THE DETAILS MAKE THE DIFFERENCE

What to check before you buy recruitment agency software

Common buyer questions, answered.

Clients and candidates in one database?
Yes. Companies, contacts, opportunities, jobs and candidates are linked records.
Is CV parsing extra?
No. AI CV parsing is free on every plan, including bulk uploads of 50 files at a time.
Does it work with my inbox?
Two-way sync with Gmail and Outlook/Office 365. Emails log to the right record, with optional open and click tracking.
Can it chase people for me?
Email sequences send automatically, stop on reply and flag bounces. Other channels become tasks.
Where do jobs get posted?
Your own careers page, Google for Jobs, a Careerjet feed and Indeed apply-by-email. It isn't a multiposter for paid boards.
GDPR?
Send consent requests, track requested/allowed/denied/expired status with auto-expiry, filter by consent and delete records on request.
Team permissions?
Owner, admin and member roles for the account; recruiters and account managers on each job as its members.
Can managers see activity?
User, client, BD and job reports with drill-down. Custom dashboards on Plus.
How painful is switching?
The Longlist team migrates your data for free: Bullhorn, CSV exports, bulk CVs.

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

Growth starts at $47/user/month billed annually, or $59 monthly. Plus adds calling and messaging. Compare plans.

How long does it take to move from Bullhorn or spreadsheets?

Our team handles migration for free. Send your exports and CV files; we map, import and check the records with you.
