What is recruitment software?
Recruitment software is a broad umbrella category that includes all the technology staffing and recruiting professionals use to run their business.

What recruiting software do I need?
It depends on the goals and challenges of your specific business. Regardless of your firm’s specific needs, an ATS/CRM is a safe bet; it’s the core of any staffing firm’s operations. Seven out of eight recruiters say an ATS is integral to their ability to find and place candidates.
Additionally, a good ATS will integrate with any other solutions you use to run your business, now or in the future.
As for other solutions, it helps to identify your businesses top priorities. Here are some common priorities:
Candidate Sourcing: A report of 2,100 recruiting professionals found that candidate acquisition is the top priority for 2021 and candidate sourcing is the biggest recruiting lifecycle challenge. If this sounds like you, you might want to consider recruiting automation to streamline workflows, job board solutions, and of course, your core ATS.
Managing Payroll and Billing: Inaccurate paychecks or invoices are the fastest way to lose a client. We know how important reputation is for sustaining a healthy, long-term staffing business, and your ability to quickly and accurately process time for pay/bill is what lays the foundation for lasting, positive business relationships.
