Migrate from World Manager to Zoho Recruit

World Manager employee records map to Zoho Recruit Candidate records. We map First Name, Last Name, Email, Phone, and Address fields directly. Active employment status in World Manager maps to Candidate status as Active or Passive depending on whether the employee is currently employed. We set the Candidate Status to Active for any employee being considered for internal mobility or referral programs. World Manager's employee ID becomes a custom Candidate field for reconciliation.

World Manager locations (stores, restaurants, sites) map to Zoho Recruit Job Opening location fields or a custom multi-select picklist on Candidate. We preserve the location hierarchy so that if a World Manager location has a parent region, the region maps to a custom field above the specific site.

World Manager departments map to a custom Department field on Zoho Recruit Candidate. Zoho Recruit does not have a native Department object, so we create a picklist matching the World Manager department list and populate it during migration.

World Manager role assignments map to the Current Position field on Zoho Recruit Candidate. For employees with multiple role assignments across departments, we create a skills or qualifications entry for the secondary role.

World Manager training module completions split across Zoho Recruit Skills and Certifications. Safety certifications (food handler, alcohol service, OSHA) map to Certifications with issue date and expiry date. Job-specific training modules (cash handling, customer service) map to Skills. If a training module has a passing score, we record it as a Skill with a proficiency rating.

World Manager compliance documents (certificates, policy acknowledgments, regulatory forms) migrate as file attachments on the corresponding Zoho Recruit Candidate record. We preserve the original filename and document date. Documents are uploaded via the Zoho Recruit Attachments API after the candidate record is created.

World Manager training expiry dates map to Zoho Recruit Certification expiry fields. Zoho Recruit does not have a native training expiration alert system; we document which certifications have expired or will expire within 90 days so the customer's admin can configure renewal reminders in Zoho Recruit Workflow or the broader Zoho People system.

World Manager shift eligibility flags (day shift, night shift, weekend availability) do not have a native Zoho Recruit equivalent. We map these to a custom Availability field on Candidate as a multi-select picklist. Scheduling constraints are not migrated because Zoho Recruit is not a scheduling tool.

World Manager hire date migrates to the Work Experience entry on Zoho Recruit Candidate as the start date of the most recent employment. We flag any employees with a World Manager hire date but no active end date as current employees being moved into the ATS for internal mobility tracking.

World Manager onboarding checklists (documents signed, modules completed, forms submitted) do not have a Zoho Recruit equivalent as a structured object. We create a checklist migration note on the candidate record summarizing the onboarding completion status and deliver a written checklist handoff document for the admin to rebuild in Zoho Recruit Workflow or Zoho People onboarding module.

World Manager manager assignments map to a custom Hiring Manager field on Zoho Recruit Candidate or Job Opening. We match by manager email to a Zoho Recruit User if one exists; otherwise the manager name is stored as text for the admin to reconcile post-migration.

Any World Manager custom objects (region-specific compliance records, union tracking, benefits enrollment status) map to Zoho Recruit Custom Modules if available on the Professional or Enterprise plan. We pre-create the custom module schema with matching field names and types before migration. Custom Modules are available from Zoho Recruit Professional tier ($60 per recruiter per month).
