### "Great tool, excellent support and very customizable "

February 2, 2021

5.0

Pros

Great Team that tries to make everything happen and adapt the tool as much as possible to your needs! The software is super user-friendly and intuitive, which made it very easy for our team to adapt to a new tool. We especially appreciate the great support and proactivity from the whole Recruitly Team, who constantly thrives to make the tool even better and match client needs! Keep up the great work!

Cons

We have very specific reporting needs that are not covered with the standard reports provided in Recruitly - but they are working on providing us with all the reports we need!

### "Solid, powerful and and intuitive CRM + ATS"

December 2, 2024

5.0

Very positive. A solid product backed by people who are passionate about the service they provide.

Pros

The team at Recruitly are friendly and responsive. They are on hand to help with anything that we need. They are regularly rolling out new features, and genuinely act on user feedback to improve the system. The system itself is powerful and intuitive, allowing for pretty much any way of working.

Cons

We had some initial teething problems and a few issues when we joined, but they were resolved in quite short order. The email marketing system could be integrated a bit more cohesively into the wider database system.

Recruitly was a superb tool for me as a one man startup and enabled me to automate numerous tasks. As the business has grow to 4 people they have been great with onboarding new consultants and providing training sessions whenever required

Pros

Ease of use and support service and ability to automate tasks as a one man band.

Cons

Lack of mobile app and cv parse facility could be a bit more sophisticated

### "Value for money and user friendly"

January 12, 2026

5.0

I like the functions and you can customise the system to make it work for you as a business. I only use drop downs I need however I have recommended Recruitly to a number of recruitment business owners and their feedback is very positive

Pros

I have used Recruitly for a number of years and find the system to be user friendly, good value for money and the team always get back to you with any queries.

Cons

I have not came across anything that I least like as it does what I need it to do and that is the type of system that works for me.

### "A flexible and evolving ATS with great potential"

October 9, 2025

5.0

Overall, Recruitly is a user-friendly and flexible system that continues to evolve. The platform offers great potential, and we appreciate the team’s commitment to continuously improving features and stability. With every update, the solution becomes more refined and even better suited to the needs of modern recruitment teams.

Pros

We’ve been using Recruitly for a few months now and see a lot of potential in the system – especially the flexibility of custom fields, integrations, and the overall usability for recruitment workflows.

Cons

System stability can occasionally be inconsistent. The support team is always very kind and supportive, though sometimes it takes a bit of time until everything is fully resolved.

### "Would highly recommend ! "

October 30, 2025

5.0

I have been in recruitment for 16 years and this is the best CRM, ATS I have ever used. I would recommend to any size recruitment business.

Pros

• Huge database (800M+ profiles) • Contact info actually works • AI matching is spot on • Easy exports to CSV/Excel • Clean interface • Support team responds quickly

Cons

An easy integrated CV format tool would be highly beneficial. Also if it would accept google docs along with Word and PDF

Great - would highly recommend. Did a lot of CRM research and Recruitly offered best value for money.

Value for money. Platform is as simple or comprehensive as needed. Support is great.

February 7, 2025

It's been very good. I have had 2 different training sessions and multiple follow ups with the team. \[sensitive content hidden\] makes sure often that everybody is happy and checking on me. Very happy.

Pros

Introduction and ease of use, constant development and new features. Even better - team has introduced features I have personally requested - no extra charge!

### "High recommendation"

July 1, 2020

5.0

Visibility of data Configuring the system is easy, and you can make it work in any way for you specifically, and if you cant, the team will help immediately. Links to everything I want, and if it doesn't, the team make it happen. With the Recruitly system, I can see things moving faster, can access the right cv, data, company, anything instantly. Very very happy,

Pros

The team, the support, the functionality, how easy it is to use and configure for your own specific needs. I admit I am an old dog learning new tricks, but Recruitly works so easily, and responsive. The overall amazing support from the team at Recruitly, especially \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] who has been my main contact, has made the transition onto Recruitly seamless and smooth and exceeds the expectations I had. Thank you to Recruitly Team.

Cons

There isnt anything I dont like, its been a learning curve for me, and that is all. I am delighted with how the system works, and anything that I wanted to see or asked for help with, has been instant from the team at Recruitly.

Reason for choosing Recruitly

Initially, to be honest, it was the Recruitly team that made us choose Recruitly. The demo we had at the start was so easy to follow, and honest answers back to any questions we had was refreshing. There was no bluffing, waffling, or ignoring what we were asking, and happily they have more than fulfilled the expectations and promises made about Recruitly and how it works.

March 30, 2020

4.0

Very positive, easy to contact and always offering support to us.

Pros

It is very easy to use, very easy to attach candidates to vacancies, create vacancies, create new companies and the CV Passing tool is great as it saves me lots of time.

Cons

It is not easy to match candidates to jobs by geographical area, main skill or salary and I do not know if it can send mass texts to candidates, I am sure the function is there but I have not used it.

### "Next-gen recruitment software, worth trying!!"

April 19, 2026

5.0

It’s got everything we need in one place, so I don't have to keep switching between different apps or losing track of notes. Plus, the support team is great. Whenever I have a question, I’m talking to real people who actually care and help me out quickly. It’s rare to find software that’s this powerful but still feels easy to use. For a startup like ours, it’s been exactly what we needed.

Pros

Recruitly has been such a big help for our startup. What really stands out is having everything we need in one place, especially latest WhatsApp integration, and the built-in marketing tools. We are mostly relaying on Recruitly without needing a bunch of different apps.

Cons

Everything has been smooth and the software does exactly what we need it to do so far. I’ll be sure to update my review when I feel sharing cons, but for now, it’s been all positive.

Reason for choosing Recruitly

Before choosing Recruitly, we looked at a few other options, but they often felt either too basic or way too over-complicated for a startup. Most other platforms required us to jump between different tools for marketing etc.,

### "A solid ATS. "

August 7, 2025

5.0

Recruitly has been great! From the very beginning, the customer service has been nothing short of fantastic. Always prompt, incredibly helpful, and genuinely willing to go the extra mile. A special shout-out to \[sensitive content hidden\], who has been absolutely wonderful to work with. Best of all, it's a highly cost-effective solution that delivers incredible value without compromising on quality or functionality. We couldn't be happier with our decision to use Recruitly.

Pros

One of the biggest benefits for us was their willingness to customize the ATS to match some of our specific workflow. This tailored approach made the transition seamless and has significantly improved our team's efficiency. The platform is also packed with great features and powerful, sales-focused tools that give us a real edge.

Cons

It took a bit of time at the start to get a few things we needed for our region and internal processes, but Recruitly was on to it, happy to help us and we had all we needed.

August 21, 2025

5.0

Brilliant - came recommended by a fellow recruiter and it certainly lived up to that. Easy to use and customer support has been great.

Pros

Does all of the things I need in a CRM for a fraction of the others that I demo'd in 2025. Terrific features - website integration and external job boards for job psoting and applicant management. Able to customise workflows, cv easy parsing, and great customer support.

Cons

That I hadn't found it before 2025!! Excited to see what other integrations and features are in the pipeline.

August 13, 2025

5.0

Pros

Having used Recruitly for four years now, the customer support has been 10/10, and the platform has always been easy to use. Everything you need for a CRM and ATM, with several integrations and native products built in.

Cons

Over the years, there has naturally been some teething problems, however, they have always been quick to create a solution or build functionality to support our needs.

### "Game Changer for Sourcing"

September 4, 2025

5.0

Been using Recruitly for sourcing and it's honestly changed how we work. Found 127 good candidates already. Used to waste so much time hunting for contact info and half of it would bounce. Now everything just works. The AI actually understands what I'm looking for too, which is refreshing. Best part is being able to search across companies and export everything in a format I can actually use. Worth every penny.

Pros

• Huge database (800M+ profiles) • Contact info actually works • AI matching is spot on • Easy exports to CSV/Excel • Clean interface • Support team responds quickly

Cons

• Wish it had more ATS integrations • Bulk operations can be slow Need more external features for improvement

### "Great CRM and ATS for solo and SME recruiters."

August 15, 2025

5.0

Can't fault them, very easy to use, and a lot of great functions for a solo recruiter with just the free version before you upgrade. I will be upgrading as I want to use all the function, but honestly a great online too, that just keeps getting better as I learn to use it more.

Pros

Great value for money, and amazing customer support. The CRM is very easy to use once you set it up, and you can tailor a great deal for yourself. The AI is amazing matching candidates on your database to your jobs.

Cons

Would be good to be able to fully customise own dashboard, you can do your own but it would be handy to be able to fully customise.

February 18, 2025

4.0

The team are lovely and responsive. They are open to hearing about challenges and any issues we might be having and look in to solutions. We moved from another platform and in comparison Recruitly is quicker and has more adaptability potential. However, at times the bugs and particularly seeing old issues resurface can be a bit frustrating. Nonetheless, the overall experience is good.

Pros

It is quick and agile and has a dedicated support team

Cons

It has some bugs and occasionally when updates happen some previous changes revert back, allowing issues that had been solved to re-emerge.

December 4, 2024

5.0

Fantastic from start to finish! The service was incredible as soon as we reached out even though we were just a small business. Someone was always there to help but it was rare we needed them to as everything works so well and efficiently.

Pros

The user experience is so efficient! It is so clean and easy to navigate I honestly don't think there is a better recruitment platform out there.

Cons

Nothing! If there was ever something I was unsure about, someone at Recruitley would come back to me within minutes on the chat.
