#47- Building of an ATS: How Manan Shah built Recruiterflow for recruiters

  • Summary

  • Episode Summary

    In this episode, Clark Willcox interviews Manan Shah, CEO and co-founder of Recruiter Flow, an ATS platform designed for recruitment agencies. Manan shares how his journey into recruitment was an accidental shift from his original background in engineering and AI analytics. After building his first startup, he realized there was no software that could efficiently run a recruitment process like a well-oiled sales team. This insight led to the creation of Recruiter Flow, which started as a sales enablement tool for recruiters but evolved into a robust ATS built around customer feedback and a user-friendly approach.

    Manan and Clark dive into the balance of adding innovative features while maintaining simplicity. Shah emphasizes the importance of gradual implementation, encouraging recruiters to start with basic processes and then layer on advanced tools like automation and AI. They discuss how Recruiter Flow’s Chrome extension is a favorite feature for sourcing candidates and how the platform helps recruiters with email and SMS marketing while minimizing the risk of spam issues. Shah also shares that customer retention, rather than acquisition, has become the strongest indicator of long-term success for recruitment agencies.

    The conversation highlights the growing role of AI in recruitment, with Manan explaining how Recruiter Flow uses AI for tasks like job-to-candidate matching and predictive analytics. However, both he and Clark agree that while AI can enhance efficiency, the core of successful recruiting remains rooted in strong human relationships and understanding client and candidate needs. Manan's vision for the future of recruitment tech is clear: AI will be impactful, but the human touch will always be irreplaceable.

    Manan’s Bio

    Over the years, he has built a few software products that have made life easier for others. His journey began in 2013, when he and his friends built "Retention.ai," aiming to provide product managers and marketers with visibility into user churn. After raising a million dollars in funding and successfully scaling the business, they sold it to Inshorts.

    Recruiterflow was born out of years of frustration with outdated recruiting tools. One day, he gave up trying to stitch together different tools and decided to build one that he and his team would have loved to use. At Recruiterflow, their goal is to help recruiters put more people to work—faster!

    When he’s not working, he loves spending all his free time with his baby boy. He’s also obsessed with chess, Liverpool FC, and anime!
