How Pixie fits your business

Connect the client brief to the placement relationship.

The detail in a client brief is easily lost when the account manager hands work to a delivery consultant. A shared account context helps colleagues find the agreed requirement, decision maker and next client conversation.

For recruitment agencies, staffing businesses and executive-search teams, the value of a CRM is the working context it gives the next person. Start with customer and contact records, then connect the delivery and service activities that matter to your team. An account owner should be able to find the current commitment, the open question and the person taking it forward.

A practical starting point

Walk through one real example from develop the account to manage the placement. Use your own documents and handovers to decide which fields, roles and modules the first release needs.

The work, step by step

A shared thread from enquiry to the next conversation.

Give each stage a clear owner and an agreed handover. These are example steps for recruitment & staffing; the final process should reflect your service model and the systems you already use.

  1. 01

    Develop the account

    Record the employer relationship and the business-development next step.

  2. 02

    Confirm the brief

    Capture the agreed role requirements and administrative responsibilities.

  3. 03

    Coordinate delivery

    Assign client updates, interview-administration tasks and commercial follow-up.

  4. 04

    Manage the placement

    Review the agreed fee, outstanding actions and future account opportunities.

Build around the work you do

Relevant modules for recruitment & staffing.

Use these capabilities as a focused shortlist. Module availability, configuration and any integration work are confirmed for your proposed setup; you can review the complete module catalogue for additional requirements.

Across the workflow, assess staff roles and permissions, automation rules and reporting together. Agree who can act, which reminders are useful and how exceptions will be reviewed.

A considered rollout

Make the first release useful to the people doing the work.

Assess candidate privacy, retention, applicant tracking, payroll and agency-worker requirements separately. Do not assume a client CRM provides automated candidate ranking or a complete recruitment compliance system.

Review the integration directory and security information against the scope you actually need. Ask for a demonstration of the handover that currently causes the most friction.

  1. Map one real journey. Identify the contacts, documents, decisions and exception that make the example representative of your business.
  2. Agree data ownership. Decide which system owns each record, what moves between systems and who reviews an update that fails.
  3. Configure and validate. Test roles, field requirements, communication and the billing handover using representative information before a wider rollout.
  4. Support adoption. Give the workflow an internal owner, provide practical team guidance and review whether the setup helps colleagues complete their next action.

Use the CRM implementation guide and migration checklist to prepare the first discussion.

Specialist workflows to explore

These additional capability pages are available on request. Review their stated scope with Pixie before selecting a configuration or assuming a specialist requirement is covered.

Useful answers

Questions from recruitment & staffing teams.

Use these answers to shape the conversation about your proposed configuration.

Can our recruiters keep their applicant-tracking system?

Yes. Define the client-facing CRM workflow first, then scope a connection to the applicant-tracking system only where it has a clear owner, supported interface and appropriate data permissions.

Which modules should our team start with?

Start with the relationship record and the most important handover in your recruitment & staffing process. The module shortlist above explains the role of each suggested capability. Select the smallest useful first scope, then review permissions, data preparation and any specialist connection before rollout.

How do we connect the systems we already use?

List the systems involved in develop the account and manage the placement. For each connection, agree the record owner, supported interface, matching rules and exception process. The integration planning guide explains what to prepare before a live sync.

How can we review pricing and implementation scope?

Use the current pricing page as your starting point and discuss the modules, users, data and connections your workflow needs. Confirm the proposed configuration and implementation work with the Pixie team before treating an example industry workflow as a complete deployment.
