When another tool may fit better
Recruiting ATS is built for boutique agencies. It doesn't do these things today:
- More than 10 seats in the online plan (email us if you need more)
- Timesheets or payroll for contractors
- Job board posting or a public careers page
- Automated email sequences for outreach
- An app interface in languages other than English
If you need any of these, ask Recruit CRM whether they're included in the plan you'd buy.
Switching to Recruiting ATS
Export your data from Recruit CRM to CSV or Excel, then import candidates, clients, jobs and pipeline rows into Recruiting ATS and map the columns. There's no one-click importer for a specific ATS, so plan a short clean-up of your files first.
