Build a recruitment engine that runs itself

Atlas introduces agentic AI that actively manages the operational load of recruiting. Its generative agents handle data entry, candidate outreach, follow-ups, status updates, and other repetitive work on your behalf. With the busywork gone, your consultants can invest their time where it creates the most impact, nurturing relationships, advising clients, and accelerating placements.

Vincere’s navigation can be difficult, with system glitches disrupting your flow. But with Atlas, you can automate candidate sourcing and find the best profiles, saving you precious time in the process.

Turn every conversation into shared intelligence

Atlas creates a unified Total Memory that captures and connects everything your team writes, says, hears, and reads. Calls, emails, notes, and updates feed into one searchable intelligence layer, giving Atlas AI agents the context they need to act with precision across your entire pipeline.

Vincere’s lack of pipeline customisation and limitations with the LiveList feature can hinder modern search and workflow efficiency. Unlike Vincere’s time-intensive manual tagging, Atlas’s auto-tagging feature lets you manage and find candidate and client data within seconds.

Focus your energy where it creates the biggest return

Atlas monitors live activity across every client, candidate, and open role, giving you a clear view of which opportunities are heating up and which need attention. Its agentic AI evaluates engagement patterns and momentum, then recommends the next best action so your team can prioritise the deals most likely to move forward.

Vincere lacks an AI-driven system that evaluates opportunity strength or proactively guides recruiters toward the highest-value prospects. With it, you may also face extra costs for essential functions like basic business development tools.

Turn candidate interactions into long-lasting insights

Atlas enhances every stage of the hiring journey with an intelligent AI note taker that works across outreach, phone calls, video meetings, and the wider recruitment workflow. Each interaction is captured, summarised, and automatically connected to the candidate’s profile, giving your team immediate access to the context that drives sharper decisions and faster progress.

Vincere asks you to pay for its note-taker per user per month, and you still waste time on note-taking and recalling interview details. Atlas has your interview notes ready at a moment’s notice, so you never have to write anything again.

Automate personalised outreach that opens doors

Atlas enables your team to build high-impact, multi-step campaigns across email, phone, and social with exceptional speed. By drawing on job details, notes, and real-time context, Atlas helps you produce persuasive, personalised messages in minutes. And with the Atlas Chrome extension, you can tap into your company’s shared intelligence on demand, ask any question, surface the insight you need, and send tailored outreach without slowing down.

Vincere offers tools for building sequences and automating communication, but it does not provide context-driven campaign creation powered by a unified, organisation-wide memory layer.

Stay ahead of every shift with real-time pipeline intelligence

Atlas equips your team with dynamic, customisable dashboards that make it easy to track what matters, by consultant, role, stage, activity, or any metric you choose. From initial outreach to final interviews, you see your entire pipeline live. Atlas automatically analyses activity patterns, pacing, outcomes, and momentum, surfacing risks and opportunities long before they appear in traditional reports. Your team stays aligned, proactive, and confidently in control.

Vincere provides dashboards, reporting tools, and filters for monitoring productivity and KPIs, but no automated, real-time analysis that proactively highlights shifts in momentum or emerging pipeline risks.

Surface your strongest candidates in seconds with AI-driven scoring

Atlas lets you set the exact criteria that define an ideal candidate for any search, skills, experience, behaviors, or the unique nuances your team values. Magic Columns then evaluates every profile through those instructions, generating an instant, visual fit score so you can see your best matches at a glance. Hidden gems rise to the top, manual filtering disappears, and your team builds shortlists with unmatched speed and confidence.

Vincere provides filtering, custom fields, and standard matching tools. However, there’s no instruction-driven scoring system that visually measures candidates against your personalised criteria.

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.

Hephzi Pemberton
// Founder / Author / NED

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.

Sam Jones
// Founder @ People in AI

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.

Paul de Rozarieux
// Founder @ Fusion Search

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.

Daren Thornley
// The Sales Recruiter @ Thornley CS

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.

Jamie Rogers
// Founder @ Attis Global

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!

Scott Williams
// Founder @ Williams Recruitment

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.

Jamie Bootle
// Founder @ Process

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.

Tom Caldicott
// Founder @ Unity Search

Atlas focus on building the software to automate and blend in human support, they have got the perfect balance.

Qamar Khan
// Founder @ Greenstone Talent

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.

Daniel Moussa
// Founder @ Thirdway Advisory Pty Ltd

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.

Gareth Cartman
// Founder @ Example Digital

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!

Michelle Jones
// Chief Talent Officer @ Path Placement Recruiting Services

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.

Ross Hoare
// Director @ Hyperion Search Ltd

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!

Ben-McCabe
// Founder @ McCabe + Partners

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.

Jules Fretwell
// Head of Research & Insights @ Neuco

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!

VJ (Virajit) Pahari
// Founder @ Talent Sherpa

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!

Xan Winterton
// Founder @ Rippl

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.

William Johnson, MS
// Co-Founder @ William and William Recruiting

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.

Colt Sarginson
// Founder @ Retelligence

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!

John Clifton
// Founder @ Third Circle Partners

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!

Roger Hickford
// Founder @ Futuris Recruitment

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!

Jake Magowan
// Co-founder @ Tight knit

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.

Bradley Bartlett
// Chief Executive Officer @ IB Global Recruitment

Atlas has been a gamechanger – Combining data collection, outreach and workflow has made my life considerably easier!

Tom Short
// Founder @ Leo Partners

Atlas is infinitely better than anything else on the market and if you aren’t using it, you are at an incredible disadvantage!

Chris Garfield
// Managing Director @ Garfield Stephens Ltd

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!

Dom Birchall
// Founder @ Checked Recruitment

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.

Fraser Tait
// Founder @ Ethiq

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!

Michael Budd
// Co-Founder & Director @ Empathy Talent

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!
