Overview

What this migration involves

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.

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.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

VidCruiter logo

VidCruiter

What's pushing teams away

  • Lengthy implementation and setup times due to the custom Recruitment Process Modeling approach — teams expecting plug-and-play are surprised by the configuration investment required.
  • Template rigidity once a requisition goes live — making changes to active job requisitions is significantly more involved than teams expect and causes workflow disruptions.
  • Reporting is admin-only by default — hiring managers cannot pull their own pipeline data without going through an administrator, creating bottlenecks in distributed teams.
  • Integration gaps outside the enterprise ecosystem — teams using HubSpot, Bullhorn, or non-mainstream ATS platforms need custom workarounds or manual export processes.
  • Smaller teams and startups find the platform over-engineered for their hiring volume — the complexity is justified for high-volume enterprise but burdensome for lean recruiting operations.

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 VidCruiter objects map to Recruit CRM & ATS

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

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Candidate

1:1
Fully supported

VidCruiter 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

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Job

1:1
Fully supported

VidCruiter 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)

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Stage (Kanban pipeline)

lossy
Fully supported

VidCruiter 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

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Candidate Attachment (media)

1:1
Fully supported

Pre-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

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Evaluation (candidate notes and ratings)

1:1
Fully supported

Structured 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

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Evaluation Template (attached to Job or Candidate)

1:1
Fully supported

Custom 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

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Custom Candidate Field + Attachment

1:1
Fully supported

Skills 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

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Reference Check Record

1:1
Fully supported

Automated 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)

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Candidate Attachment

1:1
Fully supported

Candidate-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

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Candidate Tag

1:1
Fully supported

Tags 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

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

User

1:1
Fully supported

VidCruiter 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.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Video interview files require separate media migration outside standard export

    VidCruiter stores pre-recorded video interviews as hosted media assets that are not embedded in a standard database export. These require separate file retrieval via the platform API or signed URLs, typically one file per interview per candidate. We download all video assets, package them with metadata (interview type, question set, date, duration), and re-attach them to the migrated candidate record in Recruit CRM. Organizations with large video libraries (over 500 interview recordings) should account for the storage implications in Recruit CRM's document storage allocation and the time required for batch download and re-upload. We do not re-host video on a third-party streaming platform within this migration scope; video lives as file attachments in Recruit CRM.

  • Per-requisition stage normalization requires pre-migration stage map design

    VidCruiter's workflow model allows each requisition to have a different set of pipeline stages, unlike most ATS platforms where stages are shared across all jobs. Recruit CRM uses a unified stage taxonomy applied across its Kanban pipeline. We extract the full stage map per job during discovery, identify semantically overlapping stages across requisitions, and design a normalized stage configuration in Recruit CRM before any candidate data moves. Stages that cannot map cleanly (e.g., a VidCruiter requisition with a compliance gate stage that has no Recruit CRM equivalent) are flagged for the customer to decide whether to add a custom stage or consolidate. Skipping this step results in candidate records landing in the wrong pipeline stage after migration.

  • Workflows and pipeline automation do not migrate as code

    VidCruiter's custom workflow model and any pipeline automation rules are not transferable to Recruit CRM's automation framework. We do not migrate automation logic as executable code. We deliver a written inventory of every active VidCruiter workflow and pipeline automation with its trigger conditions, actions, and configuration, along with a recommended Recruit CRM equivalent where applicable. The customer's recruiting admin rebuilds these in Recruit CRM post-migration. Interview templates and hiring process templates also require manual rebuild; we document the template structure and question sets migrated as data records.

  • Reference check submodule requires structured extraction and reformatting

    VidCruiter's automated reference checking is a separate sub-module with its own data structure. Reference check responses, reference provider details, and verification status are not in the same export as candidate records. We extract the reference check submodule data, normalize the response fields into Recruit CRM's reference check format, and attach reference check documentation to the corresponding candidate record. If Recruit CRM's reference check section uses a different field schema (e.g., free-text response fields versus structured question-answer fields), we map the data and flag the format difference for customer review.

  • Recruit CRM's ATS + CRM dual-role requires data model alignment

    Recruit CRM serves as both an ATS (for candidate tracking) and a CRM (for client relationship management). Candidate records and client records live in separate modules. Teams migrating from VidCruiter, which is primarily candidate and requisition focused, need to decide how to map their data model to Recruit CRM's dual-module architecture. We scope whether client or company data exists in VidCruiter, how candidate-to-client relationships are tracked, and whether the customer intends to use Recruit CRM's CRM features. This affects the destination schema design and the field mapping for any company or client data present in the source.

Migration approach

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

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

Most migrations land between four and eight weeks for accounts under 5,000 active candidates with a manageable video asset library and no complex per-requisition stage complexity. Migrations with large video interview libraries (over 500 recordings), automated reference check response histories, or per-requisition stage sets that require extensive normalization move to ten to sixteen weeks because of media handling, stage design work, and evaluation metadata extraction. We scope the timeline based on discovery findings before any work begins.
