Build your CRM for free — run it on a licence with an SLA

The app is free and open source, so you build and shape it around your desk — your pipeline, your fields, your workflow — with no per-seat bill and nothing locked behind a higher tier. What you pay for is a Quake Core licence: the AI engine and system of record underneath, backed by support and an SLA so the desk you build is one you can rely on.

The parts of the job nobody got into recruiting for

You're here to place great people. These are the things quietly getting in the way — and what Quake does about each one.

Drowning in admin

Hours vanish into data entry, CV formatting and writing up calls.

Quake does the busywork for you, so you can actually recruit.

Your database goes stale

People move jobs, numbers change, and your records quietly rot.

Every contact stays fresh in the background — automatically.

Notes scattered everywhere

Conversations live in your inbox, a notebook and your memory.

Every call is captured, summarised and filed to the right record.

Too many tools

Sourcing here, outreach there, your ATS somewhere else again.

One calm place for the whole desk — nothing falls through the cracks.

Shortlists take all afternoon

Hunting profiles by keyword is slow and you still miss people.

The best-fit candidates surface in minutes, with a reason for each.

Good candidates go cold

Great people slip away because nobody followed up in time.

Relationships stay warm with timely, personal nudges.
Hybrid recruiting

The best of both: agents and humans

You didn't get into recruiting to format CVs at 9pm. Hand the repetitive work to your agents and keep the parts that actually need a person. Semi-automated, never impersonal.

Let your agents handle

The repetitive, time-sapping work

  • Sourcing and shortlisting candidates
  • Enriching contact details & keeping records fresh
  • Formatting CVs and writing up every call
  • Drafting personalised, on-brand outreach
  • Scheduling interviews and chasing follow-ups
  • Logging activity so nothing is missed

You stay in charge of

The human craft of recruiting

  • Building genuine relationships
  • Reading between the lines on a call
  • Selling the opportunity and the story
  • Advising clients and candidates
  • Making the judgement calls
  • Closing the placement

You decide how much to automate. Let agents run on autopilot, or keep a human in the loop to review every step — it's your desk, your call.

One calm place for the whole desk

Everything you need to run a desk, together at last

The all-in-one platforms proved how much you get when sourcing, your ATS, CRM and outreach finally talk to each other. Quake brings that same joined-up experience — and gives it away.

Living talent graph

A self-updating database that keeps every candidate, contact and company current — job changes, titles and verified contact details refreshed in the background.

  • Skills ontology with proficiency scales & graph links
  • Continuous auto-enrichment of email & phone
  • Automatic dedupe and identity resolution

AI sourcing & matching

Describe the role in plain English or paste a JD. Quake ranks your whole network and the open web by true fit — not keywords — and explains every match.

  • Natural-language & semantic search
  • Per-job fit scoring with reasons
  • Chrome extension capture from LinkedIn & the web

  • AI-written cadences in your tone
  • Warm-up, throttling & unsubscribe handling
  • Funnel analytics and team leaderboards

ATS + CRM in one

Jobs, submissions, applications, placements, clients and BD pipelines share one record. No toggling, no re-keying, no lost context.

  • Configurable pipelines with stage automations
  • Job-lead signals feed business development
  • Client portal for review and feedback

Meeting intelligence

An AI notetaker joins your calls — and records in person — then transcribes, summarises and writes structured data straight back to the record.

  • Joins Zoom, Meet & Teams automatically
  • In-person interview recording on mobile
  • Ask questions across any past conversation

Headless & MCP-first

Built on an open API with a native MCP server, so Claude and your own tools can drive Quake directly. Your data, your automations, your surface.

  • Native MCP server for Claude & ChatGPT
  • Full OAuth2 REST API and webhooks
  • Apps & Actions framework for integrations
ClaudeCustomisable with Claude CodeExplore

The multichannel outreach SourceWhale made popular, the conversation memory the executive-search tools pioneered, and the AI matching the newest platforms lead with — all in one familiar place, with nothing locked away.

Better shortlists, faster

Find the right person in minutes, not afternoons

The leading talent-intelligence tools, like Loxo, showed how much time good AI matching gives back. Quake brings that to your desk — and always tells you why someone fits.

Fit, not keywords

Quake reads beyond the buzzwords to understand real experience, so you find the right people — not just the ones who happened to use the right words.

A reason every time

Each match comes with a short, plain-English explanation. Share it with a client and back up your shortlist without writing a thing.

Never out of date

Your shortlist stays current on its own — new roles, fresh numbers and recent moves are folded in quietly in the background.

Getting started

Up and running in an afternoon

No lengthy onboarding, no big migration project. Connect your tools and Quake starts pulling its weight straight away.

Step 1

Connect & ingest

Import your CRM, sync inboxes and calendars, and let the Chrome extension capture talent from anywhere on the web.

Step 2

Let AI do the admin

Quake enriches records, scores fit, drafts outreach and writes up every call — so recruiters stop typing and start placing.

Step 3

Run the whole desk

Source, submit, schedule, place and bill from one system of record — with analytics that show exactly what's working.

Works with your world

Plays nicely with the tools you already use

Your inbox, calendar, job boards and favourite data sources — all connected, so nothing has to change overnight.

Recruiters who switched

Less time at the keyboard, more time on the phone

We replaced our ATS plus six add-ons with Quake. The living database alone gave us back a day a week per consultant.

The AI notetaker and fit scoring are uncanny. Shortlists that took an afternoon now take ten minutes — with reasons we can show clients.

Being able to point Claude straight at our data through the MCP server changed how the whole desk works. Nothing else does this.
