Recruitment CRM that turns data into revenue

Visit Firefish

Firefish is a recruitment CRM, ATS and marketing platform for UK recruitment agencies, designed to connect candidate and client records, job workflows, business development and reporting in one system. It supports permanent, temporary and contract desks, helping agencies manage assignments, shift scheduling, advanced rates, timesheets, shortlists, interviews, offers and placements while keeping activity, pipeline and revenue visible across teams.

The platform includes core modules for AI and automation, business development, search and match, conversations, analytics and job workflows. Firefish AI assists with candidate matching, record summaries, data enrichment, email organisation and administrative tasks, while email sequencing supports outbound campaigns. Additional modules include a CRM-connected agency website with integrated job pages, automated job alerts, registration forms and AI-assisted content creation, along with a Candidate Portal, Hiring Manager Portal and Marketplace for third-party integrations. Analytics provides real-time visibility into recruiter and business performance.

Firefish is aimed at recruitment agencies running permanent, contract and temporary desks. The pages describe a demo-led sales process and a plans section, but do not specify free plans, trials, editions or seat-based and usage-based packaging.
