Where Lechley Associates was before Recruit CRM
Since its inception in 2003, Lechley Associates has been a global talent connector, achieving the remarkable feat of placing candidates on every continent—yes, even Antarctica!
Of course, the journey wasn’t without its bumps.
Despite their expansive reach and numerous successes, they faced a significant hurdle: outdated and rigid systems that made the recruitment process extremely cumbersome.
Their existing setup wasn’t fully meeting the dynamic needs of recruiters, leaving them hungry for a solution that could streamline their workflows and enhance their operations.
The need for a change
Lechley Associates was on the hunt for an applicant tracking system that was as straightforward as it was robust.
They needed a tool to handle the nuances of their recruitment process without requiring a Ph.D. in computer science.
Scott, the founder of Lechley Associates, candidly expressed his frustrations, stating, “To be honest, I was looking for a system that was simple and easy to use but did lots. I wanted to simplify accessing and feeding recruiting data into the system.”
And then, along came Recruit CRM.
Why Recruit CRM stood out
Scott’s first meeting with Recruit CRM was a game-changer. During their initial demo, Sean Mallapurkar, our founder, quickly impressed Scott with his deep knowledge of the platform and the recruitment industry.
“Sean was not just well-informed but had an innate understanding of the recruitment process and the nuanced needs of recruiters. His deep knowledge of the platform and readiness to provide solutions to any query truly set him apart as one of the best in the industry. Recruit CRM is not just about technology; it’s a tool finely tuned to the recruiter’s way of working!”
Compared to other large ATS providers, Recruit CRM was a breath of fresh air for Scott and his team. It was clear that our ATS + CRM had something that other platforms lacked—a deep understanding of the recruiter’s journey.

“Recruit CRM has definitely improved our productivity. The way that we can use the workflows and integrate it with other pieces of software–it’s been fantastic!”
The impact: Where candidate experience meets recruiter productivity

Lechley Associates found that Recruit CRM was a catalyst for change in these areas, significantly impacting both candidate experience and recruiter productivity.
Here’s how–
1. Boost in candidate experience
Recruit CRM’s features allowed candidates to update their information, a seemingly small but impactful feature Lechley Associates found invaluable.
This not only empowered candidates but also streamlined the workflow, as the team can now use a simple button to request information updates.
The result? Candidates felt taken seriously, and the team saves a lot of time gathering data.
“The candidate experience has been fantastic, and the feedback from the candidates is great. Recruit CRM allows candidates to update their information, saving me so much time. It also makes candidates feel we are taking them seriously and that they’re in complete control of the information in the system.”
2. Recruiter productivity skyrocketed!
Recruit CRM didn’t just improve the workflow; it revolutionized it.
Lechley Associates highlighted the platform’s ability to integrate with other tools, including LinkedIn and its own built-in campaign section.
This allowed them to run more targeted campaigns and focus on other strategic areas of recruitment.
