What It Is

Employ CRM is a recruitment CRM system built for small recruitment firms and staffing agencies. Its website describes the goal as delivering enterprise-grade, cost-controlled recruitment technology at a “small business price point.” The product emphasizes covering the full recruitment workflow from candidate sourcing through to invoicing. It is not positioned as a general-purpose CRM, but as vertical recruitment management software for staffing businesses.

Core Features and Collaboration

Based on the captured content, the system centers on candidate management, email sending, SMS, branch offices, data storage, and agency account registration. The signup flow includes information such as personal details, client name, recruitment type, website, industry, address, agency photo, and personal avatar uploads. Each plan has clear limits on candidate numbers, emails per month, SMS per month, number of branches, and storage, suggesting that its business model is focused more on recruitment databases and communication outreach management.

For team collaboration, the available information only confirms support for multiple users and multiple branches: Sole Trader allows up to 2 users, SME is billed per 5 users and supports up to 5 branches, while Enterprise includes unlimited users and branches. However, the main content does not provide details on role permissions, approval workflows, or data visibility controls.

Pricing and Trial

Pricing is straightforward: Sole Trader costs £150/month and includes 2 users, 5,000 candidates, 1,000 emails/month, 1 branch, 5GB storage, and 100 free SMS/month, with a free trial available. SME starts at £250/month, billed at £50 per 5 users, and includes 50,000 candidates, 5,000 emails/month, up to 5 branches, and 50GB storage; it also offers a free trial. Enterprise costs £500/month and provides unlimited users, candidates, emails, SMS, branches, and data storage, but does not offer a trial. Additional SMS can be purchased at £5 per 100 messages. Payment methods shown include credit or debit cards.

Pros and Cons

The main advantages are its clear positioning and transparent pricing and capacity limits, making it a good fit for budget-conscious small recruitment agencies. The free trials for Sole Trader and SME also lower the barrier for initial evaluation.

The drawbacks are also apparent: the available content does not disclose key information such as third-party integrations, APIs, developer support, data security and compliance, deployment model, backups, or privacy policy. It also lacks detail on recruitment workflow automation, reporting, and permission controls.

Who It’s For and Access from China

Employ CRM is better suited to small recruitment firms, solo recruitment consultants, and growing staffing agencies in the UK or English-speaking markets, especially for managing candidate databases, email/SMS outreach, and branch operations.

Access from China could not be determined from the available content, so it should be considered unknown. Payments appear to be primarily in GBP via bank card, and there is no mention of RMB invoicing, local payment methods, or Chinese-language support. For companies operating in China, it is worth also evaluating local alternatives such as Moka and Beisen, as well as international products like Zoho Recruit, Bullhorn, Manatal, and Recruit CRM.
