recruit CRM's automation builder. Sequences built in Talent Connects' email tool do not transfer to Recruit CRM's sequence feature. This is a known limitation of ATS-to-ATS migration across platforms with different automation engines.

  • Video interview links and calendar sync do not transfer

    Talent Connects embeds a built-in live video interview platform per job. The video meeting links, calendar sync settings, and interview-specific calendar events do not export as structured data. We map interview records (date, attendees, outcome notes) as Activity records, but the video link URL and any recurring calendar sync configuration require re-establishment in Recruit CRM. Recruit CRM does not have a native video interview feature, so teams using Talent Connects' built-in video platform will need to integrate a third-party video tool (Zoom, Google Meet, or Calendly) post-migration.

  • Analytics and reporting data are not migratable

    Talent Connects' analytics dashboards (funnel metrics, time-to-hire, source performance, pipeline velocity) are rendered from internal data stores and are not exported as raw datasets. We do not attempt to migrate analytics snapshots. If historical reporting must be preserved, the customer should export screenshots of key dashboards before migration day. Recruit CRM provides its own analytics and reporting module with candidate funnel, placement, and client reporting. The admin should plan to rebuild any custom reports that are specific to Talent Connects' metric definitions in Recruit CRM's report builder post-migration.

Migration approach

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

  1. Export planning and scoping

    We conduct a scoping call to enumerate every object present in the Talent Connects account: Candidate volume, Job posting count, Application history, Interview record count, Talent Pool volume (if Enterprise), User count, and any Company or Client records. Because Talent Connects has no API, we plan the export strategy as a series of UI-based CSV extractions with batch sizing. We flag whether the Growth tier's 10-job limit affects the migration scope and whether a plan upgrade is needed before export begins. The scoping output is a written migration map specifying what moves, what requires manual export, what is flagged for rebuild, and what does not transfer.

  2. CSV export scripting and validation

    We script and execute the Talent Connects data exports using a controlled batch process that respects any UI pagination or file size limits. Each export is validated against the record count visible in Talent Connects' admin view to confirm completeness before mapping begins. Candidate records, Application records, Job records, Interview records, and any Talent Pool data are exported as separate CSV files. If any export shows missing records, we coordinate with the customer's admin to re-export the affected slice. Export data is stored in an encrypted staging environment during migration.

  3. Recruit CRM schema setup

    Before any data import, we configure the Recruit CRM destination environment. This includes creating any custom fields required to capture Talent Connects attributes that do not map directly to Recruit CRM standard fields (for example, the Talent Pool sourcing tag, original application source channel, and AI ranking placeholder). We set up Pipelines in Recruit CRM matching the stage labels from Talent Connects, configure Candidate and Job Kanban stages, and define Teams and Roles (though granular permission replication is scoped separately). Recruit CRM API credentials are provisioned during this phase if they have not been provided yet.

  4. Sandbox import and reconciliation

    We run an initial import into a Recruit CRM sandbox or a named test environment to validate the mapping logic. The customer's admin reviews a sample of migrated records against the source Talent Connects data — we spot-check 25-50 Candidate records, 10-20 Job records, and interview history entries. We verify that pipeline stage labels map correctly, that Candidate-to-Job application links resolve, and that no fields are silently truncated or dropped. Mapping corrections are made at this stage before production import begins. Any duplicate candidates detected by email are flagged for the admin to resolve.

  5. User provisioning and team setup

    We extract all distinct Talent Connects users and map them to Recruit CRM User accounts. Active users are provisioned in Recruit CRM with matching names and email addresses; inactive users are noted but not migrated as active seats (Recruit CRM is per-user priced). The customer's admin reviews the user list and assigns Recruit CRM roles and team memberships. The admin should also configure calendar integrations (Google Calendar or Outlook) and any video tool connections during this window, as these integrations are not migrated.

  6. Production migration in dependency order

    We run the production migration in dependency order: Jobs first (parent records), then Candidates (standalone), then Applications (linking Candidate to Job), then Interview Schedules (linking to Candidate and Job), then Talent Pool records with sourcing tags. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. Bulk imports use Recruit CRM's import tooling with chunking for large datasets. Activity records (interview notes, email history) are mapped to Recruit CRM Tasks and Notes. No workflows, sequences, or automations are migrated — these are inventory-listed for the admin rebuild.

  7. Cutover, validation, and automation handoff

    We freeze Talent Connects writes during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then enable Recruit CRM as the system of record. We deliver the written automation inventory document listing every active Talent Connects automation and its recommended Recruit CRM equivalent (sequence, task trigger, or workflow). We support a one-week hypercare window to resolve reconciliation issues. We do not rebuild Talent Connects automations as Recruit CRM sequences or workflows; that is a separate admin task or engagement.

Straightforward migrations with under 5,000 Candidates, 500 Jobs, and no Talent Pool data typically complete in three to five weeks. Migrations with active interview history (over 10,000 records), Talent Pool sourcing data requiring tagging logic, multiple pipeline configurations, or complex user-role structures requiring manual role reconstruction move to six to ten weeks. The no-API constraint on Talent Connects adds time to the export phase but is accounted for in the scoped timeline. Recruit CRM subscription setup and API credential provisioning also occur in parallel during the early phases.
