Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.2
GPA, above 6 of the 14 other hiring and applicant tracking tools we grade
Recruit CRM is an applicant tracker and client CRM made for recruitment agencies and executive search firms rather than for in-house hiring. It keeps candidates, client contacts, jobs and placements together, and AI agents format resumes, write submissions and pitch candidates to clients. Sourcing, data enrichment, job posting and texting draw on a shared pool of credits.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Recruit CRM, taken from its own pages and our grades.
No App Store rating on record, and credits for sourcing, posting and texting take some working out.
- 1
Best for recruitment agencies placing candidates
It even turns contractors' timesheets into invoices.
- 2
Paid plans start at $95 a month for each person
As its pricing page puts it: $95 per user / month, billed annually ($109 billed monthly).
- 3
You can try it first
30-day free trial
- 4
It runs on 3 platforms
Web, iOS and Android, with a browser extension too.
- 5
ATS and client CRM
Candidates, client companies, contacts, jobs and placements in one system, with hotlists, talent pools and a kanban pipeline.
- 6
AI agents
Agents parse custom fields from resumes, build client-ready submissions, write candidate pitch emails and, from Business, reformat resumes in your branding.
- 7
Sourcing and enrichment
A Chrome extension adds profiles from LinkedIn and the web; AI search of 800M+ profiles and contact enrichment use credits.
- 8
A 2.2 GPA, above 6 of 14
That is against the other hiring and applicant tracking tools we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.
- 9
Keep it
To replace Recruit CRM you would be making jobs posted to dozens of job boards at once, which takes an agreement with each board. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.

The report card
Best for recruitment agencies placing candidates
Recruit CRM is made for agencies: candidates, clients, jobs and placements in one place, with AI agents that write submissions and pitch candidates to clients. It even turns contractors' timesheets into invoices. But at $95 a user a month, it's the dearest per seat of the tools it's listed beside.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | D | Graded against the agency tools it's listed beside. Pro is $95 a user a month on yearly billing ($109 monthly), so ten users is $950. That buys 100 credits a user, unlimited jobs and the AI submission agents, but it's the dearest per seat of the lot. |
| Free plan and trial | C | No free plan, but a 30-day free trial, which is long for this category. |
| Features | B | Candidates, clients, jobs and placements together, AI agents for submissions and pitches, sourcing, sequences over email, LinkedIn and WhatsApp, and timesheets that flow into invoices. The whole agency job, with contractor billing on top. |
| Ease of use | C | No App Store rating on record, and credits for sourcing, posting and texting take some working out. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web, iPhone, Android and a Chrome extension, with LinkedIn, Gmail, Outlook, Zoom, Teams, Zapier and Broadbean, and an open API on Business. No desktop app. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Recruit CRM is for
- Great if you place candidates with clients and bill for contractors' hours
- Handy when you source most of your candidates from LinkedIn
- Good for agencies that want AI drafting submissions and pitch emails
Who it is not for
- Not for you if you're hiring your own staff, as it's built for agencies
- Tight if you run more than one pipeline, as Pro allows 1
- Pricey if your whole team needs a seat, at $95 each a month
Good to know
Good for
- Recruitment agencies and executive search firms placing candidates with clients
- Contract staffing firms that bill clients for contractors' hours
- Agencies that source heavily from LinkedIn
Worth knowing
- Built for agencies placing candidates with clients, not for a company hiring its own staff.
- AI sourcing, data enrichment, job posting, texting, calling, workflow automation and analytics all use credits from a shared pool; more can be bought.
- Pro allows 1 hiring pipeline, 15 custom fields, 1 mailbox per user and 1 outreach sequence.
- Timesheets use credits for each active contractor every month, and the Recruit Craft website builder is priced separately except on Enterprise.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace Recruit CRM you would be making jobs posted to dozens of job boards at once, which takes an agreement with each board. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It costs $1,140 a year.
What you could make
- Applicant tracking and time tracking: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Jobs posted to dozens of job boards at once, which takes an agreement with each board.
- An AI agent, with the models and the safeguards behind it.
- Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
- A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. Recruit CRM’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
