"We've recently implemented Giig Hire and have been really impressed. As a small recruitment business, we wanted a CRM that was easy to use without being overcomplicated and Giig Hire has been exactly that. The system is straightforward and easy to navigate. The customer service has also been excellent – really helpful and always willing to assist. Highly recommended for recruitment businesses looking for a practical and user friendly CRM."
Sam L
Director
"I get to speak to a real human! I cannot rate Giig highly enough, response time within minutes, support is always on hand whether it's a team's call refresh of the features or a quick phone call they are always on hand. The thing I love the most is they listen to ideas and feedback of features to add in and they actually put this into practice! The flexibility options of their packages are also a standout choice to use them especially when you have changes within your team and you can't afford to be tied in for 12month contracts with ridiculous clauses like some of the big providers I've experienced. Well done guys you're doing awesome!"
Becky K.
Director
"Andy & Luke are great, incredibly responsive, and have created something genuinely impactful and worthwhile for any recruitment company who are looking for an advanced CRM system. I've tried a lot and they all carry common downfalls, however Giig has been unique in its mix of simplicity in navigation in correlation to the advanced tools included. Had the free version for a week before realising it was what I wanted full time moving forward and now using it as my go-to."

"Absolutely amazing platform, very user friendly and the value for money is insane!!! Literally a one stop shop for all your needs. Highly recommend!!!!"
Danny F.
Managing Director
"Giig Hire has genuinely transformed the way I work. After more than 10 years using a wide range of CRM and ATS platforms, this is by far the most functional, intuitive, and user friendly system I've ever come across. It's incredibly easy to use, cost effective, and packed with features that actually make a difference in day to day recruitment delivery. Since switching to Giig Hire, I've been able to service both candidates and clients with far greater speed, clarity, and consistency. The workflow is seamless, the automation is smart, and the whole platform feels like it's been built by people who truly understand the recruitment process."

"I can't recommend Giig Hire highly enough. Andy and Luke are both incredibly helpful and are always just a call or email away whenever I need guidance or have a question. The platform itself is really similar and easy to use. It's clearly been built by recruiters, for recruiters. I also love that there's a free version available, which gives you the chance to properly find your feet and understand how it works before committing. Upgrading to the paid version has been a great decision for me as it really unlocks the full benefits of Giig. If you're considering it, I'd absolutely recommend giving it a go."

"I'd highly recommend Giig Hire to any new recruitment business owner, the platform has provided me with exactly what I need. It's very user friendly and very good value for money, especially given the extortionate prices other CRM's are charging. Having the free version was perfect for when I was just starting up. Luke and Andy are brilliant and respond almost instantly if you have any queries. I have already recommended to a number of other recruiters and will continue to do so!"

Here's some bits you might want to know!
Tags are quick labels you stick on a record to categorise it, think "Hot Candidate" or "Immediately Available." Custom Fields hold structured data like a number or specific text, think "Notice Period" or "Day Rate." Most desks end up using both: tags for fast filtering and custom fields for the detail behind them.
No. Custom Fields live in your own Customisation Settings, so you can add, edit, or remove them yourself whenever your process changes. No tickets, no waiting on a developer.
No. Once you're on Giig Plus, there's no cap. Build as many custom fields as your desk needs across Candidates, Contacts, Companies, and Jobs, we're not going to make you choose between tracking day rate and tracking notice period.
Yes. Every custom field you create is fully searchable, exactly like any standard field. Filter by visa status, tech stack, notice period, or any combination, and turn what you've captured today into an instant shortlist.
Custom Fields is a Giig Plus feature. Free Forever and Giig Starter give you the core Giig platform; upgrading to Giig Plus unlocks unlimited custom fields, along with the rest of the Plus toolkit.
