What problems are you solving with your products and services?
We are building Longlist for small recruitment businesses, especially if you have just recently started your agency. Longlist is everything that you need in a technology solution to quickly fix your database, candidate & client management workflows. Small recruitment businesses often feel overwhelmed by the number of products & plug-ins that are out there, they end up spending a lot of time and money to take several subscriptions only to come to a stage where they end up complicating the process, which was supposed to be simplifying the job for them. Longlist is an all-in-one recruitment CRM, that integrates with recruiters’ inbox, Linkedin and all the major job boards for you to source and engage better while tracking all of this automatically. It comes with advanced reporting, sourcing, parsing capabilities which is all a part of the same solution. Hence one solution is all you need that gives you the ability to handle your entire recruitment workflow in one product, without breaking the bank. Most products have built a basic product that recruitment businesses need, and they charge them for each advanced functionalities. Young recruitment businesses often see themselves in a place where they don’t want to over invest in additional expensive plug-ins, but also feel their basic product is not giving them enough value on its own. Longlist brings the power of resume parsing, advanced sourcing on top of Linkedin & job boards, tracking & reporting all in one product and not as separate plugins. Apart from this we openly share the new product features that we are developing in the coming months with valued existing customers, we give them the opportunity to share their problems with us and co-create features that might be important for them. Recruitment businesses save a minimum of USD 7500 annually using Longlist. Our current customers end up saving 100 hours working hours every month by using Longlist with all its advanced capabilities, leading to more placements. Longlist CRM on the day 1 of the access would not only provide an interface to their clients but also populate new & existing data for their industry. Our customers love the part, that they never sign up to the product, with nothing on it and they keep waiting for the day when there will be enough data for them to utilize. Longlist would not only create candidate & client profiles from your CSV”s but also add new data from your industry, so your team is excited to log on to the product on the first day. Our clients in the onboarding itself are made to feel comfortable using automation & job postings.How does your mission differ from the other companies in your niche?

We aim to simplify running and growing a recruitment business and become the biggest provider of technology solutions to small and medium sized recruitment businesses globally.
What industries or business sizes benefit the most from your solutions?
Small recruitment businesses are Longlist’s heavy users, which is a tool exclusively built for recruitment businesses that could be operating across the industries. For example, we have clients across technology, Energy, Manufacturing, Retail, Banking, Healthcare and Oil & gas.
Small recruitment businesses often get trapped into using free tools for tracking and expensive tools for data. Longlist provides them a powerful combination of data, workflow management and automation. There are other products in the market that are built for similar audiences, however most of them would give you a very basic product to use as a small business, and for every little thing you need to test out for your business, you would end up paying 2-3X the cost of your original product.
Products like Bullhorn, Loxo and many more would provide basic features, that would not be anything more than a glorified spreadsheet. The moment you would sign up for slightly advanced (that are actually) capabilities, like Analytics, sourcing, Resume parsing, you would end up paying twice as much for the subscription.
Longlist is built for small businesses to succeed and hence all data, automation, advanced capabilities are at a disposal for all our customers.
For those concerned with data migration from one product to another and the adoption of the new product, we try to address that by providing free data import & expert.
Those above are the reasons why we are rated 5 stars on G2 and Capterra for adoption as the UI is very simple to use.
And what makes them eventually choose you over your competitors?
Longlist being one stop solution for our clients is the biggest reason they choose us, we end up replacing at least 4 different products & plug-ins they might be using currently.Ease of use is the other reason why they choose us. Product offers a very simple UI for experienced or even young recruiters. Adoption time to use Longlist in its full capacity has been less than 1 week.
