About Firefish
A recruitment CRM and ATS purpose-built for the UK agency desk, with careers sites, candidate portal and BD pipeline in the same platform.
Firefish is the recruitment CRM and ATS built in Glasgow for staffing and search agencies that want one platform across the recruiter desk, the BD desk and the candidate-marketing engine. The company sits in the upper mid-market of UK agency software, with a strong base in permanent, temporary and contract recruitment and a particular footprint in logistics, tech and construction. The product mixes the front-office surface a recruiter expects (candidates, jobs, applications, contacts, companies, placements, deals, hot lists, sales activities, sequences) with marketing tools that most pure ATSes leave out: a hosted careers website, a candidate portal, an email and outreach engine, automation workflows, search and match, and a hiring manager portal that lets clients shortlist without a Firefish seat.
That breadth is part of why agencies pick it. One platform covers the recruiter who works applications and submissions, the BD lead who works deals and pipeline, and the marketing owner who runs the careers site, talent pools and outbound campaigns. It is also why pulling Firefish into a warehouse pays off. Firefish itself knows which jobs were filled, which placements were signed and which sequences went out. It does not, on its own, tell you which sourcing channel produced placements that survived the first ninety days, what gross margin a desk runs after contractor pay and consultant split, or which BD deals stalled at the same stage in the same client account two quarters in a row. Those answers want Firefish placement, deal, application and activity tables next to your accounting ledger, your shared calendar and your candidate-marketing spend.
