Preloaded with a full example firm. No signup, nothing to install.

The example firms you will meet inside the live demo

An ATS is only worth what your team actually puts into it.

So Demure is built for the recruiter, not the buyer.

One workspace See what the client sees The money built in Automations on your logic
Handwritten notes and spreadsheets, the disconnected stack most staffing firms run todayThe stack most firms run today
The problem

Big systems were built for software buyers, not delivery teams.

Ask anyone running a desk inside one.

Check the ones that happen at your firm.

A delivery team should be closing, not coordinating software.

The product

The Hiring Room, and everything behind it.

Tracking candidates is table stakes. Getting an answer back is the hard part.

Where your brand matters

Job posts and the Hiring Room wear your name.

Nobody buys an ATS for the logo. But your job posts and your Hiring Room should say your firm and nothing else. Pick your color once.

One platform. Every record connected.

Your ATS stores candidates. Demure runs the business around them.

  • Real drag and drop, with day counters on every card
  • Search every record from one field, export anything to CSV
  • Placed drafts the invoice and files the follow-up, automatically

Built for the recruiter, not the admin.

Data goes stale because logging the work costs more than skipping it. Demure makes the fast path the correct one.

  • One drag moves the stage, the clock, and the client view
  • Day counters on every card, amber when a candidate stalls
  • One search field across candidates, roles, clients, and notes
  • Nothing to retype, nothing to export, no second system

The placement is not the finish line.

Offer accepted is where most systems stop and the spreadsheets start. Demure carries the hire through to first day.

  • Onboarding checklists by client, role, and location
  • Documents out for signature, filed back automatically
  • Licenses and certifications with expiry warnings
  • Background checks tracked against the record

The money is not an add-on.

An ATS tells you a role was filled. Demure tells you what it earned.

  • Margin per placement, per client, per month
  • Aging chips on every open invoice
  • Overdue sweep flips status and files the chase task
  • Collection health on the analytics board

On AI

AI that does the admin, not the judgment.

Scoring humans on data your team never had time to enter is theater. Demure points its AI at the paperwork instead.

  • Resumes parsed into a full profile on upload
  • Call notes turned into a summary on the record
  • Job posts drafted from the intake, in your voice
  • Every draft reviewed by a human before it sends

Flags what is slippingStalls, quiet accounts, expiring credentials
Does not
Rank your candidates in secretNo opaque match score deciding who is worth a call
Does not
Send anything on its ownA person approves every message that leaves

Analytics that answer why.

Most reporting tells you a search took twice as long. Demure tells you where it stalled and who it stalled with.

  • Where candidates drop off, stage by stage
  • Client health, flagging accounts going quiet
  • Revenue by recruiter, client, and role type
  • Activity against outcomes, not vanity counts

Beyond the placement

The rest of the firm, in the same platform.

Most ATS platforms stop at the hire. Your firm does not.

Consulting

Retainers and projects on a board.

Advisory work, RPO, and project engagements tracked like a real project tool. Owners, due dates, and status on every item.

  • Boards per engagement, items dragged across status
  • Deliverables with owners and due dates
  • Hours and retainer burn against the fee
  • Client-safe view, internal notes stay internal

Coaching

Mentorship you can actually see.

Post-placement coaching and internal mentorship on a cadence, with every session logged against the person. The thing most firms promise and cannot prove.

  • Coaching plans per person, with a cadence
  • Sessions logged, rated, and searchable
  • Overdue alerts when a check-in slips
  • Retention visible against the placement

Built for your desk

Three desks. One platform.

Demure bends to how you bill, not the other way around.

Retained and executive

Long searches, few candidates, high stakes.

  • A Hiring Room per search, with vetting notes
  • Milestone billing across the retainer
  • Engagement tracking on every client open
Contingent and perm

Speed to submit decides who gets paid.

  • One drag from sourced to submitted
  • Stale flags before a client goes quiet
  • Fee and margin logged at placement
Temp and contract

Volume, credentials, and repeat starts.

  • Onboarding checklists per client and role
  • Credential expiry tracked before it lapses
  • Redeploy from the Talent Library, not from scratch
The math

Your numbers, not our case studies.

Vendors love a big percentage with someone else's name on it. Put in your own desk instead and see what runs through Demure in a year.

Questions

Asked by firms like yours.

Is Demure an ATS or a recruiting CRM?

Both, in one platform. The CRM side holds clients, contacts, and business development. The ATS side runs candidates from sourced to placed. Most firms buy them separately and pay to connect them. Read the full explainer.

How much does recruiting CRM software cost?

Most platforms in this category run $85 to $165 per user, per month, and often charge more for AI. Demure is $79 per user, per month with everything included. See the full pricing comparison.

Will our recruiters actually use it?

That is the whole design brief. When updating the board is faster than avoiding it, the data stays true.

Where does our data live?

The demo runs in your browser. Production is a dedicated backend per firm. Either way, CSV out whenever you want.

What does it cost?

$79 per user, per month, with unlimited job postings and every feature included. No add-on modules, no separate AI tier.

What do our clients and candidates see?

Your firm, and only your firm. Demure is sold to firms, never to your clients.

Run the desk, not the software.

Founding firms get the keys first and lock the rate.
