Exelare review
A broad recruiting platform with strong automation and mobile coverage, but a paid-only starting point.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Exelare is a cloud-based applicant tracking system and recruiting CRM for staffing and recruitment agencies. It covers candidate, client, contact, and job management, customizable pipelines, resume parsing and harvesting, job-board posting, communications, interview scheduling, reporting, and mobile access. Its feature set suits recruiting firms that want one system for candidate lifecycle management, recruiter activity, and agency workflows across desktop and mobile platforms.
Pricing is paid-only. Core Recruiting costs $89 per user per month and includes ATS and recruitment CRM functions, pipeline management, communication tracking, workflow automation, and reporting. Exelare AI Complete costs $109 per user per month and adds candidate rating and match analysis, outreach, questionnaires, assistant features, advanced automation, and enhanced screening tools. AI Agentic Calling is listed at $0.25 per minute for automated outreach, availability checks, screening conversations, and response capture. Standard is listed at $89 per user per month, while Premium is $109 per user per month and adds unlimited customization, API and web services support, VMS integration, custom reports, dashboards, and DocuSign integration.
Integration coverage supports Google Workspace, Microsoft Outlook 365, SendGrid, RingCentral, Twilio, WhatsApp, Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Spark Hire, DocuSign, HubSpot, and Hunter.io. Native iOS and Android apps extend access beyond the browser, while API support and database hosting options give Premium a broader operational fit. The tradeoff is cost: agencies seeking AI, advanced customization, or calling may face multiple paid layers rather than a single flat plan. Exelare fits recruiters who value breadth across recruiting operations and channels; smaller teams focused on low-cost core tracking should consider a simpler alternative.
