Architecture Social is an online platform for creatives to find their next job in architecture, design, development, and real estate, and it is a place for companies to find the best people for their teams.
The founder, Stephen Drew, is a former architect with over two decades of experience who stumbled into the world of recruitment.
This unique background gave the agency a distinct advantage over the architectural profession and its recruitment needs.
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:
- Bullhorn: “My experience as a customer was not that great. I didn’t like being locked into long contracts. I didn’t like being charged, upsold customizations, add-ons.”
- 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.”
It wasn’t until they found Recruit CRM through word of mouth—a system that provided EVERYTHING they needed.
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.
