Most agencies run a superb candidate database and a neglected client one. Contacts change jobs, fee agreements sit in email, job orders are logged late and the pipeline report is built from memory on Monday morning. Your AssistBPO assistant works your hours inside the CRM, logs every client call and meeting from the account manager's notes, updates contact roles when a hiring manager moves, attaches signed agreements to the account, enters job orders the day they arrive and runs your re-engagement sequences with lawful consent. Dashboards for open orders, aging orders and dormant accounts are built once and kept true. A trained backup covers leave and the team lead reviews data quality weekly. Plain definition ## What does a CRM virtual assistant do? A CRM virtual assistant maintains a sales team's customer relationship management system: logging activity, updating deal stages and close dates, merging duplicates, filling required fields, cleaning lists, building sequences and workflows and producing pipeline reports. The assistant does the data work reps skip, so forecasts, dashboards and automations run on records that are actually current. ## What tasks does CRM management cover for recruiting and staffing agencies? - Log client calls, meetings and emails against the account and contact - Enter job orders the day they arrive with fee, terms and owner fields - Update contact roles and companies when hiring managers move - Attach signed fee agreements and terms to the account record - Run re-engagement email sequences to dormant clients with lawful consent - Merge duplicate accounts and standardize industry and size fields - Maintain dashboards for open, aging and filled job orders - Prepare the Monday pipeline report per account manager ## The KPI that matters here Share of client accounts with a logged activity in the last 30 days, next to job-order data completeness. Dormant accounts with a clean record are the cheapest reactivations you have. ## What rules does CRM management follow for recruiting? 1. **TCPA and CAN-SPAM for candidate outreach.** Every outbound call, text and email to a candidate goes out with lawful consent and do-not-call scrubbing, inside the FCC's TCPA calling hours, with sender identification and an opt-out on each message under the FTC's CAN-SPAM Act. 2. **EEOC screening rules and record keeping.** Phone screens use your approved question set only. Assistants never ask about age, family status, health, religion or any other protected characteristic, and screening notes are retained under the EEOC's record-keeping rule at 29 CFR 1602. 3. **Candidate data under UK GDPR, PIPEDA and the Privacy Act.** For UK, Canadian and Australian agencies, candidate records are handled under UK GDPR (ICO), PIPEDA (Office of the Privacy Commissioner) and the Privacy Act 1988 (OAIC), with retention periods you set and deletion requests actioned inside your policy. 4. **Licensed agency decisions stay with you.** Assistants prepare the paperwork and the agency signs. We never make placement decisions, negotiate fees or act where a state or country requires a licensed employment agent. ## Recruiting software we work in - [Calendly](https://assistbpo.com/software/calendly/) - [RingCentral](https://assistbpo.com/software/ringcentral/) - [HubSpot](https://assistbpo.com/software/hubspot/) - [Google Workspace](https://assistbpo.com/software/google-workspace/) Also in use - Bullhorn - JobAdder - Greenhouse - LinkedIn Recruiter [See all 80 tools we work in](https://assistbpo.com/software/) ## More for recruiting and staffing agencies Other services for recruiting - [Social media assistant](https://assistbpo.com/industries/recruiting-agencies/social-media-virtual-assistant/) - [After-hours answering](https://assistbpo.com/industries/recruiting-agencies/after-hours-answering/) - [Client intake](https://assistbpo.com/industries/recruiting-agencies/client-intake/) - [Virtual assistant](https://assistbpo.com/industries/recruiting-agencies/virtual-assistant/) - [Virtual receptionist](https://assistbpo.com/industries/recruiting-agencies/virtual-receptionist/) - [Appointment scheduling](https://assistbpo.com/industries/recruiting-agencies/appointment-scheduling/) - [The recruiting pod](https://assistbpo.com/industries/recruiting-agencies/) CRM management in other industries - [Coaches, consultants & creators](https://assistbpo.com/industries/coaches-consultants/crm-management/) - [Nonprofits & churches](https://assistbpo.com/industries/nonprofits/crm-management/) - [Education & tutoring](https://assistbpo.com/industries/education/crm-management/) - [SaaS & startups](https://assistbpo.com/industries/saas-startups/crm-management/) - [The full CRM management page](https://assistbpo.com/services/crm-management/) ## Frequently asked questions ### Should we run client CRM in Bullhorn or a separate tool like HubSpot? Either works, and the assistant will run whichever you have. Bullhorn CRM keeps clients and candidates in one system, which suits agencies that want job orders and submittals linked. HubSpot or Salesforce suits agencies with a dedicated business development team that wants sequences, deal stages and marketing email in one place. The important part is a single source of truth kept current daily, which is what the assistant is for. ### How does the assistant capture activity that happens in account managers' heads? Through a 5-minute end-of-day habit we set up in onboarding: account managers voice-note or message a short summary of client calls, and the assistant turns it into logged activities, next steps and tasks in the CRM by the next morning. Meetings on the calendar are logged automatically with the notes the assistant collects. After a few weeks the pipeline report reflects reality without anyone filling forms. ### Can the assistant run client re-engagement campaigns? Yes, inside your CRM's email tool with lawful consent and do-not-call scrubbing, and under CAN-SPAM, PECR, CASL or the Spam Act depending on the market. The assistant segments dormant accounts, sends your approved sequence, monitors replies and hands warm responses to the account manager with the full history. Unsubscribes are honored immediately and logged. The weekly report shows sends, replies and meetings booked from the campaign. Next step ## Your desk, staffed. Wherever you are.
