Most CRMs are built to be demoed. Hound is built to be lived in — eight hours a day, on the phone, with forty roles open. Far more of your desk on screen, any record in one keystroke, and a CV that files itself.
Free for two recruiters and your first 50 contacts — candidates, clients and companies combined. No card, no countdown.
Press play — or take the controls yourself at any point.

Each one plays itself through, start to finish. Stop it whenever you like and drive it yourself — these are the real controls, not a picture of them.
Press play. Or hit ⌘K anywhere on this page.
One box, every record type. It ranks a candidate, the client who owns the role and the company behind it together — because when a phone rings you don’t know yet which one you need.
Press play to drop a CV in.
Drop a CV anywhere in Hound
Straight from Outlook, Teams or a folder. PDF, Word, RTF or plain text.
Waiting
The document is read, the fields come out, and you confirm them. The CV stays attached to the record — no retyping a phone number off a PDF ever again.
Press play — or click any card to advance it.
Every move is stamped and logged against the job, the candidate and the client at once, so the placement report at the end of the month writes itself.
Press play — or build one yourself from the pickers.
The chasing that eats a Friday afternoon — nudging clients on submissions, reminding yourself about a start date, raising the invoice — set once and left running.
Terms signed, invoice raised, commission counted — in the order a desk actually lives them, and in one system, because this is the part that ends up in three.
Press play — or sign it yourself in the box on the right.
Terms of Business — Permanent Placement
HOUND Staffing Demo · ABN 00 000 000 000
This agreement is made between the Agency and the Client named below. The Client agrees to the fees set out in this document for any candidate introduced by the Agency and subsequently engaged.
Your own details are yours to correct. The commercial terms are printed, not editable — and the server enforces that when the signature comes back, because a form field is a request, never a permission.
Sent from the company’s own profile as a private link. No account for them to create, no PDF to print, sign, scan and email back — which is where a week goes.
Press play — a placement from first entry to a scheduled invoice.
Every figure is read off the placement. Changing the template changes the layout, never the numbers.

Nothing is armed by default and no date is pre-filled — an invoice reaching a client is not something that should happen because a checkbox was already ticked.
One record carries the placement, the commission and the invoice, so the fee cannot say one thing on the placement and another on the bill — and the month’s commission is counted off the same figure.
Press play — or hover any revenue figure to see what it is made of.
Counted month by month against the minimum, so a quiet month earns nothing even inside a strong year — which is what a monthly minimum means, and what a spreadsheet gets wrong.
Send one private link. They see every application they have with you, which step each one is on, and what happens next — updated the moment you move them in the CRM. No login, no app, nothing for them to set up.
Included on every paid plan.

Not a CRM that hands you off to three other tools the moment a candidate says yes. The first three below are the ones an agency normally pays for somewhere else.
Each consultant has their own rate and monthly minimum, set for that financial year — so last year’s figures don’t move when this year’s terms change. Every month shows what was invoiced, what it earned, and the placements behind the number.
Usually a paid add-onAnnual, personal and carer’s, long service and the unpaid types. The balance is worked out from the requests themselves rather than stored, so it can’t drift — and nobody books time they haven’t got.
Usually a separate HR systemOne-to-one and group conversations inside the CRM, so a question about a candidate gets asked where the candidate is. Archive a thread and it goes quiet for you and nobody else.
Usually a separate subscriptionFour record types that know about each other. A company’s contacts, its live roles and every note anyone has left, on one page.
Build a list off any search, work it as a group, and send the whole shortlist to a client in one email.
Mail you send and receive is logged against the right record on its own, so the history is there without anyone maintaining it.
Terms of business signed online, invoices raised off the placement, margins tracked per consultant.
Submissions, interviews, fills and revenue by consultant and by month — read off the same rows the desk works, so it can’t disagree with itself.
Consultants see their desk, managers see the team, and the financials stay where they belong.
Two connections, each doing one job properly, rather than a directory of two hundred logos that mostly open a support ticket.
Connected per consultant, not per agency. Mail you send leaves from your own address, and mail that arrives is filed against the right candidate, client or company without anyone doing it. An admin can switch sent-logging and received-logging off for any individual.

Reads a CV and fills the candidate record, reformats a CV onto your own letterhead, and answers questions about whatever record is in front of you. This is the engine behind the CV demo above.
Your first 50 contacts are free — and a contact is any record: candidates, clients and companies added together. Two recruiters, every feature, no card and no expiry. Past 50 it is per recruiter, per month, with no implementation fee and no minimum term.
Up to 2 recruiters. No card, no expiry.
A contact is any record you have added — one candidate, one client or one company each count as one, and the fifty is the three of them added together. When you reach it nothing is locked, hidden, watermarked or deleted: every record stays where it is, everyone on the account keeps working, and every export still works. The only thing that needs a plan is the fifty-first.
So you do it yourself, without booking anything or waiting on anyone. Three steps — and your desk keeps billing through all of them.
Whatever your current system gives you: a CSV out of Bullhorn or JobAdder, or the spreadsheet somebody has been keeping instead. Candidates, clients and companies each go in as their own file.
Hound reads your headings and guesses — Cell, Contact Number and Phone (mobile) all find Mobile. Under each one it shows what that column holds in your first row, and it lists every column nothing is taking, so nothing goes missing quietly. Fields you have added yourself are offered like any other.
Save it under a name and next month’s file is two clicks. Run the old system alongside for as long as you want to — and if you would rather we did the first one for you, ask us. You just don’t have to.
The free plan needs no call, no card and nobody’s permission — so this page is for the things signing up doesn’t answer.
Several brands or offices under one login, single sign-on, moving your data across, or anything on this page you want to see properly before you commit to it. Say which it is and you’ll get an answer from somebody who has read it.
Support lives inside the CRM, next to whatever you are asking about — so sign in and use the assistant or your admin, rather than starting again out here.
Two recruiters, fifty records, no card and no expiry. You pay the first time you add your fifty-first record — by which point Hound is already running your desk.
