A sales dialer doesn’t know what a shortlist is
JustCall was built for sales teams working leads, and the AI is billed on top of whichever of four tiers you picked. Recruitly is a recruitment CRM with the phone inside it.
Where the bill actually ends
Published tiers run from around $19 to $89 per user per month, and the AI voice and review capabilities are charged on top of whichever one you chose.
Nothing about the phone is sold separately
It is a feature of your CRM, not a product with a price list.
A recruitment call is not a sales call
Sales tooling optimises for volume into a list of strangers. Recruitment runs on a small number of people you will speak to for years, on both sides of the desk.
Who you're calling
A lead in a sequence
A sales dialer
A candidate at second stage, or the client who owns the role
Recruitly
What matters
Dials, connects, talk time
A sales dialer
What was agreed, and what happens next
Recruitly
Where it lands
An activity row synced across
A sales dialer
A note on the candidate and the job, and a queued callback

One product, one bill, built for your desk
One bill, no add-on ladder
Numbers licensed monthly, minutes at cost plus a small margin, AI by the call. Nothing about the phone is sold as a separate package.
Built around candidates, not leads
The AI knows shortlists, interviews, offers and fee stages — because it is reading the same database your consultants work in all day.
The write-up lands on the record
Recording, transcript with real names and the summary as a note on the candidate and the job. No connector, no sync status.
The rest of the desk
Jobs, applications, placements, billings, campaigns, WhatsApp and the CRM itself, in the same subscription as the phone.
Horizontal tools, vertical business
Every general-purpose dialer solves the average customer’s problem. Nobody in recruitment is the average customer.
We built the phone inside a recruitment CRM, so the AI speaks your language: it briefs you on the candidate’s stage and the promise you left hanging, writes the summary onto the person and the job, and queues the callback you committed to on the call.
No integration reaches that, because an integration does not own the pipeline it would have to read. That is the whole argument for vertical integration, and it is why the phone is cheap here — it is a feature, not a business.

Questions before you move
What does JustCall really cost once the AI is on?
At the time of writing their tiers publish from around $19 to $89 per user per month with a two-licence minimum, and the AI capabilities — voice agents and review assistance — are billed on top of the tier you picked, with add-on packages reported around $99 a month. So the plan price is where the bill starts rather than where it lands. Check their site for today's numbers; the structure is what to plan around.
It's a well-regarded dialer. Why would a recruitment agency move?
Because it was built for sales teams working leads, and a recruitment desk is not that. Your call is a candidate at second stage, a client changing a spec, or a placement about to fall over. Recruitly's briefing is built from your pipeline — where this person is, what you promised them, what the job needs — and the write-up goes onto the candidate and the job. A sales dialer can log that a call happened. It cannot understand what the call was about.
Do I lose power-dialing and outbound volume by moving?
No. Click-to-call from any record and any list, a call queue that fills itself from your own commitments and from inbound calls nobody returned, dial straight from the queue, and every call logged with duration, outcome, recording and summary. What changes is that volume stops being the point: the system tells you which calls are worth making rather than just helping you make more of them.
Can I keep my numbers?
Yes. Porting is built into Recruitly — raise the order, upload the paperwork the losing carrier needs, and track it to the switchover date. Your numbers belong to you. Start early, because porting runs on the carriers' timetable, and the rest of Recruitly can go live while it is in progress.
Can we run both while we migrate?
Yes. Recruitly logs calls from the common recruitment dialers into the same Call Logs, so you can move one desk at a time and keep a single view of the team's calling throughout. Port the numbers when the contract lets you.
What am I getting besides a phone system?
The whole agency: jobs, candidates, applications, contacts, companies, deals, placements, billings, interviews, campaigns, WhatsApp, e-signature, leaderboards for the office TVs, an AI hub for matching and CV formatting, and a Chrome extension that scores LinkedIn profiles against your live jobs. The phone is one line of that, which is exactly why it can be cheap.
Your calls are recruitment. Your phone should be too.
