Ten tools. One workspace.
A CRM, a note taker, a dialler, a spreadsheet, and WhatsApp.
Signals is one system, and the record writes itself.
You have the back end of a good system. You are using it as the system.
Most agencies run on a database that was built to store records, not to run a desk. It holds candidates, clients and jobs, and it holds them accurately. What it does not hold is the work.
The work happens somewhere else. A call on a mobile. A WhatsApp thread with a candidate who never answers email. A recording nobody listens back to. A shortlist in a spreadsheet because the spreadsheet was faster. Each of those is a reasonable decision on its own. Together they mean nobody can see a desk without asking three people first.
So the system stays precise about last year and quiet about this week. Managers forecast from memory, consultants rebuild context before every call, and when a consultant leaves, most of their desk leaves with them.
Signals is an applicant tracking system and recruitment CRM in one, built for recruitment agencies across Hong Kong, Singapore and Australia.
Open a person. See everything.
A person in Signals is not a form with tabs waiting to be filled in. It is a record that fills itself as the work happens, in the order it happened.
Calls arrive with a transcript and a summary. Email threads against the person, not the mailbox. WhatsApp comes in from the consultant's own number and lands on the timeline. You open a name and you are already briefed.
Nothing typed
Capture happens as a side effect of the call, not after it.
Nothing missed
Every channel lands on the same timeline, in sequence.
Nothing lost
A desk stays with the agency when the consultant moves on.
Gmail, WhatsApp and your calls. Same place, already filed.
One inbox for the whole desk. Filter by channel when you need to, ignore the distinction the rest of the time.
Every message is already attached to a person, a company and a role before you read it, so replying is the only thing left to do.
No boolean. Just ask.
Which fintech candidates in Singapore did we speak to about a VP role last quarter?
Who went quiet after a CV send this month?
Which of my clients has not heard from us in three weeks?
Signals answers in a sentence and shows the records it read, so you can check its work.
Every other CRM measures activity. Signals measures money.
Calls made and emails sent are inputs. They tell you a desk was busy. They do not tell you whether the quarter lands.
Signals reads the pipeline the way a manager does: what is billed, what is committed, what is at risk, and what has to happen this week for the number to hold. One number, and the working underneath it.
One workspace does not mean starting again.
Signals sits on top of the tools your desk already uses. Mail, calendar, telephony, job boards, payroll and finance stay where they are, and the record stays complete without anyone copying anything across.
Twenty years of data is the reason nobody moves.
We migrate it, and we do it before you commit. Candidates, clients, roles, notes, documents and placement history come across with their dates and their owners intact, and we show you the mapping so you can check what landed where. A forty person agency moves in about three weeks.
Common questions
Both, in one system. Signals is an applicant tracking system and recruitment CRM combined, because agency recruitment needs the candidate side and the client side open at once.
A CRM, a note taker, a dialler, spreadsheets and WhatsApp. Most agencies arrive running all five separately. Signals is one system for all of it.
Yes, fully. WhatsApp messages are captured and filed against the candidate or client automatically, like any other conversation.
Yes, both. Signals reads them with your permission and writes the record, so recruiters keep working where they already work.
Yes, entirely. Signals is an ATS and CRM in one, and migration from any of them is included at no cost.
It stays yours. Full export at any time, including on the way out.
