↓ For Staffing & Recruiting Companies
Stop Losing Placements
to Manual Workflows
Custom CRM, candidate portals, and operations dashboards that replace your spreadsheets and disconnected tools. You own everything. No monthly SaaS fees.
The Problem
Your CRM doesn’t fit staffing
Generic CRMs weren’t built for candidate pipelines, placement tracking, or client relationship management in the staffing world. You’re fighting the tool instead of using it.
Candidates fall through the cracks
Spreadsheets, sticky notes, and email threads. When a hot req comes in, you’re searching for candidates you already screened three weeks ago.
You’re paying $500+/mo for tools that don’t talk to each other
ATS, CRM, invoicing, email marketing, job board API. Five subscriptions, none integrated. I build one system that does what you actually need.
What I Build for Staffing Companies
Custom Candidate Database
Search, filter, tag, and track every candidate with fields that match your actual workflow. Not a generic contact list. A staffing-specific system built around how you place people.
Client & Job Management
Track open reqs, client preferences, billing rates, and placement history in one place. Know which clients are active, which jobs are hot, and where your revenue is coming from.
Operational Dashboards
Real-time views of your pipeline: placements this month, open reqs, candidate submissions, fill rates. The metrics that matter, without digging through three different tools.
Professional Web Presence
A staffing company website that builds trust with both candidates and clients. Job listings, team pages, application forms, all branded to your company, not a template.
How This Compares to Your Other Options
Three honest paths. None of them are universally wrong, but only one of them ends with you owning the system.
| Off-the-shelf ATSBullhorn, JobAdder, Crelate, etc. | Hire a dev shop$50K–$150K + ongoing retainer | Working with me$8K–$15K + zero monthly fees |
|---|---|---|
| $200–$800/month per seat, forever | Long discovery phase before any code | One operator. 20+ years. Direct line. |
| Built for the median staffing firm, not yours | Junior devs do the work, partners do the meetings | Built around YOUR workflow, not a template |
| Your data lives on their servers | Change orders for anything off-spec | You own the source code on day one |
| Roadmap dictated by their other customers | You sign an NDA, they keep the code | Hosting on a $12/mo server, not a $400/mo platform |
| Switching cost grows every month | You’re a small fish in their book of business | Hand it to any developer later. It’s yours |
How I Take the Risk Off Your Side
A custom system is a real decision. Four things keep the risk on my side, not yours.
You own everything on day one
Source code, database schema, hosting account, domain. Day one means day one, not after final invoice. If we part ways, you keep building.
No platform fees. Ever.
No $400/month SaaS lock-in pretending to be your CRM. Hosting runs $12–$25/month on a server in your name. Cancel the relationship; the system keeps running.
30-day post-launch fix window
Find a bug, broken flow, or missed spec in the first 30 days? I fix it. No change order, no invoice. We’re not done until your team is using it daily.
Built to be handed off
Plain-English docs, clean code, no proprietary frameworks. Your next hire (or next developer) can pick it up without calling me. You’re never locked in.
How It Works
Clarity Session
We spend 60 minutes mapping your current workflow, pain points, and goals. You leave with a clear roadmap: what to build, what to buy, what to skip. $350, applied to your project if you move forward.
Design & Mockup
I design your system based on your actual operations. You see mockups, pricing, and a timeline before anything gets built. No surprises.
Build & Launch
4–6 weeks of focused development. Weekly check-ins. Testing with your team. Launch day includes training and documentation.
You Own Everything
Source code, database, hosting account. All yours. Optional $500/mo support for hosting, monitoring, and priority updates. No lock-in.
Common Questions from Staffing Firm Owners
How is this different from Bullhorn or JobAdder?
What if we want to switch developers later?
Will my data import cleanly from our current ATS?
Do you offer hosting or do I need to find my own?
How do you handle security: PII, contracts, candidate data?
What if we grow and outgrow what you build?
Who This Isn’t For
Not every project is a fit. A few reasons this might not be yours:
- You want a $50/month SaaS-style monthly subscription. I sell builds, not subscriptions.
- You need 24/7 enterprise support with a four-hour SLA. I’m a one-person shop. I respond within one business day.
- You want me to manage day-to-day staffing operations, not the software. I build the system; you run the firm.
- You’re looking for a $2,000 quick fix. The smallest staffing build starts at $8K because that’s what real CRM work costs to do right.
- You expect the system to replace good recruiters. Software amplifies a working operation; it doesn’t create one.
