What it does
Crelate combines recruiting relationships and applicant tracking with onboarding that varies by role, client and work location. Its Crelate Hire tools organize required documents, signatures and credentials, including later renewals. Recruiting plans are sold per user, while onboarding is priced per hire; a card-free trial is requested through a form.
Crelate builds onboarding checklists from the role, client and location, with required items and named assignees. For signatures, upload a document from the contact record or use a template, set the signers' order and track their responses. Recurring checklists handle renewals; the credential grid distinguishes current, expiring and expired items.
| Recruiting plan | Main distinction |
|---|---|
| Essentials | Up to two users and 20,000 contacts |
| Business | Adds client portals, reports and email connections |
| Business Plus | Adds automation, sequences and greater customization |
| Platform | Custom user or site licensing, with agent and enterprise options |
Crelate Hire adds per-hire charges. Data Sync connections are priced by volume and frequency; texting, email campaigns and electronic signatures also cost extra.
Request the trial without a card. Crelate emails access within a few business hours; its starting guide then covers syncing email, creating a job and adding a candidate.
