Upgrade from Voyager Infinity: A Better Way to Recruit with Atlas

Voyager Infinity has been a trusted system for many recruitment agencies over the years. It has helped teams manage candidate records, track activity, and deliver on client expectations. For many agencies, it has been a familiar and reliable part of daily operations.

But as your agency grows, your processes evolve, and competition intensifies, you may start to feel that Voyager Infinity is no longer keeping up. Recruiters today expect automation to reduce admin, business development tools to drive revenue, and smarter search that makes placements faster.

At the same time, the idea of switching CRMs can feel daunting. Years of candidate data, client notes, placements, and attachments sit inside your current system, and the risk of losing something important can make migration feel high-stakes.

The good news is that moving to Atlas does not have to be disruptive. Atlas offers a structured, low-risk migration process designed for live recruitment businesses. Once on Atlas, agencies gain a platform that combines intuitive candidate search, advanced business development pipelines, and agentic AI features like a native notetaker that captures consultant activity automatically.

How recruiters’ needs have moved beyond Voyager Infinity

Voyager Infinity has supported agencies for a long time, especially when it comes to handling core recruitment workflows. For many teams, it provided the structure needed to get started and stay organised.

But recruitment has changed, and many users can’t recommend Voyager Infinity anymore. Agencies today face higher client expectations, more competitive markets, and a greater need to run leaner operations. What once worked well can start to feel restrictive when speed, insight, and automation become business-critical.

Recruitment leaders often begin looking at Atlas when they need:

• Smarter business development tools
  Winning and expanding client relationships is harder without clear visibility of every deal, pipeline, and follow-up. Atlas makes business development a core part of the CRM, giving agencies the ability to track opportunities alongside candidates and jobs in one place.
• Intuitive candidate search
  Recruiters cannot afford to spend time digging through filters or spreadsheets. Atlas uses structured data and AI-enhanced search to surface the right candidates quickly, helping teams reduce time-to-place and improve consultant productivity.
• AI-powered workflows that reduce admin
  Atlas is built with agentic AI features that actively work alongside recruiters. The native notetaker captures consultant calls and meetings automatically, reducing manual input and making sure valuable insights are never lost.

Switching to Atlas is less about leaving Voyager Infinity behind and more about preparing your agency for the next stage of growth with tools that are designed for today’s market.

The realities of migrating from Voyager Infinity

Shifting years of recruiter activity, candidate records, and client data is never as simple as exporting a file and plugging it into a new system. Voyager Infinity stores information in a way that has worked well for agencies over time, but those structures can introduce complexities when it comes to migration.

Custom rules and fields need careful mapping

Every agency configures Voyager Infinity a little differently, adding custom fields, workflows, and tags to match their processes. These need to be translated correctly into Atlas to ensure recruiters do not lose visibility or consistency.

Historic activity must be preserved during data migration

Candidate and client notes, interviews, and communications often hold as much value as the records themselves. Migrating this history accurately is vital to keeping recruiters informed and productive.

Recruitment agencies’ attachments are tied to the workflow

CVs, compliance checks, contracts, and client agreements are usually attached to records in Voyager Infinity. If these files are not carried over and properly linked, consultants face unnecessary admin and potential compliance risks.

Data quality issues become visible when moving to a new CRM

Over time, duplicates, outdated contacts, and incomplete records accumulate. If not cleaned before or during migration, these issues carry forward into Atlas and slow consultants down.

Downtime is a concern when moving away from Voyager software

Recruiters cannot afford to lose access to live data. Without the right approach, a system cutover can cause disruption to placements and client service.

These challenges are not unique to Voyager Infinity, but they do highlight why migration should be managed with care. The right process ensures your data is preserved, your workflows remain intact, and your team can continue billing without interruption.

Migrating from Voyager Infinity to Atlas: 6 steps to upgrade your workflow

Step 1: Export your Voyager Infinity data

We begin by securing your data export from Voyager Infinity. This often includes CSV files or a database backup, possibly with separate folders for attachments. Whether your provider gives you a download link or FTP access, send over the files or login credentials and we’ll take care of the technical handling.

You won’t need to manage the file formats or setupwe’ll handle it for you.

Step 2: Unpacking and organizing your export

Once we receive your data, we load it into our Amazon Redshift environment. This structured setup lets us explore your recordscandidates, jobs, companies, activities, and documentsin a live, queryable format.

We review everything to understand how Voyager Infinity structured your data and identify any inconsistencies or fields needing cleanup before we move forward.

Step 3: Field mapping between Voyager and Atlas

Using our Migration Dashboard, you’ll review your current data alongside suggested mappings into the Atlas model. We’ll offer recommendations based on the structure of your Voyager Infinity export, but you’ll have full control to adjust and confirm.

Whether you’re mapping standard fields or handling custom workflows, our team is here to guide and document the process clearly so nothing is missed.

Step 4: Transforming and aligning your records

With mappings finalized, we transform your data using DBT. This involves normalizing values, correcting inconsistencies, cleaning timestamps, and ensuring data formats match Atlas standards.

Each transformation is trackable and testable. You’ll always know what’s been adjusted and why it was necessary.

Step 5: Quality checks and staging review

After transformation, we run a full round of automated QA tests. These identify issues like missing fields, mismatched formats, and duplicate entries. Our AI tools also scan for outliers or anomalies that require extra attention.

Once cleared, your data is deployed into a staging version of Atlas. You’ll walk through a review checklist to confirm everything displays correctly. Any changes or questions are tracked and resolved collaboratively.

Step 6: Go live with confidence

When staging is approved, your Voyager Infinity data is moved into the live Atlas platform. If you’re already using Atlas, we merge your new data with care. If you’re new to the platform, staging becomes your clean production system.

We wrap up the process by importing and linking documents, indexing everything for search, and confirming that your team is ready to go. Your data is now fully live and usable in Atlas, with no disruption to your day-to-day operations.

Simpler recruitment powered by an intuitive ATS

The combination of modern design, automation, and easy-to-use workflows leads to higher adoption rates. Consultants are more likely to log activity, which means leaders get better reporting and clients get a more consistent experience.
