For staffing firms: contract, permanent, SOW, managed services & RPO

Staffing is a relationship business.
Finally, software that acts like it.

Most recruiting software goes quiet the moment someone's hired. Recruit Social keeps you close to every client and every placement: the check-ins, the portals, the timesheets, the invoices. One placement becomes the next contract. Want sourcing too? A built-in ATS and career site are one toggle away.

No sign-up, no credit card. The live demo opens instantly.
Built by an active staffing founder who runs two firms on it every day.

See it in action

Your whole firm, at a glance.

The day-to-day runs on a few high-level views: drag a role through the board, watch the pipeline fill, and see every placement and client in one list.

Two front doors

Your ATS sources. Recruit Social does the rest.

Recruit Social owns the two relationships that actually win and keep the business — the clients you serve and the talent you place. One platform, two tailored views, so each side gets exactly what they need.

The market you're in

A big industry built on small & medium-sized staffing firms.

The U.S. staffing world isn't a handful of giants. It's tens of thousands of independent shops like yours doing the everyday work of placing people.

The client lifecycle

One continuous relationship, not three tools.

Winning a client, serving them well, and re-winning them all live in one place, so nothing goes cold between the sale and the next contract.

01 · Win

Pipeline & placement

Track prospects and follow-ups, then a roles & candidates board to move submittals to hired, in your ATS or right here.

02 · Onboard

Start clean

Compliance checklist, documents & IDs, branded portals for the client and the new hire from day one.

03 · Run

The day-to-day

Timesheets & approvals, a daily work log clients can see, invoicing with AR aging, SOW/PO budgets, and monthly statements.

04 · Keep

Retain & renew

Satisfaction check-ins, at-risk flags, renewal reminders and client recaps: the continuity that earns the next contract.

What runs after the placement

The operations an ATS leaves out.

The day-to-day of every placement (billing, hours, budgets, retention) in one place, wherever your sourcing happens. Click any card for a closer look.

Time

Timesheets & approvals

Clock in/out, weekly timesheets, and client-approved hours that flow straight into pay, statements, and invoices, plus a daily work log clients see in their own portal.

Take a closer look →
Money

Invoicing, AR & budgets

Branded invoices with paid/unpaid status and aging buckets, tied to each SOW/PO budget, so you always know who owes you, what's overdue, and what's left to spend.

Take a closer look →
Compliance

Onboarding, offboarding & 1099

Onboarding checklist, offboarding that gates final pay, and year-to-date 1099 totals with tax-form tracking.

Take a closer look →
Retention

Satisfaction & flight risk

Monthly client and talent pulses with at-risk and flight-risk flags, renewal reminders, and one-click account recaps.

Take a closer look →
CRM

Client CRM, talent bench & messaging

Every client and contact with notes, follow-ups, and a deal pipeline; an account owner and recruiter on every record so the right person follows up; a searchable talent bench tagged by skill; gift lists with shipping addresses for the human touches; and logged messaging, so nothing gets lost in email.

Take a closer look →
Insight

Reports & command center

Revenue by client, margin by placement, win and fill rates, and AR aging, plus a Today view and ⌘K search that surface every approval, overdue invoice, and at-risk account the moment you log in.

Take a closer look →
Sourcing

A built-in ATS & career site

Optional add-on: drop in a resume and AI fills the profile, run candidates through a visual pipeline, and post roles to your own branded career page with applications landing right in the app.

Take a closer look →
RPO

Run high-volume RPO

Take over a client's hiring across markets: each region its own Submitted → Screened → Interview → Appointed pipeline, with a live scorecard of appointments against target. Bill it as a retainer plus a per-appointment fee. Included with the Sourcing add-on.

Take a closer look →
AI

AI that helps you stay social at scale

The warmth of a boutique, the reach of a big firm. One click drafts the right touch from the live record: a check-in that names their team, a renewal ask before it lapses, a payment nudge with the amount.

Take a closer look →
Who it's for

Run your whole firm from one tab.

Made for staffing firms of every model: contract, permanent, direct hire, SOW, managed services, and RPO. Win the client, place the person, run the timesheets, send the invoices, and keep every relationship warm, all in one place. Flip on the Sourcing add-on and your ATS and career site live here too. If you run RPO or managed-recruiting engagements, a built-in scorecard tracks each market's pipeline and appointments against target. About the only thing it leaves to your existing tools is the accounting.

Why I built this

I run a staffing firm. I lived the spreadsheets, the slow ATS, and the ten disconnected tools, and I could never find one platform that handled everything after the placement the way it actually happens. So I built the one I always wished I had.

Every feature here exists because a real placement needed it, designed from inside the work, not in a software lab, by someone who still does this every day.

— Patricia, founder of Recruit Social

Pricing

Pay for placements, not seats.

Unlimited teammates. Unlimited clients. Portal logins are always free. Your plan is set by one number: how many placements you're actually running. Because that's when you're making money too.

The math is simple: the margin on one placement typically covers your whole plan several times over. If Recruit Social saves you a single missed renewal or overdue invoice this year, it has paid for itself.

An “active placement” is a person currently working a contract you manage. Bench, candidates, past placements, and direct (one-time-fee) placements never count.

Optional add-on

Sourcing: a lite ATS, built in

No ATS, or ready to drop a slow one? Add sourcing to any plan: drop in a resume and AI fills the candidate in, run a visual pipeline from screening to placed, and post roles to your own branded career site with applications landing right in the app, so you can run the whole journey in one place. The high-volume RPO tracker is included too.

Common questions

Quick answers.

Is this social media for recruiters?

No. “Social” means we keep you in relationship with the people you place and the clients you serve (messaging, check-ins, portals, the human touches) long after the hire. It's the opposite of transactional, not a posting tool.

Does it replace my ATS?

No, and that's the point. Keep sourcing in Zoho, Bullhorn, or wherever you work today. Recruit Social picks up the moment someone is placed: portals, timesheets, invoicing, compliance, and the client relationship. That said, if you'd rather not run a separate ATS at all, you can bolt on our optional Sourcing module, a lite ATS for $30/mo, and do everything in one place. See everything in the ATS →

What if I don't have an ATS?

Most firms run Recruit Social alongside an ATS they already use. But if you'd rather not pay for a separate one, add our optional Sourcing module, a lite ATS for $30/mo on any plan: upload a resume and AI fills the candidate in, keep a searchable candidate pool with full profiles and a visual pipeline, and post roles to your own branded career site. Source, place, and manage in one tool. See everything in the ATS →

Can it handle RPO or high-volume recruiting?

Yes. The Sourcing add-on includes an RPO tracker that lets you run a client's hiring across markets: each region gets its own Submitted → Screened → Interview → Appointed pipeline and a live scorecard tracking appointments against target, billed as a retainer plus a per-appointment fee. Built for managed-recruiting and RPO engagements, not just one-off placements.

What counts as an active placement?

A person currently working a contract you manage. Your bench, candidates, past placements, and one-time direct placements never count toward your plan. Load your whole talent pool for free.

What do my clients see in their portal?

Only their own team: weekly timecards to approve, PTO requests, daily work logs, budgets, invoices, shared documents, and the talent profile sections you choose to share (contact info, employment details, review highlights), branded with your firm's logo and colors. Never talent pay rates, your margins, or any other client's information.

How long does setup take?

Same day. Add your clients and talent, send portal invites, and you're running. Moving from spreadsheets, Notion, or Zoho? We help you import.

Can clients pay invoices through it?

Today you get branded invoices, AR aging, and payment tracking. Embedded card/ACH payments via Stripe are on the roadmap; Scale customers get first access.

How is my data secured?

Your workspace lives in Supabase (independently certified to SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and PCI DSS; AES-256 encryption at rest, TLS in transit, daily backups, AWS infrastructure). Access is gated by a passwordless magic-link login plus a per-firm members allowlist enforced at the database level, so strangers can't read your data even if they guess the URL. Client and talent portals only see their own records, never your margins or other accounts. For ultra-sensitive items like government IDs and bank details, we recommend keeping the actual files in your existing storage (Google Drive, etc.) and tracking only the status in Recruit Social; application-level encryption and per-record permissions for those are on the Phase 2 roadmap.

Your data is yours

Private by design.

Recruit Social is built by staffing people but run as a software company. Your candidates, clients, and pipeline are never visible to us, never sold, and never shared with another firm on the platform. Each firm's workspace is fully isolated, enforced at the database level; a competitor couldn't see your data even if they tried.

Isolated

Walled off per firm

Every firm's data lives in its own workspace with access gated to your team only. No other firm, and not us, can read it, even by guessing a URL.

Encrypted

Locked in transit & at rest

AES-256 encryption at rest, TLS in transit, daily backups, and passwordless magic-link logins. Export or delete your data anytime; it's yours.

Certified

Enterprise-grade infrastructure

Runs on Supabase (AWS), independently certified to SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and PCI DSS, the same backbone enterprises trust.

SOC 2 Type II · ISO 27001 · HIPAA · PCI DSS compliance is held by our infrastructure provider, Supabase.

Make every client feel like your only client.

See how Recruit Social picks up where your ATS stops, or covers sourcing too, and turns the post-sale experience into your next contract. We're onboarding a small group of founding firms: hands-on setup help, a direct line to the builders, and early pricing locked in.
