Recruitier offers a 14-day free trial with full access to all features and 100 starter
credits. No credit card is required for the first 7 days. Your trial timer starts when
you verify your email, not when you register — so take your time confirming your account.
Create your account
Go to app.recruitier.com/register and sign up
with your email address and a password (minimum 8 characters).After submitting the registration form, check your inbox for a verification email and
click the confirmation link. This activates your account, grants you 100 starter credits,
and begins your 14-day trial period.If you have received an invitation from your agency, use the invitation link instead.
This will associate your account with your team automatically and give you access to
shared resources from day one.
Set up your profile and connect email
After logging in for the first time, you are taken to the profile setup page.
Complete these essential setup steps:
- Personal information — Enter your first name and last name. These appear in your outreach messages and help the AI personalize communications.
- Choose your goal — Select the workflow that best describes how you work: Candidate Placement, Business Development, Speculative Placement, or Job Marketing. This customizes your onboarding checklist steps.
- Connect your email — Link your Gmail or Microsoft Outlook account from the Settings page so you can send outreach messages directly from Recruitier. Your email signature is imported automatically and cached for fast use in message composition.
You can change your goal and email connection at any time from the Settings page.
Your initial choice simply tailors the onboarding experience. Changing your goal
later does not reset your progress — steps you already completed remain done.
Take the guided tour (earn bonus credits)
After setting up your profile and arriving at the dashboard, Recruitier shows a
welcome modal that offers an interactive guided tour. The tour walks you through
the platform’s key features in 12 steps, covering the dashboard, sidebar navigation,
candidate management, client discovery, outreach, and settings.The tour is a single continuous walkthrough that takes approximately 3-5 minutes.
It covers navigation, candidate uploads, client search, outreach flows, and
settings — regardless of which goal you selected.You can skip the tour and return to it later from the onboarding checklist widget,
but the bonus credits are only awarded on first completion.
Upload your first candidate CV
Navigate to the Candidates section from the left sidebar. Click the Add Candidate
button and upload a CV file (PDF or Word document).Recruitier’s AI will automatically extract:
- Name, email, phone number, and location
- Job title and professional summary
- Skills with confidence scores
- Experience level and years of experience
- Education level
Run your first job search
Go to the Searches section and click New Search. Enter the key details:
- Job title or description — What role are you looking for? (e.g., “Python Developer”)
- Location — Where should the jobs be based? (e.g., “Amsterdam”)
- Additional filters — Optionally narrow by experience level, job type (full-time, part-time, contract), flexibility (remote, hybrid, on-site), and recency (posted within the last week, month, etc.)
All job searches are free — search as much as you want without worrying about
credits. Credits are only consumed when retrieving contact persons.
Discover potential clients
Open the Client Discovery section to find companies that might need your recruitment
services. This database contains thousands of Dutch companies enriched with real-time
hiring data.Use the filters to narrow your results:
- Industry — Focus on your specialization (e.g., “Information Technology”, “Healthcare”)
- Location and radius — Find companies near a specific city
- Employee count — Target companies of a certain size
- Hiring activity — Sort by hiring intensity to find companies with the highest ratio of open positions to employees — these are the ones most likely to need help
Staffing and recruiting agencies are automatically excluded from client search
results. This ensures your results focus on real potential clients, not competitors.

Optimizing Your First Search
Your first search sets the tone for your Recruitier experience. Here are tips to get the best results:- Be specific with job titles — “Senior Python Developer” returns better results than just “Developer”
- Set a reasonable location radius — 30-50 km covers most Dutch commute zones
- Use experience level filters — This dramatically reduces noise in results
- Link to a candidate — Candidate-linked searches use the full profile for scoring, producing more relevant results than standalone searches
- Check results across match tiers — Excellent matches are your priority, but Good matches sometimes contain hidden opportunities
How Notifications Keep You Updated
Recruitier uses Server-Sent Events (SSE) to deliver notifications in real time. When your search completes, a toast notification appears in your browser — even if you have navigated to a different page. Key notification types you will see early on:- Search completion — Results are ready to review
- Matching results — AI scoring for a candidate is complete
- Contact details found — New contact information discovered for a company
- Task completion — Background processing (CV parsing, data enrichment) is done
