HOW RECRUITERS USE IT

Every BD touchpoint, in one CRM

1

Manage hiring accounts and build a real BD pipeline

Stop running client prospects out of a spreadsheet. Put every hiring company into a pipeline with custom stages, fee structure, decision makers and contract values, side by side with your retention pipeline.

2

Warm up hiring decision makers with a LinkedIn engagement feed

Breakcold builds a curated feed of HR leads', hiring managers' and founders' LinkedIn posts inside the CRM. Like, comment and engage before you pitch a search, so the outreach lands warm, not cold.

3

Run Breakcold from 7 plus platforms

Hiring clients reply where they live: LinkedIn, email, WhatsApp, Telegram and calls. Every channel is native, every conversation lands on the right account record, no extension to install.

4

Unified inbox for sourcing tools and BD outreach

HeyReach, Instantly and the rest send positive replies into Breakcold for client BD. One unified inbox, qualified by AI, routed to the right account in your pipeline.

ONE PLAN, NO TRAP

One plan. Full BD stack. $59 per month.

The Only Plan
$59/mo

First seat included. One plan, full power.

  • 1 seat & 2 accounts included
  • Meeting Recorder + email & phone enrichment
  • Claude & ChatGPT integrations built in
  • Multichannel CRM inbox (5 channels)
  • Auto-sync Gmail, Outlook, LinkedIn, Telegram, WhatsApp
  • Roles & permissions for teams
  • Unlimited contacts, pipelines, custom objects & fields
+$10/mo per seat

An extra seat costs $10, not another $59. Add the whole team without the per-seat treadmill.

+$10/mo per account

Add a LinkedIn, Telegram or WhatsApp account for $10, not the $39 to $59 per channel every other CRM charges.

$0enrichment

Unlimited people & company enrichment, free. It never costs tokens, where others charge ~$100/mo for it.

A team of 5 = $59 + 4 × $10 = $99/mo. Run the math against the CRM you use today.

Why recruiters switch to Breakcold for their client BD

Recruiters get sold a thousand tools for the candidate side. ATS, sourcing extensions, parsing engines, dozens of LinkedIn add ons. The other half of the business, winning and keeping hiring clients, mostly runs out of a spreadsheet or a generic CRM that has no idea what recruitment looks like. That is the gap Breakcold fills.

Breakcold is the CRM for the BD side of recruitment. It is where you manage every hiring company you are prospecting, every active client, every retainer and every repeat account. The pipeline moves from cold prospect to qualified hiring need to role won to retainer to repeat business. Custom fields for vertical, fee structure, contract value and decision maker. Multiple pipelines per team, set up in minutes, no ops person required.

The first reason recruiters switch is the unified LinkedIn inbox. BD in recruitment lives on LinkedIn. Every DM with an HR lead, InMail with a founder, connection request from a hiring manager and Sales Navigator thread lands on the right account record on its own. Reply from Breakcold, the prospect sees the message in LinkedIn, the thread stays on the account. No Chrome extension to click, no copy paste, no LinkedIn tab to remember.

The second reason is multichannel. Hiring decision makers reply where they live. CMOs answer on LinkedIn, CTOs reply in WhatsApp, founders send the brief on Telegram, HR leads schedule a call on email. Breakcold is the only sales CRM that natively integrates email, calls, meetings, LinkedIn, Telegram and WhatsApp in one unified inbox. Every BD conversation lands on the right account, no double entry, no second tab.

The third reason is AI agents through MCP. Breakcold ships a first party MCP server with 50 plus tools across 17 AI clients like Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and Cowork. Recruiters use it to run the boring half of BD: pipeline reports per hiring account, auto tasks from a LinkedIn thread with an HR lead, record updates by chatting and weekly recaps. The MCP exposes the LinkedIn, email and meeting side too, so the agent sees what was actually said with HR leads, hiring managers and founders. The team stops doing CRM admin and focuses on the qualified accounts.

The fourth reason is the workspace system. Search firms running multiple retained clients spin up a clean workspace per account, with its own deals, roles and briefs. Roles and permissions keep sensitive client information private to the right team member. Switch between accounts like browser tabs.

Pricing is the last gap. Most recruitment specific CRMs cost $99 to $200 per seat per month, with LinkedIn integration on the top tier. Breakcold is $59 per month for the base plan, one seat and one LinkedIn account included, unlimited enrichment included. Extra seats are $10 per month, extra accounts are $10 per month. A 5 person search firm is $99 per month flat.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is Breakcold an ATS or a CRM for recruiters?

It is a CRM, not an ATS. Breakcold is built for the BD side of recruitment, managing hiring clients, prospecting new accounts on LinkedIn, qualifying inbound BD replies and tracking retainers. Use Breakcold for the client side, pair it with your ATS for candidate parsing and back office if you need one. Most agency recruiters run their entire client BD motion in Breakcold and keep the ATS for paperwork.

How do I prospect new hiring clients on LinkedIn with Breakcold?

Every LinkedIn DM, InMail, connection request and Sales Navigator thread with an HR lead, hiring manager or founder lands on the right company account record on its own. The engagement feed shows their posts inside the CRM so you can warm them up before the pitch. AI agents through our MCP can draft outreach in your voice, qualify replies and move the account through your pipeline.

Can I run different pipelines per client or per recruitment vertical?

Yes. Breakcold ships a first party MCP server with 50 plus tools across 17 AI clients. Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and Cowork can pull BD pipeline reports per hiring account, auto create tasks from a LinkedIn thread with an HR lead, update records by chatting and write weekly recaps. The LinkedIn inbox is part of the MCP surface, so the agent sees what was actually said with HR leads, hiring managers and founders, not just basic CRM fields. The team stops doing CRM admin and focuses on the qualified accounts.

How much does Breakcold cost for a recruitment team?

One plan at $59 per month. Base plan includes one seat and one LinkedIn account. Extra seats are $10 per month, extra LinkedIn accounts are $10 per month, enrichment is unlimited and free. A 5 person search firm on Breakcold is $59 + 4 x $10 = $99 per month flat, every channel in, no per account or per pipeline fee.
