Everything a recruiting business runs on

Smarfle connects everything a successful local business runs on: website, Google Business Profile, call tracking, lead follow-up, CRM, review requests, payments, and recurring orders. One platform. Start with the recruiting workflows below.

The growth side, built in

Recruiting Call Tracking

Client briefs and candidate callbacks share one phone line. Tracking keeps both threads logged to the right record.

Reviews & Google Business Profile

Hiring managers check your reputation before handing over a search. Reviews from placed candidates and satisfied clients both count.

Website & Lead Follow-Ups

Role-brief forms qualify searches before the first call, and placement follow-ups turn one search into a standing relationship.

Where recruiting businesses lose time and money

The day-to-day friction every recruiting owner recognizes.

Top Candidates Disappear During Slow Processes

A strong candidate is interested today but fielding three other offers tomorrow. When your submission process takes days instead of hours, the candidate accepts elsewhere and your client blames you for the miss.

Client Requirements Get Lost Between Conversations

Account managers take detailed job requirements during intake calls but the specifics live in email or notes that recruiters cannot find. Candidates get submitted who do not match, wasting everyone's time.

Placement Fees Go Unbilled for Weeks

A candidate starts their new role but the invoice does not go out until someone remembers to create it. By then the guarantee period is already running and your cash flow is delayed unnecessarily.

Built for recruiting businesses

Not a generic CRM. Every feature is tailored to how recruiting companies actually work.

Job Order and Candidate Pipeline Management

Create job orders with requirements, assigned recruiters, and candidate submissions. Track every candidate through sourcing, screening, submission, interview, and placement stages.

Placement Fee Invoicing

Generate invoices on placement start dates with fee calculations tied to the job order. Invoices go out the day a candidate starts so your cash flow stays healthy.

Client Portal for Job Status and Submissions

Clients log in to see candidate submissions, interview schedules, and placement status. They stay informed without constant email updates from your team.

Recruiter Assignment and Activity Tracking

Assign recruiters to job orders and track sourcing activity, submissions, and placements per person. See who is productive and who needs pipeline support.

Placement and Revenue Reporting

Track placements, fees, and fill rates by client, recruiter, and job type. Identify your most valuable client relationships and most productive recruiters.

Placement Invoice Automation

Fees invoice automatically on start date with guarantee-period tracking, so collections match contracts.

Every recruiting call, handled your way

Your business number routes however you decide, and you can mix modes by schedule: forward to your phone during the day, switch to text-back or the AI after hours.

Plain forwarding

$0.04/min

Just rings your phone. Every call logged as answered or missed.

Forward with call tracking

$0.10/min

Rings your phone. Recorded, transcribed, summarized, and logged to the customer record.

Busy message + text-back

~$0.05/call

Plays your message, hangs up, and texts the caller. Replies land in your Inbox as leads.

AI receptionist

$0.25/min

The AI answers, qualifies the caller, and books the job. Great after hours if you want it.

Curious how the AI option sounds? Call (866) 355-9645 and try booking a consultation with it.

A day in the life

How a placement flows through Smarfle

From open req to placed candidate — every search tracked.

  1. 1

    Open req from client

    Web form or AI receptionist for new search inquiries. Each becomes a client record with role, comp range, and timeline.

  2. 2

    Search engagement signed

    Search agreement via e-sign, retainer or contingent terms captured, engagement becomes a work order with placement milestone.

  3. 3

    Pipeline built + interviews coordinated

    Candidate notes attached to the work order, interview scheduling via calendar, time tracking against billable hours.

  4. 4

    Offer extended + accepted

    Offer details captured in custom fields, start-date logged, placement fee triggers invoice generation.

  5. 5

    Placement fee billed + review + replacement guarantee

    Auto-invoice on start date via Stripe payment link, review request after 30-day mark, maintenance reminders for replacement-guarantee window.

Same flow for every recruiting business, only the terminology and details change.

Top feature for recruiting

Candidate Pipeline That Moves at the Speed of Talent

Every candidate is tracked from sourcing through placement with visible status at each stage. Recruiters see their full pipeline, account managers see submission status per client, and no candidate sits in limbo because someone forgot to follow up.

Recruiting CRM

Recruiting CRM That Treats Candidates and Clients as One Marketplace

Recruiting is a two-sided business: you have to source candidates AND sell to client companies. Generic sales CRMs only model one side, typically the client. A real CRM for recruiting agencies tracks both sides as full records, links candidates to roles, manages submission pipelines per requirement, and calculates placement fees on the agreed structure (contingent, retained, hourly). Smarfle's CRM recruiting software treats candidates and clients as equal-citizen records, so the recruiter can pivot from sourcing to selling to placing without switching tools.

A CRM for recruitment agencies that respects the two-sided nature of the business, candidates and clients as equal records, requirements as their own pipeline, is what separates a 2-recruiter shop from a 20-recruiter firm.

Candidate + client as parallel pipelines

Sourcing pipeline (candidates) and BD pipeline (client requirements) run side-by-side. Recruiter sees both at once, matches them, runs the submission flow without exporting to a spreadsheet.

Submission tracking per requirement

Each open req gets its own pipeline: submitted, interviewed, offered, placed, rejected. Smarfle tracks the stage of every candidate against every req so the daily standup answers itself.

Placement fee math

Contingent 20% of first-year salary, retained 33% in three installments, hourly contract markup. Smarfle calculates the fee from your agreement template, no spreadsheet errors, no missed invoices.

Replacement guarantee window tracking

Most placements have a 60-90 day guarantee. Smarfle reminds you when the window expires so you stop worrying about clawbacks and start counting the fee as truly earned.

Recruiting CRM questions

Yes. A candidate can be submitted for multiple roles. Their profile shows every submission, interview, and outcome so you have a complete picture of their history with your firm.
Each candidate moves through stages: sourced, screened, submitted, interviewing, offered, and placed. You see all candidates at each stage and move them forward as the process progresses.
Yes. Clients log into the portal and see submitted candidates with your recruiter notes. They can provide feedback directly in the portal, which your team sees immediately.
When you confirm a placement, the system generates an invoice using the fee terms from the job order. The invoice sends to the client on the candidate's start date.
Yes. Retained engagements can be set up with milestone billing at engagement start, shortlist delivery, and placement. Invoices generate at each milestone automatically.
Yes. The reporting dashboard shows sourcing calls, submissions, interviews, and placements per recruiter. Use this data for coaching, goal setting, and performance reviews.
