Is mandate management included in the free CRM?

Yes. Mandate pipelines, team access, and messaging are free to start. You pay for AI interviews and extra database views when you scale.

Can I run multiple mandates per client?

Yes. Each role or requisition gets its own Kanban while staying under the same client account.

How does this differ from Zoho Recruit?

Zoho charges per recruiter per month and is built for general recruiting. UnoJobs is mandate-first, India-priced, and includes AI interviews plus a candidate database without seat math.

Can I import my existing tracker?

Yes. Bulk-import candidates and map them to mandates—AI parses skills, comp, and notice period on upload.

The mandate-first CRM

One Kanban per client—not one tab per panic.

Role, comp band, timeline, and owner live on the mandate card. Candidates never leak across clients because pipelines are walled by default.

Mandate operations staffing firms actually run

Client mandate cards

Role, location, salary band, headcount, and deadline on one record—recruiters know what "done" means.

Owner + team permissions

Assign a lead recruiter per mandate; owners see agency-wide, recruiters see only their book.

Database tied to mandates

Source once, attach to the right client pipeline, search again on the next mandate.

Screening inside the mandate

Trigger ₹500 AI interviews from the Kanban stage—scorecards stay on the candidate card.

Pipeline velocity

See where mandates stall: sourced, screened, client-submitted, offer.

Submission audit trail

Who moved which candidate when—useful for client disputes and internal QA.

Why spreadsheets fail agencies

Spreadsheets don't know which client owns which candidate.

~15 min

Typical setup—mandates, recruiters, import

The industry today

Agencies track mandates in Excel tabs until two recruiters submit the same candidate to different clients—or a hot profile sits in row 47 with no follow-up.

Generic ATS tools model internal job posts, not fee-earning client mandates with separate SLAs and submission rules.

Why we built this

UnoJobs mandate management ties every candidate stage to a client mandate, with shared database search underneath so the next search starts warm instead of cold.
