Why an in-house ATS doesn't fit agency recruiting

Run every client’s jobs from one shared workspace. Longlist connects candidates, hiring contacts, shortlists and placements, with the recruitment CRM built in.

See who has replied, who is interested, and where to focus next.

TAKE IT FOR A SPIN

One job. Every next step.

From opening the role to recording the placement. Explore the workflow.

See it with your team

Open the job

Keep open roles, owners and hiring progress in one view, so the team knows what needs attention.

Work the shortlist

Move candidates through the job pipeline, with replies and qualification details close at hand.

Send a branded CV pack

Build a client-ready submission from the candidate profile, with your agency branding and recommendation.

Record the placement

Log the placement, start date and billing details when the candidate accepts.

A pipeline that already speaks agency

Move candidates from Review through outreach, CV submission, interviews and offers to Joined. Drag individual cards or move a shortlist in bulk.

Every job uses the same fixed stages, so activity reports stay consistent across recruiters and clients. Archive reasons help explain where candidates drop out.

THE DETAILS MAKE THE DIFFERENCE

What the Longlist ATS covers

The day-to-day features recruiters actually use on a live job, included on every plan.

  • Seven job types

    Permanent, Contract, Temp, Contract-on-Hire, Internship, Remote and Campus, with status Active, On Hold, Fulfilled or Archived.

  • Job teams and visibility

    Assign recruiters and account managers to each job. Restrict job visibility by team when desks shouldn't see each other's roles.

  • Kanban with bulk moves

    Drag and drop one candidate or move a whole selection to the next stage in one action.

  • Archive reasons

    Rejected, Not Interested, Not Available, Not A Match or Ignored, so nobody disappears from a shortlist without a reason.

  • Applicants in Review

    Careers page and Indeed applicants arrive in the Review stage with a parsed CV, and the recruiter gets an email alert.

  • Interview invites with RSVP

    Calendar invites to the candidate and client contacts, with accept/decline tracking, updates and cancellations.

  • Placement records

    Fee, salary, bill and pay rates with currency and frequency, start and end dates, and the placement team.

  • Full timeline

    Stage moves, emails, calls, SMS, notes and files on the candidate and job, with @mentions and reminders.

  • Search by pipeline stage

    Find everyone at Interviewing or CV Sent across all jobs, alongside keyword, skills, location and tag filters.

  • Stage-change notifications

    Email notifications on stage changes and new applicants, so account managers know when a CV goes out.

  • Pipeline reports

    CVs sent, interviews, offers, time-in-stage, open pipeline by client and archive reasons by client, with drill-down.

  • Duplicate protection

    Candidates are deduplicated by email and LinkedIn URL, so the same person isn't on three jobs as three records.

ATS and CRM in one system, not two

Open a client to see their contacts, jobs and opportunities. Open a candidate to see every assignment and conversation. Your business development and delivery teams work from the same records.

Built for perm, contract and temp desks

Run permanent, contract and temp jobs together. Record salary and fee details for permanent placements, or bill and pay rates for contract placements. Keep timesheets, payroll and invoicing in your back-office system.

FROM THE TEAMS USING LONGLIST

What agencies say about Longlist

Chris Byrne · Head of Delivery, Marsh RPF

Growing the business

I could say we have seen more than a 20% increase without any additional overhead.

Our business has gone up a lot, and there are two reasons for that. One – the database that we were able to build in quick succession allowed us to promptly reach out to candidates and clients.

Second, I feel more confident that we have all the new technology for recruitment at our disposal.

Brad Chapman · Managing Director, TechSearch360

Getting started

Longlist.io team has been a great support to us from the first day of the launch.

They understood straight away what a newly formed recruitment business would need and helped me to set up my recruitment processes to create candidate and client leads.

Matthew Edge-Wilkins · MD, Talent Seeker

Empowering the team

As the founder of TalentSeeker, integrating Longlist has been transformative.

It's not just about efficiency gains; it's about empowering our team to make smarter decisions and provide exceptional service to our clients and candidates.

LET’S CLEAR A FEW THINGS UP

Applicant tracking system FAQs

Talk to our team
Can I customise the pipeline stages?

Pipeline stages are fixed across jobs, giving your team a consistent process and comparable reporting. Custom stages per client are not currently supported.

Can clients log in to review candidates?

There is no client portal. Send branded CV packs by email and record client feedback on the job pipeline.

How much does Longlist's ATS cost?

The ATS is included on every plan, with unlimited open jobs. Growth starts at $47/user/month billed annually. Compare plans.

Can you migrate our data from our current ATS?

Yes. Our team migrates your candidates, contacts and CVs for free, using exports from your current system.

Does it sync with Google Calendar or Outlook Calendar?

Interview invitations work with standard calendars and track RSVPs. Calendar sync is not two-way; Gmail and Outlook email sync is.
