Business development that knows about your candidates

THE DETAILS MAKE THE DIFFERENCE

The details that make BD stick

Small things decide whether consultants actually keep their BD in the CRM.

  • Check before adding a profile

    The extension shows if a profile is already a contact or candidate before you add it again.

  • Tasks with reminders

    Call, email, meeting, follow-up and social outreach tasks with due dates and reminder emails.

  • Notes with @mentions

    Hand a warm lead to a colleague with a note that emails them.

  • Two-way email sync

    Gmail and Outlook replies show up on the contact record automatically.

  • Owners on everything

    Companies, contacts and opportunities each have an owner, so pipelines survive staff changes.

  • Tags for segmentation

    Tag companies and contacts by sector, region or tier so the right lists are easy to pull together.

  • Stay in control of social outreach

    Social connection and messaging steps become tasks for you to complete.

  • GDPR consent tracking

    Send consent requests and filter people by consent status before you contact them.

  • Spec-CV ready

    Linked candidates and branded CV packs turn a cold email into a relevant one.

Your client CRM, connected to recruiting

Longlist manages the client relationships you build. It does not include a B2B contact database, hiring-intent signals or lead scoring, and it does not sync with a separate sales CRM.

BD included in every plan

Companies, contacts, opportunities, BD campaigns and email sequences are included on Growth. Plus adds calling and messaging. Compare plans.

FROM THE TEAMS USING LONGLIST

Recruiters, in their own words.

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

Recruitment business development FAQs

Talk to our team
Does Longlist include a database of companies and contacts?

No. You build your own client database. The extension can look up contact details on supported profiles through connected data providers.

Can outreach sequences automate calls and messages?

Only emails send automatically. Calls, social outreach, SMS and WhatsApp steps create tasks for the recruiter.

How do opportunities work in Longlist?

Track a potential client deal with its value, openings, owner, close dates and linked candidates, from first conversation to won or lost.

Can I call, text or WhatsApp clients from Longlist?

Yes, on Plus. Call or message from the contact record and keep the conversation history with it. Calls are logged, not recorded.

Does Longlist integrate with HubSpot or Salesforce?

No. Longlist is designed to manage client relationships alongside your ATS. A limited API can create candidates and opportunities.
