Overview
Moving from Talexio to Recruit CRM is primarily an ATS data migration where Talexio's candidate pipeline and People profiles are extracted via the Graph API and loaded into Recruit CRM's Candidate, Contact, and Job objects. Talexio is an integrated HRMS with payroll and EU compliance at its core; Recruit CRM is purpose-built for recruitment agencies with a modern candidate-centric data model, API token auth, and tiered rate limits (60 req/min standard, scaling with license count). The main structural gap is that Talexio stores employment history and leave balances as HRMS objects (Employment Positions, Leave Management) that have no direct equivalent in Recruit CRM's recruitment-centric schema—these require field-level decomposition or custom field reconstruction. We use Talexio's reporting database schema (provisioned via support ticket) as the primary export source for bulk migration, and we sequence the extraction to respect Talexio's undocumented rate limits through exploratory probe calls before full-volume export. Workflows, Onboarding Assistant automation, and Zapier hooks do not migrate; we deliver a written inventory for the customer's admin to rebuild in Recruit CRM.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Talexio 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.
Talexio
People (Employee profiles)
Recruit CRM & ATS
Contact
1:1Talexio People profiles migrate to Recruit CRM Contacts. We extract name, email, phone, address, department, job title, and employment status. Talexio's single employee profile may contain both HR and recruiting context; we separate these into Contact fields and, where employment data exceeds Recruit CRM's standard Contact fields, into custom fields on the Contact record. Active status, start date, and manager references migrate as custom fields since Recruit CRM Contacts do not have a native employment date schema.
Talexio
Candidate (ATS)
Recruit CRM & ATS
Candidate
1:1Talexio's candidate records in the ATS module map directly to Recruit CRM Candidate records. We extract name, email, phone, current title, current company, LinkedIn URL, source channel, pipeline stage, and any recruiter assignment. Custom Talexio candidate fields require enumeration during discovery and are mapped to Recruit CRM custom candidate fields created before import. Pipeline stage names from Talexio do not auto-map to Recruit CRM stages; we document the stage mapping as a configuration step.
Talexio
Job Posting
Recruit CRM & ATS
Job
1:1Talexio job postings migrate to Recruit CRM Job records. We extract job title, description, location, employment type, department, salary range, and status (open/closed/hired). Talexio job IDs are preserved in a custom field on the Recruit CRM Job record for reconciliation. Published date and closing date migrate to Recruit CRM's job date fields.
Talexio
Employment Position
Recruit CRM & ATS
Custom Fields on Candidate/Contact
lossyTalexio Employment Position records (each representing a role or salary change against a People profile) have no direct Recruit CRM object. We decompose each position into its component fields—title, salary, effective date, employment type, cost centre—and store them as structured entries in a custom Talexio_positions__c custom field on the Candidate or Contact record as a multi-line text or JSON blob. We flag during scoping whether the customer requires this level of employment history preservation or a simpler current-position snapshot.
Talexio
Leave Management
Recruit CRM & ATS
Custom Fields on Contact
1:1Talexio leave records (leave type, balance used, approval status, effective dates) are extracted but have no native Recruit CRM equivalent since Recruit CRM is an ATS, not an HRMS. We store leave balance data as custom fields on the Contact record (leave_type__c, balance_used__c, effective_date__c) or as a note attached to the Contact, depending on volume. We do not migrate leave entitlements as a managed object.
Talexio
Time & Attendance clockings
Recruit CRM & ATS
Note or Custom Field on Contact
1:1Talexio clocking records (employee reference, date, clock-in/out timestamps) are extracted from the reporting database. Because Recruit CRM has no time tracking module, we attach a structured time log summary as a Note or as date-stamped custom fields on the Contact record. Historical clocking data exceeding 12 months is flagged during scoping for exclusion or archival since it has limited recruiting value in Recruit CRM.
Talexio
Company (Talexio ATS)
Recruit CRM & ATS
Company
1:1Talexio companies linked to candidate records in the ATS module migrate to Recruit CRM Company records. We extract company name, website, industry, size, and address. Company name is used as the dedupe key. Company records are created before Candidate import so that the Company lookup is satisfied at the point of Candidate insert.
Talexio
Department and Cost Centre
Recruit CRM & ATS
Custom Field on Candidate/Contact/Job
lossyTalexio organisational units (departments, cost centres) are exported as reference data. We create corresponding values in Recruit CRM as custom picklist fields on Candidate, Contact, or Job depending on where the department context is most relevant. If the customer uses departments as placement categories, we map them to Recruit CRM Job departments or hotlist tags.
Talexio
Onboarding package
Recruit CRM & ATS
Note on Contact + Custom Field
1:1Talexio Onboarding Assistant document packages and step completion status are not native Recruit CRM objects. We migrate onboarding step names and completion status as custom fields on the Candidate record (onboarding_step_1__c, completion_status__c) and attach any onboarding documents as Notes or Files linked to the Contact. We flag that document attachments require separate export from Talexio's document store if they are stored as binary files rather than text records.
Talexio
Custom Fields on People profiles
Recruit CRM & ATS
Custom Fields on Candidate/Contact
lossyTalexio custom profile fields are enumerated during discovery (requiring Talexio view permissions on the account). Each custom field is mapped to a Recruit CRM custom field of the matching type (text, number, date, picklist, checkbox). Recruit CRM's custom field creation via Admin Settings must precede the bulk import. We document the full custom field inventory in the migration scope for the customer's admin to review before we create destination fields.
Talexio
Documents
Recruit CRM & ATS
Files linked to Candidate/Contact
1:1Talexio documents attached to People profiles or candidate records are exported from the reporting database or directly from the UI. We link documents to the corresponding Recruit CRM Candidate or Contact record as Files. Document naming conventions from Talexio are preserved in the file name so that the admin can audit attachment history post-migration. Binary file attachments require a separate export step from Talexio's document store.
Talexio
Training / Skills records
Recruit CRM & ATS
Custom Fields on Candidate/Contact
1:1Talexio skill and training tracking exists as profile fields rather than a separate object. Skills migrate as multi-select or comma-separated custom fields on the Recruit CRM Candidate record. If the customer uses skills as searchable criteria in Recruit CRM, we recommend configuring them as picklist-based custom fields with a controlled vocabulary to maintain search consistency.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discovery and schema provisioning
We audit Talexio across active modules (People profiles, ATS candidates, job postings, time logs, leave records, departments, custom fields), count record volumes per object, and confirm the subscription tier for API access. We raise the Talexio reporting schema request on behalf of the customer and begin exploratory API probe calls to measure undocumented rate limits. We simultaneously confirm the Recruit CRM Business Plan subscription status, retrieve the API token from Admin Settings, and enumerate existing Recruit CRM custom fields to avoid naming conflicts during import.
Field mapping and Recruit CRM schema preparation
We produce a written field mapping document enumerating every Talexio People profile field, candidate field, job field, and custom field against its Recruit CRM equivalent. Any Talexio fields with no Recruit CRM equivalent are flagged as custom field candidates. We create the custom fields in Recruit CRM (Candidate and Contact objects) before any data import begins. We configure the Recruit CRM pipeline stages to match Talexio's stage names, confirmed with the customer's admin, and document any stage that requires a new status value.
Test extraction and reconciliation
We run a small-volume extraction from Talexio's Graph API against 50-100 records to validate token stability, response structure, and field completeness. We cross-reference the extracted records against the Talexio UI to confirm that Graph API data matches manual view data. We load the test set into Recruit CRM via bulk import and reconcile field mapping, duplicate detection (email dedupe), and attachment linking. Corrections to the field map are documented before the full export begins.
Full data extraction in dependency order
We run full export from Talexio in dependency order: Departments and Companies first (reference data), then People profiles and Candidates (primary records), then Job postings, then custom field records, then Documents and Notes. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report. We pause between phases if Talexio's undocumented rate limits cause throttling, backing off exponentially and resuming from checkpoint. Time & Attendance and Leave records are exported as final phases with a volume cap flag for records older than 12 months.
Recruit CRM bulk import and validation
We import into Recruit CRM using the bulk import tool for standard objects and the API (with rate-limit monitoring) for custom fields and attachments. We enable duplicate merge settings on email match and review the duplicate report after import to resolve false positives (same person, different records) manually with the customer's admin. We run a spot-check comparison of 30-50 records against the Talexio source data and deliver a reconciliation report before cutover.
Cutover, delta sync, and automation handoff
We freeze writes to Talexio during the cutover window, run a final delta extraction of any records modified since the last export, and load the delta into Recruit CRM. We deliver a written inventory of Talexio automations, Onboarding Assistant packages, and Zapier hooks that do not migrate, with recommended Recruit CRM equivalents for each. We conduct a one-week hypercare window to resolve post-migration reconciliation issues. We do not rebuild Talexio automations as Recruit CRM sequences or workflows within the migration scope.
