One workspace for the whole recruiting desk.
RecruiterDesk brings applicant tracking, candidate and client management, and a recruiting CRM into one place. It starts where the work starts, with the client's requirement, and carries it through to a submission you can stand behind. The product does the work; you just confirm.
From a JD to a defensible shortlist, in three steps.
Paste the JD
RecruiterDesk reads it and drafts a weighted fitment checklist. Where the JD is vague, it asks you a couple of quick questions, you answer, and you approve the bar before you source.
Source and score
Every candidate is scored against that checklist, with the reasoning shown. A weak fit is obvious early, and a hard knockout stops a wrong submission before it goes out.
Submit with proof
Send a branded report from your own name, with the scorecard attached, and move the candidate through a clean pipeline to placement.
The requirement, turned into a scorecard.
RecruiterDesk reads the JD and drafts the checklist: weighted must-haves, nice-to-haves and hard knockouts, plus the questions worth asking. You refine it in a short back-and-forth and approve it, so the bar is set before you source. Every score is explainable, and you decide.
- Knockouts gate a weak submission before it reaches the client
- Weighted, explainable scoring, never a silent AI verdict
- Every submission carries its scorecard
Every mandate, every candidate, one view.
Candidates, clients, mandates and pipeline are one connected set of records, not four sheets. Move people through clear stages, submit to the client inline from the pipeline, and never rebuild a status sheet before a client call again.
- One connected record for every client, mandate and candidate
- Submit to the client inline, with the fitment scorecard attached
- Share a no-login review link and get a yes, maybe or pass on each
A sales CRM for the clients you are chasing.
New business runs on the same desk. The Sales CRM is a work queue of prospects, sorted by what is due, so every lead has an owner and a next follow-up with a date. Nothing goes cold for want of a next step, and a won prospect becomes an active client in one move.
- Overdue and due-today follow-ups surfaced first
- An owner and a next action on every prospect
- Won prospects carry their notes straight into delivery
Find anyone you know in seconds, and reuse them.
Every candidate and person you have worked with, searchable by name, skill, employer or location. Add someone before a mandate even opens, and bring a backlog in fast: drop a batch of resumes as PDF, DOCX or a ZIP and each one is read into a record. When a new mandate has a fitment checklist, RecruiterDesk ranks the people already in your pool against it, so your first shortlist can come from candidates you know.
- Suggested matches from your talent pool, ranked by the checklist
- Bulk resume import that parses each CV for you
- Export your records to CSV whenever you want
Every placement and its fee, in one place.
Record a placement at the offered CTC and the fee is worked out from the client's terms, so no one types a number. Placements and net fees are tracked together, and on a team the money side flows into settlements: the client receivable and each recruiter's payout, ready to confirm.
- Fees derived from the client's commercial terms
- Placements and net fees in one view
- Settlements draft the receivable and the payout

For agenciesWhat is RecruiterDesk, in short?
What is RecruiterDesk?
RecruiterDesk is recruitment software for independent recruiters and boutique agencies. It runs clients, mandates, candidates, pipeline, submissions and interviews in one workspace, and turns each job description into a weighted fitment checklist so a recruiter submits the right candidate the first time. It is an applicant tracking system and a recruiting CRM in one.
Is RecruiterDesk an applicant tracking system or a recruitment CRM?
Both, on the same records. The applicant tracking side runs every open role as a mandate with its own candidate pipeline. The recruitment CRM side runs the prospect and client relationships as a work queue sorted by follow-up. A won prospect becomes an active client whose roles and candidates run in the same place, so there is nothing to sync between two tools.
Who is RecruiterDesk for?
It is built for agency and independent recruiters who fill roles for client companies, from a desk of one to a boutique team. Every mandate belongs to a client, fees derive from the client commercial terms, and you can share a masked shortlist for client feedback. It is not an in-house HR suite; the whole product is shaped around the client-facing agency desk.
Does RecruiterDesk use AI to decide who to hire?
No. The AI reads the job description, drafts the weighted fitment checklist, scores candidates against it and drafts outreach and submission notes. Every score is explainable and a person always confirms the call. Nothing about a candidate is decided silently, and a hard knockout flags a wrong submission rather than rejecting anyone on its own.
Can I bring my existing candidates and clients in?
You can bring candidates in on day one by dropping their resumes in bulk as PDF, DOC, DOCX or a ZIP, each read into a deduplicated candidate record. Clients and mandates are added by hand in a minute. Export is CSV from the list screens at any time, so there is no lock-in either way.
What makes RecruiterDesk different from other recruitment software?
Three things: a weighted fitment checklist that gates every submission, so the shortlist is right the first time; one connected desk for clients, mandates, candidates, the sales CRM and placements, instead of a stack of tools; and flat published pricing with every feature on every plan and no sales call to see the price. It is built for the agency desk rather than adapted from an in-house hiring tool.
