Good company. Great recruiting teams.
Longlist or Recruiterflow: the short answer
Pick Longlist if your team wants email sequences, a BD pipeline and calling on a lower seat price, and you can live without a client portal. Recruiterflow suits firms that share live dashboards with clients, post to Indeed and LinkedIn from the ATS, or plan to buy its AIRA agents. The trade-off is price against those extras.

Your Recruiterflow data comes with you
Send us your Recruiterflow 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
Leaving Recruiterflow
Our team runs the import for free. Recruiterflow's own export leaves out some files, so plan for that first.
- 01
Export your records to Excel
An admin can export candidates, contacts and companies to .xlsx from Advanced Search. Recruiterflow's export guide says that file holds record data only, without resumes, attachments or notes.
- 02
Ask Recruiterflow for resumes and notes
Request the resume files, attachments and notes separately, and ask whether any fee applies. Send us whatever you receive.
- 03
List your sequences and automations
Sequences, automation rules and client portal shares don't travel in a data file. Note the ones your team still uses so you can rebuild them as Longlist sequences.
- 04
Time the switch around your contract
Recruiterflow's pricing FAQ mentions contracts and multi-year Custom Plans. Find your renewal date and notice terms before you pick a go-live day.
Is Longlist cheaper than Recruiterflow?
Yes, per seat. Recruiterflow Platform is $149/user/month. Longlist Growth is $47 billed annually or $59 monthly, and Plus is $65 or $79. See pricing.
Does Longlist have AI agents like AIRA?
No. Longlist uses AI to parse CVs and to draft first-touch emails that you edit and send. It doesn't take meeting notes, rank candidates or act on records by itself.
Can clients log in to Longlist?
No. Longlist has no client portal. You send a branded CV pack from your connected inbox, and the email is logged on the contact record.
Will my resumes come across from Recruiterflow?
Yes, once we have the files. The Advanced Search export covers record data only, so ask Recruiterflow for resumes and attachments. We parse each CV into the matching candidate.
Can we try Longlist before we cancel Recruiterflow?
Yes. The trial runs 14 days with no card, and paid plans come with a 30-day refund.
