Screening · Recruit CRM pricing
Recruit CRM pricing: what Recruit CRM costs per user, what its own pricing page no longer publishes, and the AI matching cap that decides the entry plan
Recruit CRM runs a pricing page with three plans, a monthly and annual billing toggle, a "Save up to 20%" badge, and a full feature comparison grid running to dozens of rows. Read on September 16, 2026, that page does not contain a single price. Not a starting rate, not a range, not a per-seat figure. The toggle switches between two billing options that both show nothing.
Parse · score · rank · recruiter reviews
Held for recruiter review · never auto-rejected
Screen the pile to watch Prescreener parse every resume, apply your criteria and knockouts, and rank the inbound applicants with a transparent reason on each.
Live, interactive · AI assists, you decide · no signup needed
AI assists · you decide · bias-audited (EEOC / NYC Local Law 144)
Human-in-the-loop you decide
EEOC and LL144 bias-audited
That is worth stating plainly because Recruit CRM is sold to small and mid-sized recruiting agencies, the segment most likely to want a number before a call, and the plan buttons are labelled "Start recruiting", "Schedule your walkthrough" and "Book a demo". All three route to a sales motion. Directory listings fill the gap: Capterra lists Pro at $95, Business at $135 and Enterprise at $215 per user per month. Those are Capterra's figures, not Recruit CRM's, and we flag them as third-party throughout this page rather than repeating them as fact.
What the page does publish is more useful than most buyers realize, because the limits are printed where the prices are not. The one to read twice is AI Candidate Matching: 2 matches on Pro, 50 on Business, 50 on Enterprise. Not 2 per day or 2 per job. The grid says 2. If AI matching is the reason you are looking at Recruit CRM, the entry plan is a demonstration rather than a working tier, and no amount of negotiating the seat rate changes that.
Why it works
What a published screening rate gets a recruiting firm
A rate you can read before the call
Prescreener publishes $199, $499 and $1,290 a month as standing rates. You can price the screening layer from the pricing page, without a walkthrough, a calendar link or a directory listing standing in for the vendor.
No 2-match demo tier
Recruit CRM caps AI Candidate Matching at 2 matches on Pro and 50 on Business. Screening volume here is the thing you buy, not the thing that is rationed to make you upgrade.
Priced on applicants, not seats
A per-seat agency platform charges the same whether a recruiter reads 40 applications or 4,000, and add-ons billed across every seat make a small team pay for logins that never touch the feature. Inbound volume is what varies, so that is what we meter.
What it handles
Parsed, scored and ranked on autopilot
Prescreener reads every inbound resume, applies your knockout and eligibility criteria, asks the screening questions you set, scores role-fit against consistent criteria, and ranks the applicant pile so your recruiters review the top matches first.
- Reads 100 percent of inbound applications, not a capped sample
- Published pricing on the tier that does the screening, not a quote
- Applies your knockout and eligibility rules identically to every applicant
- Returns the pile ranked, with written evidence behind each placement
- Runs alongside Recruit CRM, Bullhorn, Crelate, Loxo or Recruiterflow
- Metered on resumes screened, a number an agency already tracks
- Never auto-rejects: it ranks and flags, and a recruiter decides
- Bias-audited to support EEOC standards and NYC Local Law 144
Why Prescreener
One step that screens the whole inbound pile
Not a full ATS, not a six-figure assessment suite, and not a staffing agency. Parse, score, rank and hand off in one place, shaped to the criteria you already hire on.
Reads every resume
Prescreener parses every inbound application, applies your knockout and eligibility criteria, and asks the screening questions you set. Applicants consent and are told AI is screening their application, so no qualified person sits in a backlog for days.
Scores role-fit consistently
Every applicant is scored against the same criteria, with a transparent reason on each candidate, so the pile is compared consistently and the scoring stays bias-audited to support EEOC standards and NYC Local Law 144.
Ranks the pile
The strongest matches rise to the top of a ranked pile your recruiters review first. Prescreener never auto-rejects, it ranks and flags candidates for review, and your team makes every decision.
In depth
Recruit CRM pricing, plan by plan and limit by limit
How much does Recruit CRM cost?
Recruit CRM does not publish a price. Read from recruitcrm.io/pricing on September 16, 2026, all three plans, Pro, Business and Enterprise, are shown with feature lists and no rate, and every plan button opens a sales conversation rather than a checkout. Capterra's listing for the product states $95, $135 and $215 per user per month, which is a third-party figure we did not get from Recruit CRM.
The absence is deliberate rather than an oversight, because the rest of the page is fully built out. There is a Billed monthly and Billed annually toggle at the top, a "Save up to 20%" badge next to it, twenty-four customer award badges, a thirty-row feature comparison grid and a pricing FAQ. Everything a pricing page normally carries is there except the prices. A toggle that switches between two empty values is an unusual thing to ship, and it suggests the numbers were removed from a template that still expects them.
For a buyer this has one practical consequence and one strategic one. The practical one: you cannot budget a Recruit CRM line without a call, so build the call into your evaluation timeline rather than treating it as a formality at the end. The strategic one: you are negotiating without a public anchor, which is the vendor's preferred position, so bring your own anchor. The published rates of the platforms Recruit CRM competes with are the obvious ones, and there are enough of them to triangulate.
We do not restate the Capterra numbers as Recruit CRM's rates anywhere on this page, for the same reason we refused to restate the widely repeated Bullhorn implementation range and the Recruiterflow seat minimum. Directory listings in this category are frequently stale or contradicted by the vendor's own site, and a price you cannot check is worth less than an honest blank. Ask for the rate in writing, at your exact seat count, with the add-ons named.

Does Recruit CRM include AI resume screening?
Recruit CRM parses resumes on every plan and matches candidates to roles with AI Candidate Matching, but the matching is rationed by plan: 2 matches on Pro, 50 on Business and 50 on Enterprise. That cap is printed in the feature grid, where the prices are not, and it is the single most decisive number on the page.
Read the Pro figure literally. The grid does not say 2 per day, 2 per job or 2 per user. It says 2, in the same column that elsewhere says "Upto 15 fields" and "1" hiring pipeline. Whatever billing period it refers to, a tier that allows two AI matches is a tier where AI matching exists to be shown rather than used. If you are evaluating Recruit CRM because of the AI, the honest floor for your evaluation is Business, and the entry rate quoted to you on a Pro call is not the rate for the product you are assessing.
Fifty is better and still small against inbound reality. A single well-promoted agency role on a large US job board routinely draws 200 to 400 applications, so 50 matches a month covers a fraction of one requisition, never mind a desk running six. And matching is not the same job as screening: Recruit CRM's matching feature is described as matching qualified candidates to roles using AI-driven analysis, which is a database search, while screening is reading the applications that arrived this morning and telling you which thirty deserve a call.
The rest of the AI lineup is genuinely useful and points the same way. Recruit CRM publishes a Custom Field Parsing Agent, a Candidate Submission Agent, a Resume and CV Formatting Agent and a Candidate Pitching Agent, plus AI Sourcing and an MCP server that connects your Recruit CRM data to Claude and ChatGPT. Look at what those four agents do: they format, submit and pitch candidates you have already chosen, and they source new ones. None of them is the thing that reads 400 inbound applications and puts them in order.

What are the hidden costs in Recruit CRM pricing?
The costs Recruit CRM does not fold into the plan rate are the metered ones, and the page is unusually clear about them even while hiding the rates. Workflow Automation, Job Multiposting, Data Enrichment, LinkedIn Messaging and Advanced Analytics all carry their own allowances or their own billing, and two of them are billed across every seat you have rather than the seats that use them.
Start with the allowances, all of which are stated as Enterprise defaults. Workflow Automation includes 1,000 tasks per user per month, with a footnote that tasks are only consumed when the automation successfully executes an action. Job Multiposting includes 10 jobs per user per month, where one credit is consumed when a job is published to one or more boards in a campaign. Data Enrichment includes 500 credits per user per month, and every plan gets 25 free enrichment credits to try it. Those are all reasonable, and none of them tells you what an overage costs, because no overage rate is published.
Then the seat-wide line, which is the one to catch before signing. LinkedIn Messaging Integration and Advanced Analytics are both free for teams on Enterprise and, below that, carry the identical footnote: "Billed per user based on the total number of users you have in Recruit CRM." You cannot buy LinkedIn messaging for the two recruiters who live in LinkedIn. On a twelve-seat agency you buy twelve. That is a normal enterprise term, it is disclosed, and it changes the arithmetic on a small team enough that it belongs in your model rather than in a surprise line on the order form.
Data migration is the last one. Importing candidates, companies and notes yourself through the built-in Excel and CSV tool is free. Handing the job to Recruit CRM's migration engineers is a paid service, priced on how much data you are moving, quoted at 10 to 14 business days. If you are leaving Bullhorn or Crelate with years of history, price that before you compare year-one totals, because it lands in year one.
| Line item | What Recruit CRM publishes | What it means for a small agency |
|---|---|---|
| Workflow Automation | 1,000 tasks per user / month, Enterprise default | Consumed only on successful execution. Overage rate not published |
| Job Multiposting | 10 jobs per user / month, Enterprise default | One credit per job campaign, however many boards it hits |
| Data Enrichment | 500 credits per user / month, Enterprise default | 25 free credits on every plan to test it |
| LinkedIn Messaging | Free on Enterprise, otherwise per user | Billed across your total seat count, not the seats that use it |
| Advanced Analytics | Free on Enterprise, otherwise per user | Same seat-wide basis as LinkedIn Messaging |
| Calling and texting credits | Listed as an Enterprise inclusion | No unit rate published |
| Data migration | Free self-import, or a paid managed service | Priced on volume, 10 to 14 business days |

Does Recruit CRM have a free trial?
Yes. Recruit CRM runs a "Try for free" call to action in its navigation that opens a self-serve signup, and its pricing FAQ confirms hands-on access to the platform before choosing a plan. The wording to note is the qualifier at the end: "Certain usage limits may apply during the free trial." No duration and no limits are published.
That matters more here than it would at a vendor with published rates, because the limits are exactly where the product's constraints live. If AI Candidate Matching is capped at 2 on the entry plan, a trial-tier cap is the thing that decides whether you can test the feature you are trialling for. Ask for the trial's matching, parsing and enrichment allowances in writing before you start, and ask to be put on a Business-level trial if Business is the tier you would actually buy.
Two further terms in the same FAQ are worth having in your notes. Cancellation is anytime, and Recruit CRM states you can export your data in a few clicks with no strings attached, which is a cleaner exit clause than several competitors offer. And on compliance, Recruit CRM publishes GDPR compliance, a data processing agreement, an incident response policy, a transparency report and a vulnerability disclosure program, with AICPA and IAF marks in the footer. That is a stronger published security posture than most agency platforms of its size.
What is not there, and what a US agency should ask about specifically, is employment-law coverage. A strong GDPR posture is a privacy posture. It is not an answer to EEOC guidance on selection procedures, to New York City Local Law 144 bias-audit obligations, or to the Illinois and Colorado AI hiring rules. If an automated tool is influencing who your client interviews, ask what documentation you would hand a regulator, and get the answer before the trial ends rather than after the contract starts.
| Term | What Recruit CRM states |
|---|---|
| Free trial | Offered, self-serve signup, no credit card on the Capterra listing |
| Trial duration | Not published |
| Trial limits | "Certain usage limits may apply during the free trial" |
| Free version | Not available |
| Cancellation | Anytime, with self-serve data export |
| Contract length | Not published on the pricing page |
| Seat minimum | Not published on the pricing page |
| Compliance published | GDPR, DPA, incident response, transparency report, vulnerability disclosure |

Is Recruit CRM worth it compared with the other agency platforms?
On features per seat Recruit CRM is competitive with anything in the agency category, and its Pro tier is unusually generous on the things that are normally gated: unlimited open jobs, phone calling and recording, the full reporting suite, AI sourcing and the Chrome extension all sit on the entry plan. The problem is that you cannot compare it on price, because it is now one of the few agency platforms that publishes nothing at all.
That is a change in the wrong direction for this market. Bullhorn publishes $99 and $165. Crelate publishes $85 and $119. Loxo publishes $149 and $199. Recruiterflow publishes $149 monthly and $119 annually. Four of Recruit CRM's closest rivals will give a small agency a number without a call, and Recruit CRM, Ceipal and Jobvite will not. When a buyer can price four of six options from a browser tab, the two that require a meeting get shortlisted last.
The pattern across all of them is the one we keep finding, and Recruit CRM follows it exactly. Every agency platform will price the system of record, and every one of them stops publishing at the point where the AI that reads candidates begins. Bullhorn stops at Pro and puts agentic screening on Max. Recruiterflow stops at the AIRA Plan. Crelate stops at Business Plus, except its markup says $149. Recruit CRM does not stop, it simply never starts, and then prints a 2-match cap where a price should be. You can price the database. You cannot price the screening.
Which is the practical case for buying the two separately. A per-seat platform charges by how many recruiters have logins, a number with no relationship to how many applications arrive, and its add-ons are billed across all of those logins. A screening layer priced on applicant volume sits on top of Recruit CRM, Bullhorn or Crelate, reads every inbound application, and hands back a ranked pile with written reasons, at a rate published before the call rather than after it. If your desk is inbound-heavy, see how staffing agency resume screening is priced when the meter is applicants, and compare the whole field on the ATS pricing comparison.
| Platform | Published entry rate | Cheapest plan that includes AI matching |
|---|---|---|
| Recruit CRM | No rate published on any tier | Business, no published rate. Pro is capped at 2 matches |
| Crelate | $85 Essentials (2 users), $119 Business | Business at $119 for the AI Assistant |
| Bullhorn | $99 per user / month, Starter | Pro, no published rate |
| Recruiterflow | $119 per user / month, annual | AIRA Plan, no published rate |
| Loxo | $149 per user / month, annual, paid up front | Core includes AI search; agents from $199 |
| Ceipal | No rate on its own site | Not published |
| Prescreener | $199 per month, published | Included at every tier |
