Recruitly is a traditional recruitment CRM and ATS that handles candidate management and job distribution. Kolvera is a pre-ATS BD tool that handles prospecting, enrichment, outreach and the messy front-end work. Different parts of the recruitment workflow.
Where Recruitly Excels
Recruitly is a capable all-in-one recruitment platform. Its ATS features are mature — AI-powered CV parsing, candidate matching and 50+ job board integrations make it solid for agencies that need the full recruitment lifecycle. The startup discount programme (75% off for 3 years) makes it accessible for new agencies.
Where Kolvera Pulls Ahead
Kolvera's advantage is in BD intelligence and outreach — the work before you have candidates to manage:
- Built-in enrichment: Discover emails and phone numbers without leaving the platform. Recruitly requires external tools like Lusha or Apollo.
- AU-specific data sources: ASIC company search reveals directors. ABR verification confirms registrations. SEEK scraping identifies hiring companies. No other recruitment CRM offers these natively.
- AI-powered campaigns: Generate personalised sequences with AI, run A/B tests, and track replies — all where your contacts and enrichment data live.
Complementary Positioning
These platforms can complement each other. Kolvera owns prospecting and BD. Once a prospect converts, your ATS (Recruitly, Bullhorn, JobAdder) takes over for candidate management. Kolvera integrates with 8 recruitment CRMs to push clean data downstream.
Pricing for Growing Agencies
Recruitly's per-user pricing starts lower but scales with headcount. A five-person agency pays roughly A$195/mo. Kolvera's Agency plan at A$299/mo includes 5 seats, 5,000 credits, unlimited campaigns and built-in enrichment — features that would require separate subscriptions alongside Recruitly.
