Welcome to the group James. In the interest of full disclosure I want to inform you that I work for Avature and we have a product called RecruitingCRM (as the name would suggest, a CRM designed for recruiting). That being said, I think you will find varied answers whenever you ask a question like yours. I'm not sure a consensus has emerged but what I will say is that I tend to run into three camps of CRM buyers in recruiting - 1) looking for a pure play CRM system designed specifically for recruiting (low cost, generally plug and play) 2) looking at the platform-as-a-service model like Salesforce or SugarCRM where they can develop their own customizations on the platform and/or buy apps from an exchange (not plug-and-play but highly customized and generally the most expensive route) and 3) buy a CRM from their ATS or other existing recruiting software provider because it's integrated (albeit not usually as robust as a pure play CRM). I'd be happy to discuss in more detail if you'd like.

Cheers,
Mike

I am new to the group and I haven’t yet read through all of the discussions. With that confession over with, can anyone tell me whether any consensus has emerged as to which CRM software solution is the top pick for small recruiting operations?

Is anyone using Dynamics CRM? I would be interested in sharing roll-out best practices and pain points.

Oh, I'm interested. Considering I am leading my company's development of a CRM/data mining suite. Though I haven't seen much discussion of whether it's "better" to have a web based CRM like Salesforce or an application based CRM such as sage's Act, or a reasonable hybrid that incorporates enterprise PIM functionality with secure distributed data mining.

Charles, it's not specific to any product or firm. If you're interested in the use of CRM systems for recruiting then it's a group for discussing issues, ideas, concerns, best practices, etc.

I am a little confused by this group. Is this a place to discuss issues related to CRM applications with recruiters or is this a group dedicated to a CRM application firm to flog its wares?

Too bad there are no good studies that I have seen that compare value of pipelining verse not pipelining. For example comparing the cost of hire for Pharmacist (Walgreens vs CVS vs Longs vs Costco vs WalMart). No doubt the best pipeliners have the lowest cost per hire... even though the time to hire may be significantly longer.
