Build a recruiting workflow that runs itself
Atlas puts agentic AI at the center of your operations, turning repetitive tasks into automated actions that happen without hesitation. Generative agents update records, trigger outreach, follow up at the right moment, and keep every role moving without pressure on your team. Recruiters gain hours back each week and spend their energy where it creates real impact: winning clients, closing candidates, and driving revenue.
JobAdder relies on tags, manual sorting, and basic AI layered onto an older system to find the right candidates and keep searches moving. The workflow still requires hands-on effort, and the platform does not automate end-to-end tasks the way Atlas does.
Turn every interaction into intelligence your whole team can use
Atlas creates a unified Total Memory that captures and connects everything your team says, hears, reads, and writes. Calls, emails, notes, and updates flow into one searchable intelligence layer that gives AI agents the context they need to work across your entire pipeline. You gain instant clarity and never have to dig for information that should already be at your fingertips.
JobAdder doesn’t apply the same holistic approach to organizing your data. You spend more time manually sorting through records and navigating your database, which slows down searches and adds unnecessary admin to your day.
Act on the opportunities that matter most
Atlas reads live activity across every role, client, and candidate in your pipeline and brings high-value moments straight to the surface. Its agentic AI scores engagement, tracks momentum, and recommends the next best action so your team always knows where to focus. Recruiters stay aligned, proactive, and ready to jump on the opportunities most likely to convert.
JobAdder offers basic business development tools for managing your pipeline, but it does not include an agentic AI layer that identifies high-value opportunities or guides next steps. You handle more of the prioritization yourself, which can make or break your deals.
Turn every candidate conversation into a business advantage
Atlas elevates every interaction with an intelligent AI note taker that works across outreach, calls, video interviews, and your entire recruiting workflow. Every conversation is captured, distilled, and connected to the candidate’s evolving profile, giving your team instant clarity and context. Recruiters make sharper decisions because the insights they need are always complete, accurate, and ready to use.
JobAdder does not include a native AI note taker. You rely on manual note-taking inside the system, which slows you down and can lead to gaps in your records unless you pay extra for RecView.
Create personalized outreach at scale with zero extra effort
Atlas empowers you to craft high-impact, multi-step outreach across email, phone, and social media without slowing down their day. It pulls in job details, notes, and real-time context so messages feel tailored and relevant from the first touch. With the Atlas Chrome extension, your team can tap into shared intelligence, get instant answers, and send personalized outreach in minutes. Engagement rises because every message feels human and intentional, even at scale.
JobAdder does not include built-in outreach campaign management. You need third-party tools to run multi-step campaigns, which adds extra cost to your tech stack and creates more moving parts for your team to manage.
See every metric clearly and stay ahead of pipeline risks
Atlas gives recruiting teams clear, real time visibility into every search. Its dashboards are built for speed, depth, and the way agency teams actually operate. You can break down performance by consultant, role, activity, stage, or any metric that shapes outcomes. Atlas tracks patterns, pace, and momentum automatically, surfacing risks or opportunities long before they become problems. Your team moves with confidence because the data that matters is always easy to see and act on.
Compared to Atlas, JobAdder’s dashboards are more traditional and rely on legacy workflows. They are not powered by agentic AI, which limits how quickly teams can spot trends, identify risks, or understand pipeline movement across the business.
Identify top talent in seconds with intelligent fit scoring
Atlas gives your team a smarter, more consistent way to spot standout candidates. You define exactly what great looks like for each search, from skills and experience to behaviors and role-specific nuances. Magic Columns evaluates every profile against those criteria and produces a clear, visual fit score that highlights top contenders and uncovers hidden potential. Recruiters build precise shortlists fast, without manual filtering or guesswork.
JobAdder does not include agentic AI scoring. Recruiters rely on manual assessments and individual judgment to evaluate candidates, which adds extra admin and increases subjectivity in the shortlisting process.

“The tools we used in the past weren’t intuitive, and they weren’t AI-first. They didn’t help us move fast or make smart decisions.“
The common objections
I’ve heard that moving platforms is a nightmare.
The entire process can be completed in a few weeks. The Onboarding team manage the migration project from end-to-end including, getting your data from Loxo, mapping the data ahead of migration, migrating the data, clearing up the mess and onboarding your team.
I’m concerned about the privacy and security of our candidate data if we start using AI
Your candidate data is in good hands. Our AI platform is fully GDPR compliant, and we use OpenAI’s API-based models, which are also GDPR compliant, to ensure your data stays private. You can learn more about our security measures at https://openai.com/security.
Customer testimonials
Atlas has been a game changer for People In AI: we wanted a modern ATS that utilized AI and was easily searchable, usable and fast. Atlas delivered that and more.
Atlas is now at the core of our tech stack, additionally allowing us to significantly save money elsewhere by replacing other now unnecessary tools. It’s become an essential part of how we work and grow. Overall, Atlas feels like a smart, time saving partner that helps us focus on growing our business instead of getting bogged down in repetitive tasks. Definitely worth checking out if you want a fresh, efficient approach in this area.
With Atlas, tasks like importing candidates and navigating dashboards are effortless. Its AI and call transcription are game-changers, and the team’s dedication to updates ensures it only gets better.
The power of Atlas makes it impossible to ignore if you’re looking at CRMs. Aside from all the amazing AI features – too hard to list, but it being natively built on AI puts it above everything else – it’s the core focus of their aim that is so key. They exist to reduce admin and to help users generate more revenue. That’s it, super simple. Every feature, workflow, update and upgrade is all focused on those core principles. If that’s what you want, check it out!
Atlas is ‘must use’ when it comes to recruitment technology. There’s no point in starting a recruitment business or continuing to run a recruitment business without it. You might as well say ‘I want to not win’ when you choose not to use Atlas. We cannot fathom the work that’s been done with Atlas and are excited to scale our team with it.
I’ve used countless recruitment systems over the year, all of them at the time were seen as ‘cutting edge’. Times have changed. In the world we now live Atlas are true pioneers in this space. Whilst others ‘bolt on’ AI, Atlas is built from the ground up. It is like having an assistant in my pocket which enables me to work faster and with greater accuracy, putting me ahead of my competition. The speed of innovation is beyond anything I have ever seen, and every new feature just feels like Christmas, the Atlas Team really are setting the bar.
Until this year, I’d never used a CRM. Choosing one felt overwhelming—until we found Atlas AI. Built on AI and designed with customer feedback, it’s smart, intuitive, and always improving. The real-time chat, training videos, and hands-on support are game-changing. This isn’t just a CRM; it’s the future of recruitment tech.
Atlas is the first CRM I actually enjoy using! It takes away so much of the mundane admin, the native AI features are thoughtfully designed and add genuine value (not lipstick on a pig!), and the team are fab from top to bottom! Genuinely the best tech investment I have made in the last 10 years!
Atlas is infinitely better than anything else on the market and if you aren’t using it, you are at an incredible disadvantage!
Having Atlas is worth two VAs – the amount of time I save by not having to fill in data fields, parse CVs manually, retrofit processes to archaic systems, take notes & actually do something with those notes – like, the whole thing’s done for me!
I have used 99.9% of all the CRM and ATS systems available to third party recruiters over the course of my 26 year career in recruitment. Atlas is by far the best thing to happen to the industry in a long time. All the things that slow you down as a recruiter are taken on by Atlas, freeing you up to make waves in your niche. Many firms have scrambled to bolt AI on to their systems. Atlas has AI baked in, it is literally in the DNA of the system and it is evident in every aspect of the system. I can’t recommend Atlas highly enough.
We moved from Zoho over to Atlas. The decision has been overwhelmingly positive. The basic premise alone to actually capture all of the data points for candidates and clients alike has been a game changer. Adding in everything else like campaigns, reports, and the new opportunities release for BD, we couldn’t be happier. Feature development has been rapid, with actual useful features being released. Support is extremely fast and very helpful. Highly recommended!
Never has a CRM changed the game so much when it comes to recruitment. Jordan and the team at Atlas are building something truly incredible with the sole focus of allowing recruitment consultants to focus on what they are incredible at, being consultants. If you are a recruitment company and you’re not using Atlas, be prepared to be left behind in the dust.
Atlas lets me stay focused on the interview by taking notes for me. It also analyzes candidates against the job description, providing valuable insights to help identify the best fit for the role.
Rec tech is the wild west of the industry. Overly complex workflows, the need to buy multiple pieces of software, expensive and slow to innovate. Atlas has solved all of the above problems with an AI infused platform that eliminates ‘tech stack bloat’, spiraling costs and cutting edge innovation. Add to this direct access to the founder (Jordan) and you have a recipe for the best CRM that listens to its customers and iterates faster than any of its competitors.
Loving the speed of Atlas and the support of the AI throughout the system. Asking a question and getting an answer is great; but it’s even better when you can quickly move/update/change the data on your candidates immediately and move onto the next task of placing great talent.
We moved over to Atlas in the summer with a very tight migration timeframe. The Atlas team have been super responsive to all our queries; it’s been really refreshing to have a genuine two way engagement where suggestions and requirements are acknowledged and acted upon. The new Opportunities BD pipeline is a game changer. The pace of their innovation is incredible and genuinely exciting!
Atlas focus on building the software to automate and blend in human support, they have got the perfect balance.
Atlas is the best CRM platform I have ever used, it is built exactly how you think something should work utilizing the best of AI. Not only does Atlas capture everything you do, highlight everything you need to know and help uncover missed information from a simple search, the team are also fantastic. They solve tickets quickly but most importantly the Atlas you see today isn’t the Atlas you’ll have next week or in three months time. They are constantly adding new features which don’t slow anything down. Highly recommend.
Atlas has been a gamechanger – Combining data collection, outreach and workflow has made my life considerably easier!
Having used other ‘market leading’ CRMs Atlas feels a class above. It is simply, flexible and intiutive. The rate at which new features are being launched and upgraded is unparalleled to what I have seen in the market.
Atlas is truly remarkable and it is great to be an early adopter into what I believe is a game changer for the recruitment industry!
I’ve tried a lot of recruitment tech, but Atlas is next-level. Less admin, more time, and features that actually work! Recruitment agencies, this is the platform you need!
Atlas has been a game changer in terms of our ability to deliver in a faster and more effective manner. By removing the time consuming admin, we are able to focus on delivering for our clients and candidates.
Atlas is the next generation of recruitment software the industry has been waiting for. It removes the admin drain from recruiters, to allow them to focus on the human relationships and personal interactions that make all the difference.
Intuitive, user friendly, feature rich and with great customers support, the platform does everything, and more, that I had ever hoped for. Not only that, but Jordan and the brilliant team at ATLAS are so engaged with their users and continuously striving to improve their offering to customers. It feels like there is a new release every few weeks, which is incredibly exciting. And they’re only just getting started!
We’ve been using Atlas for the last year and it’s like nothing we’ve ever used before. The platform is so intelligent and with all communications recorded, it makes the life of a recruiter so much easier. As the platform is entirely built on AI, it saves us time on all aspects of our job. The platform is constantly evolving with new features dropping weekly, it can be hard to keep up. A huge upgrade from Bullhorn!
Atlas is a game-changer! Unlike clunky ATS platforms I’ve used before, it’s intuitive, efficient, and takes the hassle out of admin tasks. Huge thanks to the team for leveraging AI the right way—what it does is epic!
In my 15 years in recruitment, I’ve never experienced such a genuine game changer as Atlas! Everything has improved, admin is non existent, and productivity has increased 10x compared to our old CRMs (Bullhorn and Vincere). If you are in recruitment, you absolutely HAVE to try it!
