This is the part of recruiting nobody mentions: the endless copy-pasting.

We recently spoke with a recruiter who spends 60% of their workday doing manual sourcing.

They’re copying names, emails, job titles, and contact information from LinkedIn into spreadsheets, one candidate at a time. 

That’s 16-24 hours every week on data entry when they should be building relationships and closing placements.

Here’s the fix: Recruit CRM built an entirely free candidate sourcing tool that finds candidates and provides their verified contact information.

Free candidate sourcing tool by Recruit CRM

Recruit CRM released a completely FREE candidate sourcing tool that automates your entire sourcing workflow.

You don’t need to be a Recruit CRM customer. You don’t need to pay ANYTHING. 

Just go to the tool and start finding candidates immediately.

How to use the free candidate sourcing software?

Type simple, conversational searches like “senior developer in Berlin” and hit enter.

The tool scrapes through LinkedIn and gives you 10 candidates per page with their profile information ready to review.

What you get (100% free, forever)

Here’s exactly what our free Candidate Sourcing Tool does for you:

  • 3 searches every single day: Each search gives you 10 candidate profiles, which means 30 candidates daily and over 600 per month. 
  • Save up to 10 candidate profiles daily: You can save up to 10 candidate profiles per day to review later. Saving a profile means storing its details for easy access.
  • 20 verified contact details per month: Say, you’re filling 3 roles and need 7 candidates per role, that’s 21 contacts. The free tool covers all your monthly sourcing needs by providing 20 unlock credits for email and phone each. 
  • No credit card required. Ever: We don’t ask for your credit card or any payment information.

You don’t need to worry about free trials expiring or getting charged later. It’s genuinely free.

Start sourcing for free: Get your first candidate in under 2 minutes!

At some point, you’ll hit a limit that feels like a good problem to have: you’re sourcing so many candidates that 3 searches per day isn’t enough anymore. 

You’re making so many placements that 20 contacts per month is holding you back. 

That’s when you’re ready for the full Recruit CRM platform.

Frequently asked questions

1. Why is Recruit CRM’s candidate sourcing tool free?

We know candidate sourcing is complicated, time-consuming, and expensive. 

We built this free tool to make sourcing easier for every recruiter, whether you’re using Recruit CRM or not.

Yes, we hope that once you experience how much time automated sourcing saves you, you’ll want to explore the full Recruit CRM platform. 

But even if you don’t, you can still use this tool for free forever. 

2. How does Recruit CRM’s candidate sourcing differ from LinkedIn’s?

With manual LinkedIn searching, you spend hours scrolling through profiles, copying information, and pasting it into spreadsheets. 

Recruit CRM automates this entire process.

Our free tool gives you 3 searches per day with 10 candidate profiles per search, already formatted and ready to save. 

If you upgrade to the full platform, the Chrome Extension captures entire LinkedIn profiles in one click, and AI Sourcing finds candidates across LinkedIn and the web using plain English searches. 

3. Can Recruit CRM help with candidate duplication? 

Lauren Lindh from L-Lindh, an executive search firm, had the same problem: duplicate candidates. Her team would source the same person multiple times because they couldn’t track whether that person was already in their system.

After switching to Recruit CRM’s Chrome Extension, the intelligent duplicate detection solved it immediately. 

When they source a candidate who already exists, the extension updates their profile rather than creating duplicates.

“The Google Chrome Extension for sourcing was the deal breaker for us to choose Recruit CRM,” Lauren says.

4. How can I download Recruit CRM’s Chrome sourcing extension? 

Here are the simple steps to download Recruit CRM’s Chrome extension for sourcing:

  • Step 1: Download the Chrome Extension from the Google Webstore. Pin the Chrome Extension on your browser to start using it.
  • Step 2: Once you see the extension at the top right corner of your screen, you can start the sourcing process by just clicking on the ‘R’ button icon once you’re on any profile page.
  • Step 3: You can do follow-up actions on the records, like adding notes, tasks, jobs, hotlist, etc. Once you click on ‘Done,’ the record will be added to your Recruit CRM database.
  • Step 4: Recruiters can add notes, tasks, jobs, and more with this Chrome extension, and once you click “Done”, the data is transferred to your Recruit CRM database.
