Recruiting & Staffing

Recruiting CRM that keeps candidates warm

Every role has an owner. Every candidate has a next step.

  • Import candidates + companies + roles from spreadsheets
  • Pipelines for Roles and Candidates (shared + personal)
  • Next step enforcement prevents "ghosted" candidates
  • Custom fields for salary, availability, visa status, stack

Free 14-day trial Β· No credit card required

Recruiting pipelines stall for predictable reasons

"Follow up later" turns into "where did they go?"

Candidate status lives in someone's head (bad storage medium).

Notes are scattered across email, LinkedIn, and spreadsheets.

Ownership is unclear when multiple recruiters touch the same role.

AI-powered import

AI-powered import for recruiting spreadsheets

Most recruiting "systems" are spreadsheets with heroic effort behind them. Nudge respects that β€” and upgrades it.

Import

Example import columns

Candidate:Name, Email, Phone, LinkedIn, Location, Stack
Role/Deal:Role title, Client, Stage, Salary range
Activities:Reached out, Replied, Interview scheduled, Follow up date
  • Detects Company vs Candidate/Contact vs Role/Deal vs Activity
  • Suggests mapping to your existing fields or proposes new custom fields (approval required)
  • Supports multi-sheet workbooks (e.g., one tab per role or client)
  • Dry-run preview (create/update/skip) before import
  • Dedupe + merge review so candidates don't duplicate across lists
  • Undo import when the spreadsheet is… optimistic

The Nudge System

Four rules. Zero ambiguity. Every deal moves or you know why it didn't.

1

Every deal has an owner

No orphan deals. Someone is always responsible.

2

Every deal has a next step

No deal without a clear next action attached.

3

Every next step has a due date

Nothing drifts. If it's not scheduled, it's not real.

4

Your 'Today' list is the truth

Due, overdue, and done β€” your single source of action.

Next step required β†’ Today list automatically updates.

Frequently asked questions

Is Nudge an ATS?
Nudge is a CRM-style workflow tool. It's great for client + candidate follow-up discipline, but it's not trying to replace a full ATS with job board integrations.
Can I import candidate spreadsheets into Nudge?
Yes. Nudge's AI import can map candidates, companies, roles/deals, and activities from CSV/XLSX, including multi-sheet workbooks.
How do you prevent candidates from going cold?
By making next steps mandatory. Every candidate and role has an owner, next action, and due date β€” so nothing sits in limbo.
Can we run separate pipelines for candidates and roles?
Yes. Many teams run both, plus a client outreach pipeline.
Can I store recruiting-specific custom fields?
Yes. Add fields like visa status, availability, stack, salary, and more on candidates/companies/deals.
Will imports create duplicates for candidates across lists?
Nudge supports dedupe and merge review (email/phone/domain matching) and flags ambiguous matches.
Does Nudge track outreach and interviews?
Yes. Activities capture touchpoints like outreach, calls, interviews, feedback, and follow-ups.
Can I undo an import?
Yes. Undo lets you import confidently and roll back if needed.

Keep things moving.
