Overview
Moving from VidCruiter to Recruit CRM is a migration between two different recruiting architecture models. VidCruiter organizes hiring around a custom Recruitment Process Modeling approach with per-requisition pipeline stages and hosts pre-recorded video as external media assets; Recruit CRM is an ATS plus CRM with a visual Kanban pipeline, AI resume parsing, and over 1,000 third-party integrations. We extract candidate profiles with their full application history and pipeline status, normalize VidCruiter's custom stage sets into Recruit CRM's stage taxonomy, and download all video interview files for re-attachment to candidate records in the destination. Skills assessment scores and automated reference check results migrate as structured evaluation metadata. VidCruiter's custom workflow model means we validate that pipeline logic is representable in Recruit CRM before committing to the field mapping. Workflows, interview templates, and pipeline automation do not migrate; we deliver a written inventory for your admin to rebuild.
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 VidCruiter 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.
VidCruiter
Candidate
Recruit CRM & ATS
Candidate
1:1VidCruiter Candidate records map directly to Recruit CRM Candidates. We extract full contact details, application history, pipeline status, source information, and all profile fields. Phone numbers, email addresses, LinkedIn URLs, and address data transfer as typed fields. Candidate status in VidCruiter (active, archived, disqualified) maps to the corresponding status value in Recruit CRM. If the customer uses Recruit CRM's client relationship features, we also map candidate-to-client relationships as placement-linked records.
VidCruiter
Requisition / Job
Recruit CRM & ATS
Job
1:1VidCruiter Requisitions (Jobs) carry all posting content, job description, hiring team assignments, and the per-requisition pipeline stage configuration. We map these to Recruit CRM Jobs, preserving the job title, description, location, employment type, and salary range where present. The hiring team (recruiters, hiring managers) maps to user assignments in Recruit CRM. Active job status transfers directly.
VidCruiter
Pipeline Stages (per-requisition)
Recruit CRM & ATS
Stage (Kanban pipeline)
lossyVidCruiter allows a different stage set per requisition. We extract the full stage map per job, identify semantically overlapping stages across requisitions (e.g., 'Phone Screen' appearing in multiple requisitions with slightly different names), and normalize them into Recruit CRM's stage taxonomy. If Recruit CRM's default stage model (Applied, Screening, Interview, Offer, Hired, Rejected) requires renaming or supplementing, we flag the delta for customer review and configure the stage set before candidate migration begins.
VidCruiter
Video Interview
Recruit CRM & ATS
Candidate Attachment (media)
1:1Pre-recorded video interviews stored in VidCruiter are downloaded via API or signed URL, packaged with metadata (interview type, question set, duration, timestamp), and re-attached as media files to the corresponding Candidate record in Recruit CRM. We preserve the original video filename and file type. Storage costs for the re-hosted video library should be factored into Recruit CRM's document storage allocation. Live synchronous interview links are not preserved post-migration; we document which candidates had live interviews and note the date for the customer's hiring team to re-schedule.
VidCruiter
Scorecard / Rating
Recruit CRM & ATS
Evaluation (candidate notes and ratings)
1:1Structured scorecard evaluations submitted by interviewers contain question-level ratings, overall scores, and free-text feedback. These map to Recruit CRM's candidate evaluation section, where structured ratings transfer to a rating or score field and free-text feedback becomes evaluation notes. We preserve the interviewer's name, submission timestamp, and the scoring rubric that was used. Question-by-question ratings map to individual evaluation entries linked to the candidate record.
VidCruiter
Interview Question Set / Guide
Recruit CRM & ATS
Evaluation Template (attached to Job or Candidate)
1:1Custom interview question sets and AI-generated interview guides are structured question lists. We migrate them as evaluation templates attached to the relevant Job or as standalone candidate evaluation records in Recruit CRM. Active scoring rubrics, rating scales, and question weights map to evaluation template fields where available; otherwise, we note that the scoring configuration requires manual rebuild in Recruit CRM's evaluation settings.
VidCruiter
Skills Assessment
Recruit CRM & ATS
Custom Candidate Field + Attachment
1:1Skills test results and automated scoring stored per candidate per job transfer as custom fields on the Candidate record in Recruit CRM. Numeric scores and pass/fail thresholds migrate to the corresponding custom field. The raw assessment file (if the vendor allows export) migrates as a document attachment to the candidate record. Custom assessment field names are created during schema design based on the customer's assessment types.
VidCruiter
Automated Reference Check
Recruit CRM & ATS
Reference Check Record
1:1Automated reference check data lives in a separate submodule in VidCruiter. We extract structured response records (reference name, relationship, questions asked, response content), reference provider details (company, title, contact), and verification status. These map to Recruit CRM's reference check section, which captures reference contact information, structured feedback responses, and verification status. Reference check files or PDFs are attached to the candidate record as documents.
VidCruiter
Document / Attachment (Candidate)
Recruit CRM & ATS
Candidate Attachment
1:1Candidate-attached documents including resumes, cover letters, portfolio files, and portfolio items migrate as file attachments linked to the Candidate record in Recruit CRM. We preserve original filenames and MIME types. Resume files are recognized as such and mapped to Recruit CRM's resume field where the platform provides a dedicated resume upload; additional documents attach to the candidate's document section.
VidCruiter
Tag / Label
Recruit CRM & ATS
Candidate Tag
1:1Tags applied to candidates or jobs for segmentation, workflow routing, or pipeline management migrate as flat tag fields on the respective record. Recruit CRM's candidate tag field supports comma-separated or multi-select tag values. We extract all distinct tag values from VidCruiter, map them to Recruit CRM tag equivalents, and flag any tag values that exceed Recruit CRM's character limit for review and potential abbreviation.
VidCruiter
User / Recruiter
Recruit CRM & ATS
User
1:1VidCruiter user accounts with role assignments (Admin, Recruiter, Hiring Manager) map to Recruit CRM User records. We resolve users by email match between the two platforms. VidCruiter role names differ from Recruit CRM's role model; we map each VidCruiter role to the closest Recruit CRM equivalent and flag any roles without a direct analog. Active versus inactive status transfers from VidCruiter to Recruit CRM.

VidCruiter gotchas
Live requisition template changes are irreversible and disruptive
Video interview files require separate media migration
Custom pipeline stages do not export with fixed schemas
Reporting access is role-restricted at the platform level
Third-party ATS integrations require bidirectional sync configuration
Recruit CRM & ATS gotchas
API rate limits are license-scaled and can throttle bulk migration
Custom field schemas vary per organization and require field-level mapping
Files and email attachments require separate extraction and re-upload
Email sequences and automation logic do not transfer between platforms
Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discovery and VidCruiter audit
We inventory all VidCruiter objects in scope: Candidates, Requisitions, Pipeline Stages, Video Interviews, Interview Questions and Guides, Skills Assessments, Scorecards, Reference Checks, Documents, Tags, and Users. We audit data quality and completeness across record types, flag duplicates for pre-migration cleanup, extract the per-requisition stage map, assess the video interview asset library size, and review the reference check submodule for response volume and completeness. We also inventory existing third-party integrations and webhook configurations that will need to be re-established in Recruit CRM. Discovery output is a written migration scope and data assessment report.
Stage normalization design and Recruit CRM schema setup
We design the stage taxonomy in Recruit CRM based on the extracted per-requisition stage map. We identify semantically equivalent stages across VidCruiter requisitions, consolidate them into Recruit CRM stage values, and configure any additional custom stages required. We design custom fields for assessment scores, reference check response fields, and any evaluation metadata that does not map to a standard Recruit CRM field. We map VidCruiter user roles to Recruit CRM role assignments and document the role mapping for the customer's Recruit CRM admin to review and provision.
Sandbox migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into a Recruit CRM sandbox or test environment using representative data volume. The customer's recruiting lead reviews migrated candidates and jobs for field completeness, verifies that stage mapping reflects the intended pipeline logic, confirms that video attachments are accessible, and validates reference check data formatting. We correct any mapping errors and re-run the sandbox migration before the production cutover. This step is critical for identifying stage normalization issues and custom field gaps before any live data moves.
Production migration in dependency order
We execute production migration in record-dependency sequence. We migrate user accounts first, validated against Recruit CRM's user provisioning. We migrate jobs with stage configuration, then candidates with their application history, document attachments, and tag values. We attach video interview files to candidate records, migrate evaluation scorecards and assessment scores as structured data, and import reference check records. Tags are mapped and loaded. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins.
Cutover, validation, and workflow handoff
We freeze writes in VidCruiter during the cutover window, perform a final delta sync of any records modified since the initial extraction, and validate record counts and field completeness in Recruit CRM against the source export. The customer signs off the migration. We deliver the workflow and automation inventory document to the customer's recruiting admin. We support a one-week post-cutover window to resolve reconciliation issues raised by the team. Workflow rebuild in Recruit CRM is outside standard migration scope and is handled separately by the customer's admin or a Recruit CRM implementation partner.
