WHO WE ARE

The people behind your data.

Our Story

Data Migrator began with a single migration. Our founder, Gerald Morgan, moved his own recruitment business onto a new system, and the software house was so impressed they asked him to do the same for their clients.

Today we’re a trusted partner to software houses, agencies and in-house teams around the world.

Our Approach

Technology moves data. Experience knows what matters. Our purpose-built automation keeps every project efficient and consistent, while our people bring the judgement, care and white-glove service that make the difference.

Deep industry knowledge. Human expertise, every step of the way.

Our Vision

We want every recruitment business to see its data as an asset, not a headache.

Our aim is to be the first name recruitment and HR businesses think of whenever their data needs moving, improving, extracting, storing or something entirely new.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Everything you need to know before you start.

Can’t see your question?

Every data project is different, so if your question isn’t covered here, our team is happy to talk it through.

Which recruitment systems do you work with?

We have detailed technical knowledge of over 150 recruitment software systems, including CRM, ATS, Payroll and Membership systems, and have worked with bespoke and legacy systems too. If you don’t see yours listed, just ask.

How much does a data migration cost?

Every project is different, so we analyse your data first and then provide a fixed-cost quote, so you know exactly where you stand before any work begins.

Do I need technical knowledge to work with you?

No. We can often work from a native backup of your current system, so you avoid a complicated manual export. We handle the technical work and explain any steps we need from you.

Can you migrate data from more than one system?

Yes. We can combine data from several systems into one new database, helping you bring everything together in one place.

How do you work with my software provider or implementation consultant?

We often work as an embedded part of a software provider’s migration team, and also directly with recruitment businesses. We agree up front exactly which parts we’ll handle, so everyone knows who is doing what.

Can you clean up my data during the migration?

Yes. Our data enhancement options include de-duping records, record consolidation, merging objects, and validating addresses and emails, so you can make a fresh start with better-quality data.

What if my new system doesn’t have a direct import route?

Where a direct route isn’t available, we can prepare CSV files or spreadsheets in the exact format your destination system needs, provided a suitable standard importer is available.

Can you extract my data without a full migration?

Yes. We can extract your data into a usable format such as Excel or CSV for reporting, data analysis, marketing or moving a subset of data to a new system.

What happens to our old data after we move?

Our data storage solutions can keep it secure and accessible, from regular backups and SQL database storage to cloud-based backup and live access, tailored to your requirements.
