The ATS struggle: Bullhorn, JobAdder, and the search for better 😫
As Architecture Social grew, the need for robust back-office recruiting software became apparent.The founder's journey through various ATS was fraught with frustration:

- JobAdder: "The system was good for data extraction but quite old, and the contract was monthly. My team also did not really enjoy the experience."
What made Recruit CRM stand out? 🤝
The unlimited free trial."What I quite like about Recruit CRM is that you could actually try it on an unlimited contract, so you could play around with it through customizations," the founder explains.This hands-on experience was crucial.
"I actually went in myself to interrogate why I think that it would work for Architecture Social, and then I started playing around, and I went, 'Oh, okay, you can do this, you can do that.' That's when I thought, this is probably a perfect thing."
The decision to switch to Recruit CRM was quickly made, impressed by its comprehensive features and user-friendly interface.
