Recruitment tooling · built by recruiters

The recruitment stack, built by people who actually recruit.

30+ years combined on the desk, running our own successful agency. We've used every CRM and ATS going — and frankly, most are outdated and not fit for purpose. So we stopped hacking ours to fit our workflow, and built the tools we always wanted.

6 tools, one stack MCP-native by design AI-ready, not AI-dependent
The problem

You know the feeling.

Constantly bending your CRM to your workflow instead of the other way round — from systems that are generic, dated, and built by people who've never worked a desk.

And you're sick of…

One stack. One login. Your AI, your terms. No lock-in.

Our AI stance

AI-ready.
Not AI-dependent.

Every provider in recruitment is pushing AI right now. Here's the flaw most won't mention: they bake a single AI model deep into their system. You don't get a choice of model. You don't know what happens to your data. And when the real cost of AI lands — or when that one model goes down — your workflows, your users, and your bill are all hostage to someone else's decision.

Every VigoLabs tool is built on an MCP layer — the open standard that lets any AI talk to your data, securely and on your terms. Point your favourite LLM at it, use our built-in models, or run both. The choice is yours, not ours.

Your favourite LLM or Built-in models or Both

Portable

Swap models whenever you like — or run without one. You're never locked to a single provider, including ours.

Resilient

Your tools don't break when a model does. The stack keeps working; AI is a layer you control, not a dependency you're shackled to.

Private

Your data doesn't leave without your say-so. You choose the model, the terms, and what it's ever allowed to see.

The stack

Six tools. One system of record.

A tech stack that's bespoke to recruitment, because we built it for ourselves first. Everything hangs off VIGO CRM, every tool speaks MCP — one login, no juggling providers, no lock-in.

The system of record, done right.

The spine of the stack. Candidates, jobs, signals, search and pipeline — built the way recruiters actually work, so you're navigating and searching the way your brain already does. Everything else plugs straight into it.

STRIX

Analytics for recruiters.

Let's be honest — most built-in CRM analytics is, frankly, shit. Strix isn't. Build your own metrics and track them, filter by user, team or company, and read the room at a glance: stat cards with trends up or down, ratios, insights, leaderboards and records. Connect the MCP tool and ask Claude "did we have a good week? who hit target?" — and watch it unfold.

YOUR WEBSITE
Bespoke

Your front door should work for you.

Most recruitment websites are generic and, frankly, unfit for purpose — a brochure that just sits there. So ask yourself: does yours actually capture your audience and deliver revenue? When a client searches for a recruiter in your niche, where do you rank on Google — and do the major LLMs cite you as an authority? We built ours to do all three, with landing pages that push signals straight into the CRM. And guess what — it works.

ECHO
Live

Record & transcribe calls on any platform.

WhatsApp, FaceTime, Teams — if the call happens on your computer, Echo captures it. Set your own call types (candidate, qualification, BD, client discovery), auto-summarise, and log the notes straight back to your CRM. Hit record, hit finish, done. What it unlocks: hours of admin saved, real consistency, coaching tailored to each recruiter, market sentiment and intel — and any lead uncovered mid-call fires straight into your CRM. Cool, eh?
