The staffing CRM and ATS that knows before they hire
dreach is a staffing CRM and ATS: clients, contacts, deals, candidates, jobs, submittals and placements in one place, with the parts most firms buy separately built in. It finds companies about to hire before the role is posted, gives you the decision maker’s cell and email, matches your own candidates to every job, and lets your recruiters call, text and email from the same screen.

Quick answer
A staffing CRM holds the client side of a staffing firm: companies, contacts, deals and every call and email. A staffing ATS holds the recruiting side: candidates, jobs, the pipeline, submittals and placements. Most firms buy them together, then add a contact database, a phone system and an email tool on top.
dreach is the CRM and ATS for staffing firms with those pieces built in. It finds companies about to hire before a role is posted, gives you the decision maker’s cell and email, and matches the candidates you already have to every job, with a quote from their CV or call notes behind each match.
You can keep your ATS beside dreach or move into it. Candidates and contacts import from Bullhorn, Crelate, Workable or a CSV, and HubSpot, Salesforce and GoHighLevel stay in sync.

What dreach keeps in one place.
- Clients, contacts and deals on the CRM side; candidates, jobs, submittals and placements on the ATS side.
- Companies about to hire and companies switching their MSP or VMS vendor, each with the source, the date and the decision maker’s cell and email.
- Matching that ranks your own people for every job and shows, per requirement, the line from their CV or call notes that backs it.
- A parallel dialer, texts from your number and email sequences from your own mailboxes, with every call, text and email on the person’s record.
- Placements with fees, splits, guarantee periods and contract rates, and reports on what each lead turned into.
From the first signal to the placement.
- Bring your data: candidates and contacts import from Bullhorn, Crelate, Workable or a CSV, and open jobs come with them.
- Tell dreach the roles and markets you place. Each week it adds companies about to hire, with the decision maker to call.
- Open a job and dreach ranks the people you already have against its requirements; add the best ones to the pipeline.
- Call, text or email from the record, submit to the client, and mark the placement with its fee and splits.

What people usually want to know.
What is a staffing CRM?
A staffing CRM tracks the client side of a staffing or recruiting firm: the companies you sell to, the hiring managers and buyers there, open deals, and every call, email and meeting. Most staffing CRMs come joined to an ATS, which tracks candidates, jobs, submittals and placements, because the two sides meet on every job order.
What is the difference between a staffing CRM and an ATS?
The CRM is the client side: companies, contacts and deals. The ATS is the candidate side: people, jobs, the pipeline, submittals and placements. A staffing firm needs both, and most products, including dreach, sell them as one system so a placement can be traced back to the deal and the call that started it.
