When a candidate declines the offer: agency recovery
When a candidate declines the client's offer, agency recruiters need a plan. Diagnose the real reason, confirm the brief, then choose the next move.
Built for recruitment agencies: candidates, clients and deals in one place. Leo, the built-in assistant, prepares the searches, follow-ups and client updates. Claude or ChatGPT can work in your data too.

Guide: choosing an ATS-CRM for your agency
What Leonar does, how its AI works, and how a switch happens.
A recruitment agency sells to two sides. Candidates sit in an ATS. Clients and deals often sit in a separate CRM, or in a spreadsheet. Consultants copy names from one to the other, and follow-ups get lost.
Leonar keeps both in one base. A candidate, the client company, its contacts and the deal live side by side. Each role has its own pipeline, and hiring managers see their shortlist in the client portal. See how Leonar works for recruitment agencies.
Leo searches your pool, sources profiles, finds decision makers and drafts follow-ups. You approve every send.
Connect Claude, ChatGPT or any MCP client to the Leonar MCP server. More than 100 tools, included in Professional.
The sourcing agent proposes profiles for each role. The Biz Dev agent finds companies to pitch your best candidates to.
