Overview

What this migration involves

Migrating from Vultus Recruit to Recruit CRM is a structural migration constrained by Vultus Recruit's lack of a public REST API. All record extraction relies on CSV exports from the product UI, which may not capture hotlist membership, custom field text, or activity history in a single consolidated format. We work with customers to produce complete exports from Settings > Reports, reconcile custom field names during scoping, and map Vultus's Opening, Candidate, Account, Contact, and User records to their Recruit CRM equivalents. Pipeline stage labels migrate as custom fields. We do not migrate resume binary files, job board integration settings, or automation rules as code. Recruit CRM's integration ecosystem (Zapier, Integrately, Pabbly) and AI-powered features represent the primary capability uplift; the migration preserves candidate and client data while giving the customer's team a documented automation inventory to rebuild post-migration.

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

Vultus Recruit

What's pushing teams away

  • TrustRadius review data shows a 1.0/10 score with very few verified reviews, suggesting the product has low market traction and may struggle with long-term development and support reliability.
  • Teams with complex onboarding or compliance requirements find Vultus Recruit lacks the depth of enterprise ATS platforms like Greenhouse or Lever, prompting migration to tools with stronger workflow automation.
  • Limited third-party integration ecosystem means teams using broader HR stacks (HRIS, payroll, background check services) eventually consolidate onto platforms like BambooHR, Rippling, or Zoho People that offer tighter ecosystem connectivity.
  • A few G2 reviewers note that features available in competing systems at similar price points (advanced analytics, candidate assessment tools) are missing or immature in Vultus Recruit, creating churn for growth-stage teams.

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 Vultus Recruit objects map to Recruit CRM & ATS

Each row shows how a Vultus Recruit 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.

Vultus Recruit

Openings

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Jobs

1:1
Fully supported

Vultus Recruit Openings map to Recruit CRM Jobs. We extract title, description, status (draft/open/closed), department, location, and creation date from the Opening export. Pipeline stage definitions within openings migrate as a custom text field on the Recruit CRM Job record. Recruit CRM's Job object supports multiple hiring pipelines (analogous to Vultus's pipeline configuration) configured as separate Jobs with a pipeline custom field. Job board posting integrations (Indeed, ZipRecruiter, Techfetch) are platform settings not migratable; we document the current posting configuration so the customer can re-post manually or via Recruit CRM's native job board distribution.

Vultus Recruit

Candidates

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Candidates

1:1
Fully supported

The primary candidate record is the most data-dense object in this migration. We extract name, email, phone, resume text, source channel, current status, owner assignment, and any custom field values surfaced in the CSV export. Vultus's candidate status values (Applied, Screening, Interview, Offer, Hired, Rejected) map directly to Recruit CRM's status options. We flag duplicate candidates detected during deduplication logic and resolve the primary record for the merged entry. Resume text transfers to Recruit CRM's candidate resume field; binary file attachments are noted as non-migratable (see Gotchas).

Vultus Recruit

Accounts

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Clients

1:1
Fully supported

Vultus Recruit Accounts (client companies) map to Recruit CRM Clients. Standard fields including company name, address, industry, and contact count migrate cleanly. Custom Account properties discovered during scoping map to Recruit CRM custom fields on the Client object, requiring the customer to pre-create matching fields in Recruit CRM's field editor before migration. Account ownership resolves to the Recruit CRM User lookup via email match.

Vultus Recruit

Contacts

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Contacts

1:1
Fully supported

Recruiter and client contact details stored within Accounts map to Recruit CRM Contacts. Name, email, phone, role/title, and the linked Account/Client reference transfer via parent-lookup resolution. Custom Contact properties discovered during scoping follow the same pre-creation requirement as Account custom fields. Contact deduplication applies the same email-based logic used for Candidates.

Vultus Recruit

Users

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Users

1:1
Mapping required

Vultus Recruit Users and Owners referenced on Candidates and Openings map to Recruit CRM Users. We extract user IDs and names but resolve by email match to the Recruit CRM User table. Role assignments and permission sets are platform-configured and cannot migrate; the customer provisions User accounts in Recruit CRM before migration and we reconcile the OwnerId references against the provisioned User list.

Vultus Recruit

Hotlists

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Tags

lossy
Mapping required

Vultus Recruit Hotlists are grouped candidate collections without a direct Recruit CRM equivalent. We export the hotlist name and candidate IDs within each hotlist, then recreate the grouping in Recruit CRM as Tag records on the Candidate object. Tag assignment is a post-import step executed via Recruit CRM's bulk tag interface. If a customer has more than 20 hotlists, we batch-tag in groups of 50 candidates per operation to stay within Recruit CRM's bulk edit limits.

Vultus Recruit

Custom Fields (Openings)

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Custom Fields (Jobs)

lossy
Fully supported

Vultus Recruit supports custom fields on Openings that vary per customer. We discover custom field names and data types during scoping and map them to Recruit CRM Job custom fields, requiring the customer to pre-create matching fields in Recruit CRM's Settings > Custom Fields before migration. The migration waits on the customer to confirm field creation before importing records containing custom field data.

Vultus Recruit

Custom Fields (Candidates)

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Custom Fields (Candidates)

lossy
Fully supported

Candidate custom fields in Vultus Recruit map to Recruit CRM Candidate custom fields. Field type mapping handles text, number, date, picklist, and checkbox types with appropriate Recruit CRM equivalents. Multi-select picklist values transfer as comma-separated strings and are split into Recruit CRM's multi-select format. The customer pre-creates all destination custom fields before the migration phase; we provide a field creation checklist during scoping.

Vultus Recruit

Custom Fields (Accounts/Contacts)

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Custom Fields (Clients/Contacts)

lossy
Fully supported

Custom Account and Contact fields follow the same pre-creation requirement. We map each Vultus field name to a Recruit CRM field and flag any field type incompatibilities (e.g., Vultus freeform text that needs to become a structured picklist in Recruit CRM) for customer resolution during scoping.

Vultus Recruit

Pipeline Stages

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Stages

lossy
Mapping required

Pipeline stage definitions tied to the Opening object vary per Vultus Recruit customer configuration. We extract current stage labels and order from the Opening export and document them as a stage map for the customer's Recruit CRM admin to configure as Stage options on the Job object. Stage transition rules and automation triggers cannot migrate and are included in the automation inventory document delivered post-scoping.

Vultus Recruit

Attachments (Resumes)

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Resume Files

1:1
Fully supported

Resume files attached to candidate records are not accessible as downloadable binaries via Vultus Recruit's UI. We extract resume text displayed in structured candidate fields and import it as the Resume text block in Recruit CRM. Binary file migration is not possible with the current export mechanism. Customers should plan for candidate-side re-upload or a post-migration resume parsing pass using Recruit CRM's built-in AI parser on candidate records.

Vultus Recruit

Mass Mailing Data

maps to

Recruit CRM & ATS

Candidate Contact Information

1:1
Mapping required

Mass mailing history and email campaign metadata are stored within Vultus Recruit but not exposed as a distinct exportable object. We extract candidate email addresses, names, and any segment tags (derived from hotlist membership or source channel) to populate Recruit CRM's candidate contact records. Email campaign history does not migrate; we document the existence of mass mailing campaigns for the customer's awareness.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Vultus Recruit lacks a public API for bulk extraction

    Vultus Recruit does not publish a public REST API. All record extraction depends on CSV exports from Settings > Reports and the product UI, which may not include all custom fields, hotlist membership, or historical status-change timestamps in a single file. We ask customers to export from multiple report views and confirm completeness before migration runs. Records not present in the export cannot be migrated, and missing fields in the export require customer-side data cleanup before the next migration attempt.

  • Resume binary files are not accessible for export

    Candidate resume files stored as attachments in Vultus Recruit cannot be downloaded via any documented endpoint or UI mechanism. We extract resume text where the platform surfaces it in structured fields and import it as text into Recruit CRM's candidate resume block, but binary file attachments do not migrate. Customers should expect to request re-uploads from candidates or run a resume parsing service against the candidate list post-migration to rebuild file attachments in Recruit CRM.

  • Hotlists require manual tag recreation in Recruit CRM

    Vultus Recruit's Hotlists are grouped candidate collections that have no direct Recruit CRM equivalent. We export the hotlist name and candidate IDs, then assign Tag records to candidates in Recruit CRM post-import. This is a post-migration admin step requiring the customer to run Recruit CRM's bulk tag interface against candidate lists. If the customer has more than 20 hotlists with overlapping membership, tag creation and assignment may take two to three admin hours to complete.

  • Custom fields must be pre-created in Recruit CRM before migration

    Vultus Recruit stores custom fields in non-standard structures per customer. We discover all custom field names and types during scoping, but Recruit CRM requires matching custom fields to be created manually in Settings > Custom Fields before we can map data into them. This pre-migration step is the customer's responsibility and blocks the migration from proceeding past the scoping phase until confirmed complete.

  • Workflow and automation rules do not export and must be rebuilt

    Stage transition rules, email trigger automations, and status-based workflow configurations in Vultus Recruit are internal platform settings with no documented export mechanism. We document the current stage labels, status values, and any observable automation logic during scoping, delivering a written inventory for the customer's Recruit CRM admin to rebuild using Recruit CRM's no-code workflow builder. Workflow rebuild is outside standard migration scope.

Migration approach

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

  1. Discovery and export preparation

    We schedule a scoping call to audit the Vultus Recruit account for record counts (Candidates, Openings, Accounts, Contacts, Hotlists), custom field inventory, pipeline stage names, and any active automation rules. We provide the customer with a step-by-step export guide for extracting CSV files from Settings > Reports, covering all four primary objects and any custom fields visible in the UI. The customer produces and shares exports; we validate completeness against the record count estimates and flag any missing fields for re-export before migration begins.

  2. Custom field and schema mapping

    We analyze the Vultus Recruit exports and produce a field-level mapping document mapping each Vultus field (standard and custom) to its Recruit CRM equivalent. This document identifies field type conversions, required fields in Recruit CRM, and any Vultus fields with no destination equivalent. The customer uses this document to create matching custom fields in Recruit CRM's Settings > Custom Fields panel. We confirm field creation is complete before proceeding to the next phase.

  3. User provisioning and Owner reconciliation

    We extract every distinct Vultus Recruit Owner and User referenced on candidate and opening records and match by email to the Recruit CRM User table. Any Owner without a matching Recruit CRM User goes to a reconciliation queue. The customer provisions missing User accounts in Recruit CRM (active or inactive based on whether the original Vultus user remains active on the team). Migration cannot proceed past record import until all OwnerId references are resolvable.

  4. Record import in dependency order

    We run imports in record-dependency order: Accounts (to Recruit CRM Clients), Contacts (with ClientId resolved), Candidates (with OwnerId resolved and resume text imported), Openings/Jobs (with status and stage labels mapped), and Tags (created on Candidates from hotlist export). Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report. Custom field values populate on records already present in Recruit CRM to avoid custom-field-on-nonexistent-record errors.

  5. Hotlist-to-tag conversion

    We provide the customer with a tag creation guide mapping each Vultus Recruit Hotlist name to a Recruit CRM Tag. The customer applies tags in bulk using Recruit CRM's candidate bulk-edit interface. We validate tag coverage by sampling candidate records and confirming expected tag counts match the original hotlist membership from the export.

  6. Cutover, validation, and automation handoff

    We run a final delta migration for any records modified during the migration window after initial cutover. We deliver the automation inventory document (stage labels, transition rules, email trigger logic observed in Vultus Recruit) with recommended Recruit CRM workflow builder equivalents. We do not rebuild workflows inside the migration scope. We provide a one-week hypercare window for reconciliation issues raised during the customer's first week in Recruit CRM.

Platform deep dives

Context on both ends of the pair

Vultus Recruit logo

Vultus Recruit

Source

Strengths

  • Per-user pricing with no feature gating across tiers means small teams pay only for access seats, not capability, based on vendor pricing page.
  • All-in-one ATS + lightweight CRM in a single subscription reduces tool sprawl for staffing agencies managing both candidates and client accounts.
  • Resume parsing and harvesting are included on every plan, eliminating a common add-on cost found in competitors like Breezy HR and Workable.
  • Boolean search is available on all tiers, giving small recruiting teams advanced sourcing capability without a paid upgrade.
  • Career portal integration and social media posting are built-in, reducing the need for external job distribution tools.

Weaknesses

  • No public REST API is documented anywhere in the vendor's help center or developer documentation, making programmatic data export and migration highly manual.
  • Review volume is extremely low (43 reviews on Capterra, 1 on TrustRadius), making it difficult to validate product stability or long-term roadmap confidence before committing.
  • TrustRadius score of 1.0/10 signals significant dissatisfaction among the small reviewer base, particularly on features and overall value compared to expectations.
  • The platform lacks native onboarding or HRIS features — teams outgrow it once hiring moves beyond ATS into employee management, requiring a second tool.
  • No free version is available, only a 14-day trial, which raises the evaluation commitment for budget-conscious small teams.

Migrations with fewer than 5,000 candidates, 500 openings, and no complex multi-hotlist custom field structure land between three and five weeks. Projects exceeding 20,000 candidate records, extensive hotlist-to-tag remapping, or extended data reconciliation to resolve incomplete CSV exports extend to six to ten weeks. The primary variable is the quality and completeness of the Vultus Recruit CSV exports, which determines how much manual field mapping and re-export work is required during scoping.
