Folk.app: Our Secret Weapon at AheadX

Folk.App

Hey all, today we'll talk about how AI is changing the game in recruitment. At AheadX, we’ve fully embraced the tech wave, and over the next few weeks, I’m excited to share some of the tools we’ve been using to streamline our processes. My goal is to help other founders and recruiters in small companies like ours get the most out of these innovations.

Let’s start with CRMs. You know how overwhelming it can be to choose the right tool—especially when so many of them are pricey and overly complicated. We’ve worked with a bunch of “top-tier” ATS and sourcing tools like Greenhouse, Teamable, Jam, Eightfold, Lever, ICMIS, among many others. Finding the right one for us was crucial.

That’s why we were so pumped to have chosen the Folk.app . This CRM is all about keeping it simple and sleek, without losing out on the features that matter. It’s also easier on the wallet than a lot of the alternatives, making it perfect for new founders or small recruiting teams. Whether you’re tracking fundraising, business development, or hiring, Folk.app has got your back.

Here’s what we love about it:

• Slick Design: Think of it as the perfect blend of Notion’s UI with the functionality of Google Sheets.
• Easy to import & Export: It's easy to import & export contacts for any tool and social media.
• Gmail Integration: It integrates smoothly with Gmail, removing the pain of outreaches.
• Easy LinkedIn Integration: Importing profiles from LinkedIn is literally just one click.
• Amazing Visuals: The visualizations make data interpretation super straightforward.
• Clients Love It: Our clients are thrilled with the results of our live market maps.
• Email Discovery: Finding contacts is a breeze with this tool.

For any new founder, I can’t recommend Folk.app enough. It’s versatile, handles everything from fundraising to recruiting, and it’s been a solid 10 out of 10 for us so far. Use our referral code below:
