Before you choose
Compare plan options
Check the Free plan and Paid from fields before shortlisting a tool. A free plan and a free trial serve different purposes, so look for the option that matches your buying process.
A pricing-on-request note means the maker does not publish a starting price.
Match your working platforms
Recruitment CRMs on this list run on web, API, iOS, Android, extensions or Windows. Match those options to the devices and systems your team uses.
If mobile work matters, check the Mobile app field and the listed platform support.
Check recruiting workflow tools
Compare Email campaigns, Workflow automation and Candidate sourcing support. These fields show how a tool can fit outreach and recruiting tasks.
Look for the functions your process needs instead of assuming a plan includes them.
Review records and ATS links
Talent pool limit indicates how many candidate records a plan can hold. Compare that limit with your recruiting pipeline.
ATS integration can affect how a recruitment CRM connects with an applicant tracking system.
Consider open-source code
Open-source code is available from items on this list. If code access matters to your team, check for that offering when comparing tools.
