Longlist
Recruit, engage, and place faster.
What is Longlist
Longlist combines a recruitment CRM and ATS into one platform, letting staffing agencies find contact details, send personalized emails, automate follow-up sequences, post jobs, and track every candidate and client interaction from a single workspace. It's built for agency recruiters and RevOps teams at SMBs and mid-market firms that need to move candidates through a pipeline without juggling disconnected tools. The standout capability is its duplication check before outreach — the system flags existing contacts before a recruiter reaches out, preventing the kind of double-touch that damages client and candidate relationships. Integrations with ZoomInfo, Apollo, and ContactOut extend sourcing reach, and a Chrome extension lets recruiters capture contacts without leaving their browser. That said, Longlist is purpose-built for permanent recruitment workflows; teams running high-volume contract or temp staffing will likely find the feature set too narrow for their needs.

Vanderbuild take
We see Longlist as a focused recruitment CRM for agency teams that want sourcing, outreach, and pipeline tracking in one place — it's a practical fit for growth-stage staffing firms that have outgrown spreadsheets but aren't ready for enterprise ATS complexity. On the agentic readiness front, there's no public API and no MCP server — this is a UI-only tool, which means you can't drive it from an agent or plug it into an automation layer without scraping, so don't plan any agentic outbound workflows around it. Pricing is seat-based with an annual discount, which keeps it affordable for small teams, but costs will climb as headcount grows. The honest limitation here is depth: reporting and analytics are relatively shallow, and agencies that need granular revenue attribution or custom dashboards will want to pipe data into a separate BI tool.
