Data Migration

Who Needs Data Migration?

Every ATS/CRM gets two types of customers

First-time Users - When a firm starts using an ATS/CRM for the first time, their requirement is to upload any Resume/CVs and Job Descriptions into the new ATS/CRM. When a firm does this, they can use RChilli's Bulk import product, where an ATS can usually only upload either one at a time. The firm can upload the Resume/CVs and Job Descriptions to a secure FTP location, and RChilli will then parse and push the data to the ATS.

Migrating Users - When new customers of an ATS want to migrate data from an existing ATS, they want to migrate Candidates, Jobs, Notes, Users, Interview schedules, and other information. This needs planning and manual transfer. The old ATS gives export of data, and the new ATS needs to manually map the old ATS to new ATS fields. Once the mapping is done, data restructuring is required, and final import is done into the new ATS.

Benefits of Data Migration:

• Cost Savings - By utilizing RChilli for this service, we will provide the recruiter with more productivity, thus reducing the overall data migration cost.
  
  
• Quick Synchronization - RChilli can convert and move candidate and job data extremely fast.
  
  
• Migration with Ease - RChilli simplifies the complex data structures and migrates with ease, thus allowing you time back.

How to Make Data Migration Process Seamless and Secure?

Data migration is a crucial process that means moving data from various locations to an applicant tracking system. This might sound easy, but it involves a lot of changes.

Data migration becomes a need when an organization changes or upgrades its system. It is imperative that the organization must transfer all of its old data to the new system and make things easier for the HR managers and recruiters.

Why Does Every ATS Need Data Migration?

Data migration is risky as you might lose your data or get corrupted data while transferring it. Recruiters have to deal with many such challenges while handling their databases. They want to have a data migration process that is safe and secure. This is why organizations want a smooth data migration. And they look for an ATS that can offer a seamless migration service.

Challenges in Migrating Data

We have best-in-class applicant tracking systems in the market. But they still need an external solution for data migration service. There are many challenges an ATS has to face while migrating data:

• If the data dump is not in a proper format, it is a matter of concern. It can be in different formats like JSON, CSV, XML, etc.
  
  
• Another challenge is that recruiters might get incorrect candidate information, incomplete information, jumbled data, etc. This might add confusion and frustration among the recruiters.
  
  
• Recruiters might lose important data while migrating it.
  
  
• Migrating data often involves technical transition as the data needs to be transferred from hundreds of systems to many other systems.
