Resources, tips and best practices for recruiters
Freelance recruiting is one of the most natural paths for anyone with in-house or agency experience. What an independent recruiter does, how to land your first clients, how to charge, and the first-year mistakes to avoid.
Most ATS platforms are designed for corporate HR teams, not for a recruiter working solo. Which criteria actually matter when choosing, what the market offers, and where Hilancer fits honestly.
Jarvi costs US$158 per user per month; Hilancer starts free. We compare platform, AI, candidate experience and collaboration so you can choose without the marketing noise.
Kruiters is a Windows desktop ATS with local data and a rock-bottom price; Hilancer is a web ATS + CRM with AI and a job portal. Here is an honest look at when each one makes sense.
Publishing only on third-party job sites has a silent cost: candidates remember the site, not you. Your own job board puts your brand first, gets your openings into Google for Jobs and captures spontaneous talent.
Sourcing happens on LinkedIn, but your process lives in your ATS. Every hand-copied profile means lost minutes and typos. A Chrome extension closes that gap: one click and the candidate is in your database.
The candidate confirmed by email and never showed up. It is not bad faith: email competes with a saturated inbox. WhatsApp reminders using official Meta templates, plus Google Calendar and Meet, attack no-shows from both sides.
The team lead needs to see metrics and information from all members. Corporate ATS are complex and expensive. Hilancer Teams delivers the essentials without the bureaucracy.
