talentkiwi, directly in SugarCRM.

PLU adds candidates to its network, often through referrals, before there is a suitable role. That is why all the data comes together in its own SugarCRM, tailored to executive assistance.

CVs, references and supporting documents are processed together. Strengths, language skills and summaries are available in SugarCRM for interview preparation.

Just try it: first the app, then the CRM

Getting started is straightforward and practical: no major integration effort, and no obligation to start with the CRM integration straight away. The talentkiwi app gives you a boost from the very first step, especially for smaller agencies. Once that is working, the CRM integration makes the process even more seamless.

“Definitely give it a try. You don’t need to put in a huge effort to integrate it.”
