This page is the overview for executive search teams evaluating ATZ CRM. It connects the major workflow paths: CRM relationship history, ATS assignment stages, headhunter sourcing, retained mandate visibility, and broader executive recruiting software evaluation. ### Use this hub when you want to compare - **CRM workflow:** Client accounts, candidate relationship history, outreach notes, follow-ups, and mandate context. - **ATS workflow:** Research, contacted, interested, screened, shortlisted, client interview, offer, placed, and nurture stages. - **Sourcing workflow:** Profile capture, passive outreach, candidate notes, LinkedIn and WhatsApp touchpoints, and shortlist preparation. - **Retained search workflow:** Mandates, target-company maps, longlists, shortlists, client update inputs, partner review, and reporting. For specialist needs such as leadership assessment, reference checking, compensation benchmarking, retainer accounting, payroll, or board advisory, use dedicated tools alongside ATZ CRM. ATZ CRM should be evaluated as the recruiting ATS and CRM workspace. ## Frequently Asked Questions Common questions about choosing the right executive-search workflow ### Why keep an executive search hub if there are separate CRM and ATS pages? The hub helps visitors choose the right workflow before they go deeper. Some teams need relationship history, some need candidate stage control, some need retained mandate visibility, and some are comparing executive recruiting software as a category. ### Which page should I read if I need relationship tracking? Start with Executive Search CRM. That page focuses on client accounts, executive candidate records, outreach history, follow-ups, longlists, shortlists, and reusable relationship context. ### Which page should I read if I need assignment stage tracking? Start with Executive Search ATS. That page focuses on search stages such as research, contacted, interested, screened, shortlisted, client interview, offer, placed, and nurture. ### Does ATZ CRM replace specialist retained-search finance or assessment tools? No. ATZ CRM supports the recruiting ATS and CRM layer: mandates, candidates, clients, outreach, pipelines, follow-ups, reporting, and migration. It should not be positioned as specialist retainer accounting, leadership assessment, reference-checking, compensation benchmarking, payroll, or board advisory software. ## How We Compare See how ATZ CRM stacks up against other recruitment platforms ### ATZ CRM vs **Bullhorn** ### ATZ CRM vs **JobAdder** ### ATZ CRM vs **Vincere** ### ATZ CRM vs **Recruitee** ### ATZ CRM vs **Recruiterflow** ### ATZ CRM vs **Manatal** ### See ATZ CRM in action - book a 30-minute call with our team.
