The ATS built for boutique recruiting agencies
Your pipeline. Your candidates. One place.
Compass is the recruiting CRM built for small technical staffing agencies. Skip the bloated enterprise tools. Track candidates, send outreach, and close placements, without the overhead.
Spreadsheets don't scale
Tracking 50 candidates in a spreadsheet works until it doesn't. One missed follow-up and a placement walks.
Enterprise ATS tools are overkill
Tools built for 500-person HR teams charge accordingly. You don't need half their features and shouldn't pay for them.
Outreach falls through the cracks
A candidate goes cold while you're juggling three other searches. Sequences that stop when they should keep going.
Core features
Everything your agency needs. Nothing it doesn't.
See every search at a glance
A visual kanban board with stages: Contacted, Screened, Interview, Offer, Placed. Drag candidates between stages. Spot stalled searches before they cost you a placement. Filter by individual recruiter or view the whole team.
One record for every relationship
Full candidate profiles with contact info, resume storage, activity history, pipeline positions, and interview records. Link candidates to clients and jobs. Merge duplicates. Never lose context on a relationship.
Send from your own inbox
Connect your Gmail or Outlook account and send emails directly from candidate profiles. Every sent email, every reply, automatically logged to the candidate's activity feed. No BCC hacks. No copy-paste.
Automated follow-up that actually thinks
Build multi-step email sequences and enroll candidates manually. Set delays between steps, personalize with first name and your signature, and define what happens when a candidate replies. Route them to a scheduling email instead of just stopping. The only ATS built with branching sequences.
- Template variables:
{{candidate_firstName}},{{recruiter_name}} - Configurable delays between steps
- Branch on reply: route to a different step instead of stopping
- Auto-pauses when candidate replies, resumes or stops on demand
Every candidate conversation in one place
A unified inbox that pulls together outbound emails and inbound replies across all your candidates. Filter by status: active, waiting on reply, replied, handled. Search by name. Mark threads handled and move on.
Reuse what works
Save your best outreach emails as templates. Pull them into sequences or one-off sends. Variables resolve automatically per candidate.
The differentiator
Outreach sequences that branch.
Most ATS tools send emails in a straight line. Compass doesn't. When a candidate replies, route them to a scheduling email instead of stopping cold. When they don't reply, keep the follow-up going. Build the exact outreach flow your search requires, without code or workarounds.
Multi-step drip campaigns
Set delays in days between each email. Personalize each step with candidate and recruiter variables.
Branch on reply
Configure where the sequence goes when a candidate responds. Stop, continue, or route to a new thread entirely.
Pause, resume, stop
Full control from the candidate's profile. Every sequence action is logged to their activity feed.

Log interviews, set types, track status.

Set follow-up reminders on any candidate.
