Request for Feedback on New Recruitment CRM and ATS
Hello everyone,
My team and I are excited to share that we are in the process of developing a new recruitment tool, and we’re about to launch the first phase. We would love to get your input!
To give you an overview, our app is primarily a recruitment CRM, with plans to integrate an applicant tracking system (ATS) shortly after launch. Our main goal is to create a user-friendly platform that can be easily accessed on mobile devices, though it won’t be a traditional phone app. In the next phase, we aim to incorporate features for managing temporary and contract workers, including timesheet submissions for approval. Once we have these core functionalities in place, we’ll turn our focus to automation.
Having worked as a contractor with numerous recruitment agencies, I’ve often been surprised by the outdated and overly complex systems they use, frequently facing downtimes. This inspired the development of our app.
We plan to target smaller agencies initially, with the goal of expanding to larger organizations as we roll out complex reporting features. We’re considering offering a three-month trial period, with a pricing structure around $40 USD per user (final pricing TBD).
We would greatly appreciate your thoughts on the following:
1. Is there interest in a tool like this?
2. Does our pricing model seem appropriate?
Thank you for your feedback!

It’s great to hear that you’re developing a new recruitment CRM! The focus on simplicity, mobile usability, and a phased approach with additional features sounds promising, especially given the frustrations you’ve encountered with existing systems.
To answer your questions:
Appetite for the App: There is definitely a demand for user-friendly recruitment tools, particularly among smaller agencies that may struggle with outdated systems. Many agencies are looking for solutions that streamline processes and are easy to navigate. Emphasizing the mobile-friendly aspect can also attract users who need to manage recruitment on-the-go. Engaging with potential users through surveys or focus groups might provide more solid insight into their specific needs and pain points.
Pricing Structure: The proposed pricing of $40/user/month seems reasonable, especially for smaller agencies that may be looking for cost-effective solutions. A three-month trial is a smart idea—it allows users to explore the app without financial commitment, which can help build trust and showcase its value. Once you gather feedback from early adopters, you may want to adjust pricing based on their responses and the value they find in your features.
Overall, conducting more market research and gathering input from potential users will be key to validating your assumptions and refining your offering before launch. Good luck with your project!
