Built for recruitment agencies.
Every size, every market.

The CRM your team will actually use, because it does the work for them.

Quick answer

Signals is built specifically for recruitment agencies of every size, in every market. Unlike enterprise tools designed for large staffing firms, every feature is optimised for relationship-led recruitment: automatic conversation capture across calls, email, WhatsApp and LinkedIn, a record that keeps itself rather than being typed up, and hiring intent surfaced from your own client base.

The problem

Where recruitment agencies bleed time.

Recruitment agencies carry a disproportionate admin burden. With no dedicated ops team, the work falls on the recruiters. Updating CRM records, writing up calls, and searching for context that should already be in the system. None of it bills, and all of it happens after the conversations that do.

Consultant leaves, intel disappears

Years of relationships and notes walk out the door with them.

Manual CRM no one updates

Records go stale within weeks. Forecasts become guesswork.

Missed BD because you heard too late

Someone else was in the conversation first.

Shortlisting takes days not minutes

Sourcing first agencies get there first. Yours arrives last.

The solution

How Signals closes the gap.

The record keeps itself

Conversations, notes and decisions, all retained and all searchable, regardless of who leaves.

Self-updating database

Signals listens and writes the record for you. The CRM stays current automatically.

Hiring intent, surfaced early

Signals reads your own client base for the moments that mean hiring, so your team has a reason to call before anyone else does.

Shortlists in minutes

Job in. Ranked candidates and drafted outreach out. Same hour.

Built for agencies

Built for how agencies work, at any size.

Most recruitment software was built for something else and adapted. Generic CRMs for sales teams. Applicant tracking built for in-house hiring. Signals was built for agencies, where the work is winning the client and filling the role, and both matter equally.

An agency runs on relationships built over years and on being faster than the firm down the road. That is true of a six person team in one office and of a two hundred person business across six countries. What changes with size is the structure around it, not the work itself. Signals handles both, with regions, offices and teams, and the visibility controls a larger business needs.

Signals captures every message, every email, every call, and stores it against the right record automatically. Market signals surface hiring intent while the client is still deciding. Shortlists are ranked the same hour a job comes in. Everything your team knows stays in the system, regardless of who is on the desk that day.

Use cases

How different desks use Signals.

Perm desk

A perm consultant in Singapore runs 8 to 12 active roles at any time. Signals captures every candidate call and email automatically, so when a role comes in on Thursday, the ranked shortlist is ready by Friday morning without the consultant spending the weekend in the CRM. Signals alerts the team when a target company shows hiring intent, giving them the first call before the job is posted.

Executive search

An exec search firm doing 15 searches per year in London depends entirely on relationship depth. Signals stores every touchpoint, dinners, calls, introductions, referrals, and surfaces the right context when a partner picks up the phone. When a senior consultant leaves, the full history stays. The firm retains the relationship even when the person who built it moves on.

Contract desk

A contract desk in New York managing 40 plus active contractors lives and dies on responsiveness. Signals tracks contractor availability, end dates, and client satisfaction signals from every conversation, and surfaces the next best action automatically. Consultants spend less time hunting for context and more time redeploying contractors before they go to market themselves.

Common questions

Agencies across Asia Pacific, Europe and the Americas. Signals was built in Hong Kong, which shaped how it handles multiple countries, currencies and channels from the start. Agencies running one market on one currency get a system designed for harder conditions than theirs.

Perm, contract and executive search desks, from independent agencies through to multi-country groups.

Conversation capture starts working from day one, so the record begins keeping itself as soon as your channels are connected. Most teams see shortlists and client context in the first week.

Every conversation, note and decision is captured against the right record as it happens, so the history stays with the agency. The relationship carries on with whoever picks up the desk.
