Sequences for every recruiter.
Start a sequence from a job stage, with follow-ups sent in the original thread.
A Recruit CRM alternative. Without credits for sequences or CV packs.
Recruit CRM Pro gives you one sequence, and formatting a CV takes the Business plan plus credits. On Longlist Growth, sequences, branded CV packs, parsing and a careers page are part of the seat price.

Recruit CRM or Longlist: who each one suits
Recruit CRM covers more ground, with invoicing, timesheets, client and contractor portals and an external profile search, paid for partly in credits. Longlist covers less but includes its outreach and candidate presentation in the seat price. Pick Recruit CRM for contract billing in one system; pick Longlist if you want a predictable bill for a perm or search desk.

A CLOSER LOOK AT LONGLIST
Included in Growth, metered or tiered in Recruit CRM
The three features that change the most between Recruit CRM's plans.
Where Recruit CRM fits better, and where Longlist does
| Choose Longlist if | Stay with Recruit CRM if |
|---|---|
You'd rather know the monthly bill without tracking a credit balance. | You want invoicing, timesheets and contractor billing in the same system as the CRM. |
Sequences and branded CV packs are daily work and you don't want to pay Business rates for them. | Hiring managers and contractors log in to portals to review candidates and submit time. |
You want a careers page included with the CRM. | Recruiters search 800M+ external profiles and enrich contacts from inside the CRM. |
Recruiters call, text and WhatsApp from the record on Plus. | You want to be billed in GBP, EUR, AUD, CAD, JPY or INR. |

THE DETAILS MAKE THE DIFFERENCE
What pushes agencies off Recruit CRM
AI and automation that cost extra
Reviewers say AI and automation add-ons make Recruit CRM feel overpriced. Longlist's AI CV parsing has no credits or per-CV charges, and sequences are on every plan.
Workflows that are hard to follow
Reviewers mention complex workflows and confusing navigation. Longlist runs each job on a kanban pipeline with a standard stage set from Review to Joined.
Duplicates and parsing errors
Reviewers report buggy search, imprecise CV parsing and weak duplicate detection. Longlist matches existing candidates by email and LinkedIn URL when CVs and applications arrive.
Your Recruit CRM data comes with you
Send us your Recruit CRM export and our team maps and imports your candidates, contacts, companies, jobs, placements, notes and files, then checks it with you before you go live. Migration is free.
PUT IT INTO PRACTICE
Switching from Recruit CRM
Our team handles the migration for free. Recruit CRM lets the account owner export the whole account, which is the place to start.
- 01
Have the account owner export
Owners, admins and custom roles can export list pages to CSV or Excel. The full-account export is limited to the account owner, so ask them to run it and check whether resumes are included.
- 02
Check your billing term
If you pay annually, plan the move for the end of the paid year. Check the notice terms in your Recruit CRM agreement before you cancel.
- 03
Decide where contract billing lives
Invoices and timesheets don't move into Longlist. Export them for your accounting or back-office system; we import contract placements with their bill and pay rates.
- 04
We import and you restart outreach
We map candidates, contacts, companies, deals, jobs, notes and CVs and check for duplicates. You rebuild active sequences and connect your mailbox.
How much does Recruit CRM cost?
Pro is $95 annual / $109 monthly, Business is $135 annual / $159 monthly and Enterprise is $215 annual / $259 monthly per user/month in USD. Each plan includes a monthly credit allowance per user.
What do credits pay for in Recruit CRM?
Texting, calling numbers, multiposting, contact enrichment, AI sourcing, resume formatting and contractor timesheets all draw on credits, according to Recruit CRM's pricing page.

Does Longlist have invoicing or a client portal?
