Bottom line

Boutique and mid-size agency ATS and CRM with hotlists, GDPR tooling and a hosted MCP, from $95 per user a month billed annually.

Stands out for: A hosted MCP at agent.recruitcrm.io plus agency hotlists and GDPR controls.

Watch out for: MCP access has to be switched on per role before an assistant can connect.

Overview

Recruit CRM is a staffing CRM and applicant tracker for boutique and mid-size agencies. Hotlists, GDPR tooling and a desk API sit in one product, so the team is not paying an enterprise ATS premium. There is a first-party MCP at agent.recruitcrm.io; MCP access is enabled per role, then connected with the recruiter's own login.

Teams pick it when the desk is agency-shaped: clients, candidates and hotlists rather than a corporate requisition workflow. Pro is $95 per user a month billed annually or $109 monthly, Business $135 and Enterprise $215, and there is a Chrome extension.
