Overview
Moving from Talent Pool Builder to Recruit CRM is a migration driven by platform maturity and data portability rather than a difference in core ATS functionality. Both platforms cover the recruiting cycle from job posting through offer, but Talent Pool Builder's lack of a documented bulk export API creates friction at migration time that Recruit CRM's structured data-import tooling is designed to reduce. We extract candidate profiles, application stage history, interview scores, offer letters, and talent pool memberships from Talent Pool Builder's per-account export, then map them to Recruit CRM's Contact, Position, Pipeline, and Talent Pool objects. Talent pool segmentation tags migrate cleanly; communication threads export as individual event records without guaranteed thread continuity; and union compliance flags require manual post-migration reconfiguration. Workflows, automations, and SMS/email sequences built inside Talent Pool Builder do not migrate as code.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.
AI proposes the map; you confirm before any record moves.
Parent–child, lookups, and ownership stay linked.
Calls, emails, meetings — with original timestamps.
Documents, uploads, and inline notes move with the record.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Talent Pool Builder 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 Pool Builder
Candidate
Recruit CRM & ATS
Contact
1:1Talent Pool Builder Candidate records map to Recruit CRM Contact. We extract name, email, phone, source attribution, application stage, and any screening score custom fields. Resume attachments migrate as document references. The Contact record is the primary parent for all engagement and application history in Recruit CRM, so we resolve the Contact insert before any child object migration begins.
Talent Pool Builder
Job
Recruit CRM & ATS
Position
1:1Talent Pool Builder Job postings map to Recruit CRM Position. We preserve job title, department, location, posting date, and the pipeline stage configuration. Stage names from Talent Pool Builder map to Recruit CRM pipeline stages; if stage names differ materially, we create matching stages in Recruit CRM during the pre-import schema configuration step.
Talent Pool Builder
Requisition
Recruit CRM & ATS
Requirement
1:1Talent Pool Builder Requisitions map to Recruit CRM Requirement (or Requirement object within the Position module depending on Recruit CRM edition). We extract requisition status, hiring manager reference, and approval history as custom fields because these do not have a direct native equivalent in Recruit CRM's standard schema.
Talent Pool Builder
Talent Pool
Recruit CRM & ATS
Talent Pool
1:1Talent Pool Builder Talent Pools map to Recruit CRM Talent Pool with pool name and description preserved. Pool membership — the list of Candidate IDs belonging to each pool — migrates as a bulk association file that Recruit CRM imports to link existing Contact records to the destination Talent Pool. Pool-specific custom fields (such as engagement score or source tier) map as custom fields on the Contact record if Recruit CRM supports custom Contact fields in the talent pool context.
Talent Pool Builder
Application
Recruit CRM & ATS
Application
1:1Talent Pool Builder Application records (linking a Candidate to a Job with a timestamp and stage) map to Recruit CRM Application. We preserve the full application timeline including stage transitions and recruiter notes. Application status maps to Recruit CRM's application state enumeration with any non-standard statuses mapped to a custom field for manual resolution post-migration.
Talent Pool Builder
Interview Record
Recruit CRM & ATS
Interview / Activity
1:1Interview scheduling data and structured score fields from Talent Pool Builder migrate to Recruit CRM Interview records linked to the Application. Free-text interview notes migrate as activity notes with a reference to the original field source so reviewers can trace provenance. Score fields that exceed Recruit CRM's field type limits are flagged as candidates for truncation or custom field creation.
Talent Pool Builder
Offer
Recruit CRM & ATS
Offer
1:1Talent Pool Builder Offer records (template placeholders, offer status, digital signature state) map to Recruit CRM Offer records attached to the Application. We export the offer data and flag the digital signature status as a post-migration remediation item because signature state cannot be replicated across platforms without re-initiating the signing workflow in Recruit CRM.
Talent Pool Builder
Custom Candidate Properties
Recruit CRM & ATS
Custom Contact Fields
1:1Talent Pool Builder accounts frequently create custom fields for screening answers, rating scores, and source attribution. These fields vary significantly in naming and data type across accounts. During scoping we request a full field inventory from the source account, classify each by data type, and map to Recruit CRM custom fields of the equivalent type. Fields with no matching Recruit CRM type are logged as manual-entry candidates for post-migration remediation.
Talent Pool Builder
Communication History
Recruit CRM & ATS
Activity / Communication Timeline
1:1Email, SMS, and call logs from Talent Pool Builder migrate as individual activity records in Recruit CRM's communication timeline. Thread continuity is not guaranteed because Talent Pool Builder exports communication as discrete event records without guaranteed parent-child linkage. We export what is available, flag thread gaps in the data validation report, and recommend the customer communicate the limitation to hiring managers who rely on inbox history for interview context.
Talent Pool Builder
Attachment
Recruit CRM & ATS
Document
1:1Resume files and uploaded documents from Talent Pool Builder migrate as document references or binary blobs depending on the export method available from the vendor-assisted data dump. File naming conventions vary by account and are preserved as-is. We verify each attachment is linked to the correct Contact record before marking the attachments phase as complete.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Export coordination and discovery
We contact the customer's Talent Pool Builder account team to request a full data export in CSV or structured file format. While that export is being prepared (three to five business days), we conduct a discovery session with the customer to capture the full field inventory, talent pool list, job pipeline configuration, and any known custom objects or compliance fields. We validate the vendor-provided export against the discovery inventory to confirm completeness before beginning field mapping.
Schema design and field mapping
We design the destination schema in Recruit CRM based on the validated export. This includes creating any custom fields required to receive Talent Pool Builder custom property values, mapping pipeline stage names to Recruit CRM stages, and defining the talent pool structure. We document every field that has no direct equivalent and flag it as a manual-entry candidate or custom field to be created post-migration. The mapping document is reviewed and signed off by the customer's administrator before import begins.
Test import in Recruit CRM sandbox
We run a full test import into a Recruit CRM staging environment using a representative sample of the exported data. The customer reviews the imported records for accuracy, confirms that custom fields populated correctly, and validates that talent pool associations are intact. Any mapping corrections are made before production migration begins. This step catches field type mismatches and truncations early, preventing rework during the production cutover.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: Contact records first (as the primary parent for all other objects), then Position records, Requirement records, Application records, Interview records, Offer records, and Talent Pool associations last. Communication history and attachments migrate after the core record structure is validated. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins.
Cutover, validation, and handoff
We freeze writes to Talent Pool Builder during the cutover window, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration, and verify the final record counts in Recruit CRM against the validated export totals. We deliver a written inventory of any fields that were flagged as manual-entry candidates and any platform-specific features (union compliance, seniority ranking) requiring post-migration configuration. We do not rebuild Talent Pool Builder workflows, automations, or SMS/email sequences; that work is documented for the customer's admin to handle separately.
