Every record coded for your niche on arrival, so lists, matches and BD targets come from a market model, not keyword search.
Send the export from Recruit CRM; we clean, dedupe and code it, and you review a sample before go-live. No weekend of CSV wrangling.
Cross-tenant isolation attacked by 20 automated probes before every deploy, encrypted credentials, and a public security page that names the mechanisms.
Respect where due: Recruit CRM is a good modern ATS. The gap is the BD half. SearchOS includes the market brain (every record coded for your niche), buying-signal radar that turns market events into pitch-ready actions, candidate reverse-marketing with auto-picked targets, and a morning money-list that tells each desk where the next fee likely is. If you only want a system of record, they're cheaper; if you want a system that finds revenue, that's the difference.
Both let you talk to your CRM from Claude. The difference is what's underneath: SearchOS answers from a coded market model of your niche (who's adjacent to what, who's placeable where), not just your records as text.
Yes, done-for-you migration is included: export, send, and get back a cleaned, coded database.
The comparison that matters is a week of your real work. Free trial, no card, and your data comes in coded, not dumped.
