The Recruit CRM free trial gives you access to the platform for 30 days so you can try it with your own candidates, clients, and jobs before choosing to upgrade to a paid plan.
This guide explains how to create your account, verify your email, and log in, along with what’s included in the trial, how long it lasts, and how to extend it.
Let’s get you started!
Creating your free trial account
Setting up your account takes just a few minutes.
Go to the Recruit CRM sign-up page.
Fill in your details to create your account.
Check your inbox for an email from Recruit CRM (support@recruitcrm.io) with the subject Recruit CRM: Verify Your Email ID, and click the verification link inside.
If you’d rather verify by phone, you can choose Mobile OTP and enter the code sent to your mobile instead.
💡 Can’t find the verification email? Check your spam or junk folder. You can also use the Resend Verification Email option on the verification screen, or correct your email address there if it was entered incorrectly.
⚠️ Each email address can only be linked to one Recruit CRM account. If your organization already uses Recruit CRM, ask your Account Owner to invite you instead of creating a new trial.
Logging in and taking your first steps
Once your email is verified, log in to Recruit CRM and you’ll land on your Dashboard.
Here's the Recruit CRM Login page.
Your Dashboard has a short list of recommended setup activities to help you get going.
How long is the free trial?
Your free trial lasts 30 days from the day you sign up, which is plenty of time to set up your account, add some real data, and see how Recruit CRM fits into your day.
If you’d like more time, you can extend your trial yourself by another 30 days, up to two times, giving you as long as 90 days to explore.
Your trial ends when you reach either the end of your trial period or one of the usage limits below, whichever comes first. You can only extend your trial if you haven’t already reached a usage limit.
What can I add during the free trial?
During your trial, you can add the following:
Record type | Free Trial limit |
Candidates | 50 |
Jobs | 4 open jobs |
Companies | 50 |
Contacts | 50 |
You can also invite up to 50 users to your account.
On the free trial, usage is counted even if records are deleted. For example, adding 50 candidates and then deleting them still uses up the full candidate limit on the free trial.
Records added through imports count toward the same limits.
However on paid plans, deleting records does free up space to add more records.
What happens when I reach a limit?
Once your trial period ends or a usage limit is reached, you won’t be able to add more records of that type until you move to a paid plan. Everything you’ve already added stays in your account.
If you try to save a record with the Recruit CRM Chrome Extension after your trial has ended or a limit has been reached, the record won’t be saved and you’ll see a message asking you to upgrade.

Ready for more?
If Recruit CRM feels like the right fit, you can move to a Pro, Business, or Enterprise plan whenever you’re ready. Everything you’ve set up during your trial comes with you.
Free trial accounts and your organization’s account
If you accidentally created a free trial while your organization already has a Recruit CRM account:
Deactivate your free trial from Admin Settings > Account Management Settings > Deactivate Account.
Ask your Account Owner to send you a new invitation to join their Recruit CRM account. They can do this by following the steps for inviting a teammate.
Troubleshooting
Problem: I didn’t receive the verification email.
Problem: I didn’t receive the verification email.
Likely cause: Verification emails sometimes land in the spam or junk folder. It’s also possible a small typo slipped into the email address when you signed up.
What to check: Take a look in your spam and junk folders as well as your inbox, and search for an email from support@recruitcrm.io. Then check that the email address shown on the verification screen is the one you meant to use.
Resolution: If the email still isn’t there, click Resend Verification Email to get a fresh one. If the address was wrong, you can correct it on the same screen and request a new email. You can also skip email altogether and verify with Mobile OTP, using a code sent to your phone.
Problem: My free trial ended before 30 days.
Problem: My free trial ended before 30 days.
Likely cause: The trial ends when you reach either the end of the 30 days or one of the usage limits, whichever happens first. If it ended early, you’ve most likely reached a limit, for example 50 candidates or 4 jobs.
What to check: Think back on how many candidates, jobs, companies, and contacts have been added so far. Records that were imported, or added and later deleted, all count toward the total.
Resolution: To keep adding records, you’ll need to move to a paid plan. If you’re not sure which plan suits your team, our Sales team can talk it through with you on a demo call.
Problem: I can’t extend my free trial.
Problem: I can’t extend my free trial.
Likely cause: There are two reasons this can happen. A usage limit may already have been reached, or the trial may already have been extended twice, which is the maximum of 90 days in total.
What to check: Check whether you’ve reached any of the record limits, and how many times the trial has already been extended.
Resolution: Once either of these happens, the trial can’t be extended further. To keep using Recruit CRM, you’ll need to move to a paid plan. Everything you’ve already added stays in your account.
Problem: I deleted records but still can’t add new ones.
Problem: I deleted records but still can’t add new ones.
Likely cause: On the free trial, every record you add counts toward your limit, even if you delete it later. So deleting records doesn’t free up space for new ones.
Resolution: If you’re on the free trial, moving to a paid plan will let you continue adding records. On paid plans, deleting a record does free up space.
Conclusion:
Your free trial is the easiest way to find out whether Recruit CRM fits the way you recruit. Sign up, verify your email, work through the setup activities on your Dashboard, and take your time exploring over the next 30 days, or up to 90 with extensions.
