Job requests arrive without structure
Clients may send role requirements through calls, emails, or spreadsheets, leaving recruiters to reconstruct the actual job order.

Client Portal Workflow for Recruitment Agencies
A recruitment client portal is the workflow layer where agency clients can submit job requisitions, view shared jobs, review submitted candidates, update allowed stages, add feedback, and collaborate without needing internal ATS access.
This page maps how a client portal should run operationally: invite the right contacts, control portal access, collect job requisitions, review and approve demand, share jobs and candidates, capture feedback, update the recruiting pipeline, and monitor client responsiveness.
Search intent
Clients need controlled collaboration, not another email thread
Competitor pages usually frame client portals as sharing, status visibility, approvals, and hiring-manager feedback. ATZ CRM can rank by explaining the full workflow: portal access, requisition intake, shared job visibility, candidate review, feedback controls, and how client actions update the agency pipeline.
Candidate feedback gets lost in email
Hiring-manager feedback often lives outside the ATS, making it difficult to update candidate stages or understand why a shortlist stalled.
Clients see too much or too little
Agencies need to share enough candidate and job detail for useful decisions while protecting internal notes and sensitive data.
Process-led workflow
How a recruitment client portal should run inside an agency
The client portal workflow should reduce back-and-forth while keeping recruiters in control of access, shared fields, candidate stages, and pipeline updates.
