Recruit CRM is now the only AI-first platform for contract staffing agencies that combines ATS, CRM, Timesheets, Invoicing, Reports & AI Agents in one system.
These capabilities position Recruit CRM as a complete solution for staffing agencies seeking to streamline temporary and contract recruitment while eliminating administrative friction throughout a candidate's lifecycle.
Recruit CRM's integrated suite enables agencies to track contractor hours in real time, automate billing cycles, and deploy AI agents to handle repetitive tasks, all from a unified platform. Truly unifying Front and Back-office teams on 1 single system.
1. Timesheets
The Timesheets feature enables contract workers and supervisors to submit, track, and approve hours in real time via web and mobile interfaces.
Key capabilities:
Auto-generated timesheets based on job start and end dates (no manual creation needed)
Customizable rule engine to define working methods, schedules, and overtime calculations (daily and weekly)
Multiple time entries within a single day
Three automated reminder types for contractors, clients, and recruiters
Dedicated portals for contractors to submit and track timesheets, and clients to approve them
Reimbursement request functionality directly within timesheets
Real-time status updates and approval notifications
Timesheets integrate directly with contractor records, creating a single source of truth for each placement.
2. Invoicing
Once timesheets are approved, the Invoicing feature automatically generates client invoices based on billable hours.
Key capabilities:
Automatic invoice generation from approved timesheets
Customizable templates with agency branding and compliance notes
Configurable payment terms and late-payment handling
Real-time payment tracking (paid, overdue, pending status)
Automatic reminders for overdue invoices
Audit trail linking invoices directly to approved timesheets
Improved cash flow forecasting and visibility
Invoicing automation reduces billing administration from hours per week to minutes. Invoices are generated, formatted, and queued for delivery automatically.
Revenue leakage is eliminated through real-time tracking and automated follow-ups. For agencies operating on thin margins, the cash flow acceleration directly impacts profitability.
3. AI Agents
Recruit CRM's AI agents handle routine, high-volume tasks that would otherwise require dedicated admin staff.
Available agents:
Custom Field Parser Agent: Auto-populates data into custom fields & tags, reducing manual data entry
Resume Formatting Agent: Generates professionally formatted AI resumes with custom branding and redaction rules
Candidate Submission Agent: Creates branded, personalized submission emails automatically
Candidate Pitching Agent: Generates customized pitch emails with your design themes with minimal manual effort.
These agents help with pre-screening candidates, composing timesheet reminders, following up on overdue invoices, and flagging compliance issues.
4. Workflow Automation
Beyond AI agents, Recruit CRM's no-code automation builder lets agencies create custom workflows tailored to their operations.
Example workflows:
When a timesheet is submitted, trigger an approval notification to supervisors
When an invoice is overdue, send automatic escalation alerts to clients
When a placement is completed, automatically archive records and generate performance summaries
When a contractor submits hours, validate against rules and flag discrepancies
Workflows are built by agency staff (operations managers, recruiters, executives) without requiring developers or IT involvement. The no-code interface is intuitive. Common templates are pre-built.
End-to-end contract staffing operations
These features integrate seamlessly with Recruit CRM's contract staffing solution. Sourcing, candidate management, job posting, skill-based matching, and client communication all feed into a unified system.
The entire contract staffing lifecycle (from requisition through placement, invoicing, and completion) is captured, automated, and optimized within a single platform.
