About TE Recruit
TE Recruit™ is recruiting software built specifically for staffing and recruiting agencies that want to simplify operations, strengthen candidate and client relationships, and make more placements.
Developed by Top Echelon, a trusted recruiting technology provider for nearly four decades, TE Recruit combines an applicant tracking system (ATS) and recruiting CRM in one intuitive platform. Teams can manage candidates, clients, contacts, companies, job orders, pipelines, communications, tasks, and placement activity from a single workspace.
TE Recruit helps recruiters reduce manual work and stay focused on revenue-generating activity with customizable workflows, email sequences, automation, resume parsing, candidate sourcing, job posting, activity tracking, dashboards, and reporting. AI-powered tools help teams work faster, including job description generation, search assistance, and AI People Search, which uses semantic search to find relevant candidates based on meaning and context, not only exact keyword matches. AI People Search is available with TE Recruit Pro.
Built-in integrations connect TE Recruit with email, job boards, calling and texting platforms, and other tools used across the recruiting workflow. An open API, available with TE Recruit Pro, gives firms additional flexibility to connect systems, share data, and build custom workflows.
TE Recruit is designed for independent recruiters, executive search firms, and small to midsize staffing agencies that need powerful recruiting technology without unnecessary complexity. Guided onboarding, training, and responsive customer support are included, helping teams adopt the platform quickly and get long-term value from their investment.
For firms that want to expand beyond their own database and job pipeline, TE Network™ is available as an optional add-on. TE Network is Top Echelon’s split-placement recruiter network, giving members access to additional candidates, job orders, and collaboration opportunities. TE Recruit and TE Network can be used together through the integrated Network Feed for maximum impact, or either solution can be used on its own.
With intuitive workflows, modern AI and automation, strong integrations, predictable pricing, and support from a team that understands recruiting, TE Recruit helps agencies improve productivity, increase visibility, and grow without adding unnecessary software complexity.

TE Recruit Product Features
AI Recruiting
TE Recruit™ is AI recruiting software designed to help agency recruiters work faster without giving up control of the search and hiring process. TE Recruit Pro includes AI People Search, which uses semantic search technology as well as Natural Language Search to identify relevant candidates based on meaning, context, related skills, and comparable job titles, not only exact keyword matches. It provides an alternative to traditional Boolean search and can surface qualified talent that might otherwise be overlooked. Additional AI tools assist with job description creation and search development, while automation and sequencing reduce repetitive follow-up work. Because these capabilities are built into TE Recruit’s ATS + CRM, teams can move from search to engagement within the same recruiting workflow.
Applicant Tracking
TE Recruit™ is an applicant tracking system designed specifically for staffing and recruiting agencies. It centralizes candidates, resumes, job orders, pipelines, submissions, interviews, communications, tasks, and placement activity in one intuitive workspace. Recruiters can search and source talent, parse resumes, post jobs, automate repetitive steps, and monitor progress across every open role. TE Recruit Pro adds AI People Search, which uses semantic search to find relevant candidates by meaning and context as an alternative to traditional Boolean and keyword search. Configurable workflows, reporting, integrations, guided onboarding, and responsive support make TE Recruit a strong ATS for agencies that want modern capability without enterprise bloat.
CRM
TE Recruit™ is a recruiting CRM built for staffing agencies, executive search firms, and independent recruiters. It helps teams manage companies, contacts, client relationships, business development activity, job orders, communications, tasks, and follow-up in one connected system. Recruiters can track every interaction, automate outreach with sequences and workflows, and gain clear visibility into sales and recruiting pipelines. Because TE Recruit also includes applicant tracking, teams can manage client development and candidate delivery without switching platforms. Built-in integrations, reporting, configurable workflows, an open API with TE Recruit Pro, and responsive onboarding and support help recruiting businesses improve consistency, strengthen relationships, and grow without unnecessary software complexity.
Candidate Sourcing
TE Recruit™ helps staffing agencies and executive search firms source candidates from both their own database and external recruiting channels. Recruiters can search resumes, parse candidate data, post jobs, organize prospects, and manage outreach from one ATS + CRM. TE Recruit Pro’s AI People Search uses semantic search to find relevant candidates across related skills, experience, and job titles, complementing traditional keyword and Boolean methods. Built-in integrations support job boards and other sourcing tools, while automation helps teams follow up consistently once candidates are identified. Firms can also add TE Network™ to access shared candidates, additional job orders, and split-placement opportunities through the integrated Network Feed, extending sourcing reach beyond the internal database.

TE Recruit Additional Categories
Candidate Relationship Management
TE Recruit™ is candidate relationship management software that helps staffing and recruiting teams build, maintain, and activate stronger talent pipelines. Recruiters can centralize candidate profiles, resumes, notes, communication history, tasks, submissions, interviews, and follow-up activity so every relationship stays visible and actionable. Email sequences, workflow automation, activity tracking, and integrated communication tools support more consistent engagement over time. TE Recruit Pro also includes AI People Search, using semantic search to uncover relevant candidates whose experience may be described with different titles or terminology. By combining candidate relationship management with ATS and recruiting CRM capabilities, TE Recruit helps agencies turn their existing database into a more useful long-term recruiting asset.
Recruitment CRM
TE Recruit™ is a recruitment CRM created for agencies that manage both client development and candidate delivery. It gives recruiters one place to track companies, contacts, job orders, sales activity, candidate pipelines, communications, tasks, and placements. Configurable workflows, email sequences, automation, dashboards, and reporting help teams keep follow-up consistent and give owners clearer visibility into pipeline health and recruiter activity. Because applicant tracking is built into the same platform, firms can connect business development directly to sourcing, submissions, and placements. TE Recruit also integrates with common recruiting tools, offers an open API with Pro, and includes onboarding, training, and responsive support for teams that want a CRM designed around recruiting rather than a generic sales process.

"TE Recruit Review" 5 out of 5 stars Posted 2026-08-12
Pros: The ease of use and there constantly making it better. The new features are masking your investment look better and better.
Cons: I didn't like having to migrate all my data from Bullhorn to TE Recruit (Big Biller)
Overall: It is a very easy software to use and keep up to date. My problem was using the software because the more I used it the more work it created. TE Recruit has easy to use cards and even less computer savvy people like me can use it.
