What’s the top recruitment CRM for small agencies in 2025?

I operate a small recruitment agency, and our reliance on spreadsheets for managing candidates and client interactions is no longer sustainable. I’m exploring options like Bullhorn, Gem, and Loxo, but I’m uncertain which would be the best choice for a small team on a budget.

We’re looking for features that include:

• Candidate tracking and outreach functionality.

• Reporting tools to keep clients informed.

• Seamless integration with LinkedIn or email platforms.

What CRM are you using for recruitment? Are there any standout options for small agencies that you’d recommend? I’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences!

Not hearing back from a recruiter that wanted to schedule an interview?

Not hearing back from a recruiter who wanted to schedule an interview?

Hey everyone, I applied to a well-known company at the end of November through their online application system, which tracks the status of my application. Since I noticed no updates, I reached out to the main recruiter last Monday. To my surprise, he responded a few hours later, inviting me for an interview and asking for my availability for this week. I replied within an hour with my available times, but since then, I haven’t heard anything.

Now that it’s the start of the new week when the interview was supposed to happen, what should I do next? Should I send a follow-up email, or since I found him on LinkedIn, would it be appropriate to message him there? Or should I just wait a little longer?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Edit: I remembered that I followed up with an email the day after, clarifying my availability.

TOB UK X US

Hello everyone!

I’m in the process of obtaining standard permanent Terms of Business for my agency in the UK, aimed at working with clients in the US.

While I’ve successfully negotiated terms with domestic clients during my time at various agencies both in the US and the UK, this will be my first experience with cross-border agreements.

I know many businesses operate this way, so I’m curious: what key considerations should I keep in mind when drafting these terms or when purchasing a template contract?

Thanks in advance!

AI-Powered ATS: A Double-Edged Sword

We’ve been utilizing AI-driven ATS systems for some time now, and while they excel at managing large numbers of applicants, they’ve also introduced significant challenges.

Many candidates are using AI tools to tailor their resumes to align perfectly with job descriptions, focusing on optimizing keyword matches. This often leads to their applications being flagged as ideal candidates. However, when it comes to interviews, it becomes clear that they frequently lack the genuine skills and experience needed for the role.

This has created a frustrating situation for us. While the volume of applicants has increased, the quality of candidates has noticeably declined.

What has your experience been with AI sourcing or ATS tools?

Seeking Your Insights for a New Hiring Platform

Hello everyone,

I’m in the process of developing a new platform designed to enhance the connection between job seekers and recruiters, facilitating a more personalized and efficient hiring experience. My aim is to tackle common challenges and create a solution that benefits both parties in the hiring process.

I would greatly appreciate your feedback, especially if you’re a recruiter or talent acquisition professional. Here are a few questions to consider:

  1. What are the biggest challenges or frustrations you encounter when sourcing, connecting with, or hiring candidates?
  2. Are there any specific tools or features that you feel are missing from existing job boards or platforms?
  3. Would you find value in a platform that focuses on connecting you with job seekers who have been pre-screened or matched to your criteria?
  4. How important are aspects such as transparent communication, candidate preparation, or insights into their expectations?

Your input will be crucial as I refine this concept. I’m here to clarify any details or answer questions you may have.

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts!

Job Opportunity: Temp Recruiter Needed

I’m seeking a temporary recruiter to help me out for a few months. I have four months of LinkedIn credits to utilize and some established client relationships, but I’m short on time to handle the recruiting process myself. If you’re interested in a 1099 recruiting position while you search for something more permanent, I’d love to connect and discuss further.

Hey everyone,

I currently use VOIP on my PC for calls and a separate mobile number for when I’m on the go, using apps like WhatsApp. I’m looking to streamline this to a single mobile phone number that I can use both at my desk and while traveling. Is this possible? Any suggestions?
