Recruitment CRM manages companies, contacts, deals, follow-ups, and jobs.
Candidate submission and client portal workflows support external hiring-manager decisions.
AI matching, parsing, and CV formatting speed up shortlist creation.
Agency reports show recruiter productivity, client activity, pipeline health, and placement movement.
Best fit by team type
Accessible hiring software and AI-supported job workflows may be enough.
Structured hiring, integrations, and governance are likely higher priorities.
The workflow starts with clients and ends with placements, not just internal hires.
Internal hiring and agency delivery may need different workflow systems.
