CRM for recruitment agencies
Recruitment is two sales jobs in one — clients on one side, candidates on the other, and live roles in between. axoCRM gives small recruitment agencies a shared place to keep all three moving without the cost of an enterprise ATS.

Where teams get stuck
Candidate notes live in a consultant's inbox
When that consultant is on leave, the candidate goes cold. Shared contact records with notes and tasks keep candidates engaged regardless of who's in.
Client roles get forgotten between calls
A pipeline of live roles, owner-assigned, makes it obvious which jobs need shortlist activity this week.
BD activity is invisible to the founder
Reports on calls, meetings and new business won show where the agency's growth is actually coming from.
