Recruitment CRM

Recruitment CRM means different things depending on who you ask. For a solo headhunter it might be a simple contact manager that logs emails automatically. For a Fortune 500 talent team it might be a platform that nurtures 500,000 passive candidates with segmented drip campaigns. We tested 11 tools across that entire spectrum to find the ones that actually help recruiters build and maintain candidate relationships at scale.

Most recruitment CRMs are not recruitment CRMs. They are sales CRMs with the word 'recruitment' pasted over 'deals' in the navigation. I tested 11 platforms over three weeks - importing the same 200-contact candidate list into each one, running outreach sequences, and tracking how many clicks it took to move a passive candidate from first touch to interview scheduled.
