The numbers on this page come from the inputs you enter and the method stated: 3,600 seconds to an hour, 52 weeks to a year, twelve months to a year, and nothing else. No industry shrinkage figure, no occupancy benchmark and no assumption about your attrition; every one of those is yours to enter.
The best recruitment CRM is the one whose record matches how you actually earn, and for a small agency that means it holds the client and the fee terms as seriously as it holds the candidate. A contingency desk making twelve placements a year at $18,000 is a $216,000 business in which $4,438 of fee sits inside a rebate window at any moment and $17,753 is waiting on payment terms; a CRM that tracks conversations but not those terms cannot tell you which client is profitable. This page walks the four things to judge before a demo: what it holds about a client, whether it connects the placement to the fee, whether it can produce your pipeline conversion from your own data, and what happens to it all when you leave. The free sheets on this site work the underlying figures with no account.

Judge it on the client record, not the candidate one
Every product in this category holds candidates. The differences show up in whether a client carries its fee percentage, its rebate period and its payment terms, and whether a placement inherits them automatically.
Connect the placement to the money
A placement that does not carry its fee is a note. Ask how the system would tell you what is invoiced, what is inside rebate and what is overdue, because those three answers are the agency's cash position.
Check the exit before the entry
Ask what an export contains and how long you keep access after cancelling. An agency's client list and placement history is the business; a CRM you cannot leave owns it.

Best recruitment crm: common questions
Is a recruitment CRM different from an ATS? They overlap. The ATS is organised around the req and the applicants against it; the CRM is organised around the client and the relationship that produces reqs. Small agencies need both and usually buy one product that does each half adequately.
Do I need one if I place a dozen roles a year? Maybe not, and that is a fair answer for a vendor's site to give. At twelve placements the spreadsheet holds up; what breaks first is usually the rebate and terms tracking, which the contingency agreement sheet on this site will do for free.
What should it cost? Per-seat products in this category commonly start around $19 per user per month on monthly billing (Manatal Professional, manatal.com/pricing, read 4 September 2026). Reqnix Pro is $189 a month flat for the whole desk, which is the same money at around ten seats and cheaper above it.
