Selling software and online tools for businesses to recruitment agencies

Recruitment agencies are sales driven businesses, from solo recruiters to firms with many desks per sector. Directors buy tools that help consultants fill roles faster, and they understand outbound selling better than most.

Software companies that sell to small and medium businesses often rely on inbound signups, content and paid ads. A lead database of the exact business types you serve adds a direct outbound channel that you control yourself.

Every month you do not reach recruitment agencies with a clear offer, someone else does. A list you own lets you work the market in a steady rhythm instead of in bursts.

What software companies run into with recruitment agencies

Buying contact data for a narrow vertical is expensive and often outdated.

Build the list yourself from public sources, import it and keep it fresh on your own server.

Outbound lists and product signups live in different places.

Keep prospects in one database with statuses and tags, and export to CSV whenever another system needs them.

Jobs@ addresses fill up with candidate applications.

Tick info@ and hello@ as well and record which address brought a reply.

Agencies post many jobs, so the same agency appears again and again in scraped lists.

Duplicates are flagged on import against your key field, before anything is saved.

Website	Needed to derive an email when the export has none.
Sectors	Tech, healthcare or industrial recruiters need different tools.
Consultants	The number of desks shows how many seats a tool could fill.
Permanent or temporary	Temp agencies need payroll and compliance support.
Recruitment software	Their current system matters for any switch.
Director	The person who signs off on tools and suppliers.

Questions people ask

How do I avoid the same agency appearing many times from job board data?

Choose the website or company name as the key field. Riftjaw flags duplicates in the file and against the database before you push the import.

Can I sell to recruiters and use Riftjaw as a recruiter myself?

Yes. Riftjaw is a general lead database. You can create separate lead files, or use the Agency plan with a workspace per client.

How do I get email addresses for recruitment agencies in your area?

If your file has an email column, that wins. If it only has websites, tick the prefixes you want, such as info@, jobs@, hello@ and careers@, and Riftjaw derives addresses from each domain. Derived addresses are good guesses, not verified, so start with small batches.

Is it free to start?

Yes. The Free plan runs the whole pipeline on one list with small campaigns, and you do not need a credit card. Move to Pro when you want more lists, segments and bigger campaigns.
