What is ATSpro?+
ATSpro is an AI recruitment CRM and applicant tracking system built specifically for UK recruitment agencies. It combines a conversational AI assistant with 170+ tools, 6 AI agents and 29 lifecycle automations, geographic candidate search, full UK compliance (Reg 15/17, Right to Work, GDPR), and timesheet-to-invoice automation. Pricing is £49 per user per month with all features included.
What is a recruitment CRM?+
A recruitment CRM (Customer Relationship Management system) is software that recruitment agencies use to manage candidates, jobs, clients, and placements in one place. Modern recruitment CRMs like ATSpro combine candidate tracking, client relationship management, AI matching, outreach campaigns, compliance documentation, and invoicing into a single platform — replacing spreadsheets and disconnected tools.
What is the difference between an ATS and a CRM, and do I need both?+
An applicant tracking system (ATS) manages the candidate side — applications, CV parsing, pipelines, interviews, offers. A recruitment CRM manages the client side — companies, contacts, business development, and the relationships that generate the roles in the first place. A recruitment agency needs both, because a placement requires a candidate and a client. Running them as two separate systems means duplicate data entry and no single view of a deal. ATSpro is an ATS and CRM in one platform: applicant tracking and client relationship management share the same database, so a candidate, the job they are matched to, the client who briefed it, and the invoice that follows are all one connected record.
Is ATSpro an ATS or a CRM?+
Both. ATSpro combines a full applicant tracking system and a recruitment CRM in a single platform at £49 per user per month, with no separate modules or licences. The ATS side covers CV parsing, semantic and geographic candidate search, Kanban pipelines, interview scheduling, and offer management. The CRM side covers companies, contacts, opportunities, business development campaigns, and client portals. Placements, timesheets, and invoicing sit across both. Agencies replacing a separate ATS and CRM typically consolidate two subscriptions into one.
Does ATSpro work on mobile?+
Yes. ATSpro is a progressive web app (PWA), which means you can install it to your phone or tablet home screen straight from the browser and it runs full-screen like an app — no App Store or Play Store download, and no separate version to keep updated. Push notifications are supported, so you get alerts for new applications, interview reminders, document expiries and approval requests on your phone. The full interface is responsive rather than a cut-down mobile view: consultants can search candidates, move pipelines, log calls, review submissions and approve timesheets from a phone. If your requirement is specifically a native app-store download, ATSpro does not offer one.
How does migrating to ATSpro from my current CRM work?+
Migration is included free and we do it for you — there is no self-service import tool to wrestle with. ATSpro has native API migrations already built for JobAdder, Recruit CRM, Crelate, Influence and Giig, which pull candidates, companies, contacts, jobs, placements, notes and documents directly across. If you are on a system we have not integrated yet, such as Bullhorn or Vincere, we build the API migration for you at no cost, or work from a CSV export if the API is not available. Either way the work is ours, not yours. For comparison, enterprise vendors typically quote £5,000 to £25,000 for implementation and hand you to a third-party partner.
How is ATSpro different from other recruitment CRM systems?+
Three things set ATSpro apart at this price point. First, the AI assistant is a command interface with 170+ tools that take real actions — finding candidates, sending emails, creating jobs, chasing feedback — not a chatbot that only summarises. Second, geographic intelligence with map-based candidate search, radius filtering, and bulk actions is built in for candidates, contacts, and companies. Third, the full UK compliance stack (Reg 15/17, Right to Work, GDPR, blind recruitment) is included, where Bullhorn charges extra for each.
How much does ATSpro cost?+
ATSpro costs £49 per user per month with every feature included — no modules, no add-ons, no setup fees. There is a 14-day free trial with no credit card required. Annual billing is available with a 20% discount, and custom pricing is available for agencies with 50 or more users or multi-brand groups.
How does ATSpro compare to Bullhorn?+
ATSpro is typically 3 to 5 times cheaper than Bullhorn for a UK mid-market agency. ATSpro includes the AI assistant, full UK compliance (Reg 15/17, RTW, GDPR), e-signatures, timesheet automation, and a careers site builder at £49 per user. Bullhorn charges extra for each of these as add-ons. Bullhorn Copilot can summarise and search; the ATSpro AI assistant takes real actions in the CRM.
Which AI agents are included in ATSpro?+
ATSpro separates AI agents from lifecycle automations, because they do different jobs. Six AI agents make judgement calls and run human-in-the-loop with an approval queue: Sourcing (Apollo and X-Ray candidate discovery), Screening (initial qualification against the brief), Outreach (drafts intro emails), Follow-up (chases replies and stalled submissions), Interview (schedules, invites and confirms), and Delivery (monitors consulting projects for risk). Alongside them, 29 lifecycle automations run deterministic rules you configure in Settings — no AI guesswork, they simply fire: placement auto-activates on start date, aftercare check-ins schedule themselves, jobs close when all positions are filled, candidates go dormant after inactivity, interview reminders send, invoices generate on timesheet approval, and chase emails go out on overdue payment. You choose which run automatically and which need your sign-off.
Is ATSpro suitable for UK temp and contract recruitment agencies?+
Yes. ATSpro is built with UK temp and contract recruitment in mind. It includes Regulation 15 Assignment Confirmations, Regulation 17 Key Information Documents, full Right to Work tracking with all Home Office List A and B document types, digital timesheets with worker and client portals, automated invoice generation on timesheet approval, and direct sync to Xero, QuickBooks, and FreeAgent. Working pattern templates support shifts, part-time, and irregular schedules.
Does ATSpro support consulting projects and Statement of Work engagements?+
Yes. ATSpro has a built-in projects layer for agencies that run consulting or staffing engagements alongside placements. It supports three engagement types: Time and Materials with timesheet-driven invoices, Work Package with milestone billing, and Retainer engagements. Each project has consultant assignments with charge and pay rates, RAG status updates to the client, project expenses with markup or pass-through policies, and a 10-tab project reports hub covering portfolio health, margin by client, revenue recognition, budget burn-down, and consultant utilisation. Quotes flow through a sign-portal, and accepted quotes convert directly into projects.
Can ATSpro bill milestone-based or fixed-fee project engagements?+
Yes. For Work Package projects, you split the contract value across milestones with names, due dates, and amounts. Marking a milestone complete generates a draft invoice automatically for review and send. For Time and Materials projects, approved timesheets accumulate within your billing period (weekly, fortnightly, or monthly) and roll up into one invoice per project per period, with line items per consultant. Project expenses can be added at cost, with markup, or treated as non-billable, and they attach to the next invoice automatically.
Does ATSpro integrate with LinkedIn, Indeed and other job boards?+
ATSpro integrates with Indeed, CV-Library, Reed, Totaljobs, Adzuna, Jora, and Talent.com via XML feeds and direct posting. For LinkedIn, ATSpro provides candidate sourcing via Apollo and Google X-Ray, contact enrichment for hiring managers, and LinkedIn outreach automation through Kakiyo. ATSpro also integrates with Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Xero, QuickBooks, FreeAgent, Twilio (SMS and WhatsApp), Xelion, and RingOver telephony.
Is ATSpro GDPR compliant and where is data stored?+
Yes. ATSpro is built with GDPR compliance at its core: 5-state consent tracking (Contacted, Consented, Active, Expired, Withdrawn), automated data retention policies, right-to-be-forgotten workflows, data subject access request handling, and anonymised equal opportunities reporting. Data is hosted on UK and EU infrastructure (Railway and Neon, eu-west-2) with AES-256 encryption for stored credentials and tenant-level isolation enforced at the database layer.
