Recruiting CRM/ATS with built-in sourcing
Editorial profile, researched and maintained by this directory from public sources — product documentation, vendor materials, review platforms, and practitioner reports. Recruit CRM has not reviewed or verified this page.
Estimated annual spend, placed against the broader market. Numbers are directional; final pricing depends on seats, contract length, add-ons, and negotiation.
Published per-user monthly pricing across tiers, with annual discounts and a free trial — among the most transparent in agency software. Total cost for a small agency runs a fraction of enterprise ATS contracts.
Budget separately for sourcing data: with no native database, you'll pair it with LinkedIn (or a low-cost enrichment tool like ContactOut) for candidate supply.

Small and mid-size recruiting agencies that want a simple combined ATS/CRM. Recruit CRM is an ATS/CRM for recruitment agencies with candidate sourcing via a Chrome extension, resume parsing, email sequencing, and client/deal management. It competes on simplicity and transparent pricing rather than database scale.
Recruit CRM is ATS + CRM for recruiting agencies with a philosophy of simplicity: published per-user monthly pricing, a free trial, fast onboarding, and a feature set that covers the agency workflow — jobs, candidates, clients, deals — without enterprise sprawl. Its Chrome extension sources candidates from LinkedIn into the ATS, and built-in email sequencing covers basic outreach.
It has become a default choice for small agencies globally (it's particularly strong outside the US) because the total cost is transparent and low, and the product does the 80% that matters without training overhead. Reviews consistently praise support responsiveness.
Limits are honest ones: no native talent database (you source from LinkedIn and job boards), lighter automation than Loxo or SourceWhale, and reporting that covers agency basics rather than deep analytics. It's the right tool when simplicity and price certainty beat feature depth.
| Capability | What it looks like in Recruit CRM |
|---|---|
| ATS + CRM | Jobs, candidates, clients, and deals in one clean agency workflow. |
| Chrome extension | Source LinkedIn profiles directly into the ATS with parsing. |
| Email sequencing | Built-in multi-step outreach with templates and tracking. |
