### [Candidate Relationship Management](https://www.leonar.app/features/candidate-relationship-management/)

Candidate relationship management is the practice of nurturing your candidate pool between roles, not just during them. Leonar gives recruiters a purpose-built workspace to track every candidate touchpoint over years: previous applicants, sourced profiles, silver medalists, and warm leads. Every interaction across email, LinkedIn, and phone is captured in a unified timeline, and the talent database becomes a proprietary asset that compounds with every placement.

### [Unified Inbox](https://www.leonar.app/features/centralized-inbox/)

Centralize every conversation from Email, LinkedIn, and SMS into a single, shared inbox to speed up responsiveness and collaboration.

Leonar's unified inbox brings LinkedIn messages, emails, WhatsApp, and SMS into one streamlined view, with real-time synchronization across all channels. Every message is automatically linked to the corresponding candidate profile, so you always have full context before replying. You can even record and send LinkedIn voice notes from your desktop, no phone needed, and the voice notes candidates send you play inline right in the thread.

Leonar changes this by tracking every metric that matters: time-to-hire, cost-per-hire, source effectiveness, team productivity, and conversion rates at each pipeline stage. Real-time dashboards replace end-of-month spreadsheet exercises, giving you the insights to optimize your process continuously.

FAQ

## Frequently asked questions

### How does AI talent sourcing in Leonar work?

You define your ideal candidate profile and Leonar's AI continuously scans more than 870 million profiles across 30+ sources for matches. New candidates are surfaced automatically as they become available, so sourcing runs around the clock instead of only when you remember to search.

### Can Leonar show me the talent landscape before I start hiring?

Yes. Talent mapping shows availability, salary ranges and competition levels for any role by location, skills and experience. This helps you set realistic expectations with stakeholders and spot talent hotspots or underserved markets.

### Does the AI know the best time and channel to reach someone?

Yes. Leonar detects engagement signals that suggest a candidate may be open to new opportunities, such as profile updates or job changes. It then recommends the best outreach window and the channel each candidate is most likely to respond on.

### How is this different from searching manually?

Manual search covers a fraction of the market and only happens when you make time for it. Leonar's AI reviews thousands of candidates across 870M+ profiles continuously, giving a solo recruiter the reach of a much larger team.
