In short

What you need to know.
Before the cell-by-cell detail.

Recruit CRM is an “AI first” ATS + CRM published in the United States, used by 1,500+ agencies in 100+ countries and highly rated by its users. Its model combines a per-user price with credits: multi-posting, AI matching and sourcing, the note-taker, LinkedIn and WhatsApp messaging or timesheets consume credits on top of the subscription. Marvin targets French-speaking agencies and IT services firms: multi-posting included in the subscription, interview notes on the Suite plan, French job boards, data hosted in Paris, native placement and day-rate invoicing.

Why Marvin over Recruit CRM

What tips the decision.

  1. Data hosted in France

    At Recruit CRM, data is replicated across Ireland, Singapore and the United States, with a dedicated EU server on Enterprise.

  2. Multi-posting included, French job boards covered

    At Recruit CRM, multi-posting consumes credits and French boards are not documented.

  3. Native placement and day-rate invoices

    Recruit CRM’s help centre calls its invoice template “still very basic”.

  4. MCP server and API on both plans

    At Recruit CRM, from the Business plan up.
