Why firms look for a BoondManager alternative

A remark we hear from small firms: an ERP built for IT services firms feels "oversized and costly" when you have fewer than about fifty consultants, or none at all.
You do placement or headhunting: no timesheets, no assignment invoicing, no consultants to staff.
The price is counted per manager, and you want a bill that does not move when you add a recruiter.
You hire in Quebec and across Canada, and you want a tool billed in Canadian dollars, with a human in the loop before every candidate reply.

These are common reasons for a small team, not a verdict on the tool. If none of them apply to you, stay where you are.

What to look for before you switch

Pay for what you use

List the modules your firm actually uses. If it is only recruiting, a focused ATS costs less than a full ERP.

A score you can explain

Ask why a candidate is recommended. If the tool cannot answer in plain language, you cannot justify it to a client.

Your talent pool put to work

The right tool resurfaces candidates already on file for every new mandate, without rebuilding a Boolean search.

What you give up by switching

If you manage consultants on assignment, timesheets or invoicing, an ATS will not replace them. Stay on an ERP.

The detailed comparison

Category by category, what each tool does. Where the other one is better, we say so.

Pricing model

RecruitEasy

One flat price per firm: Solo $29 USD (1 user), Team $69 USD (5 users), Business $149 USD (15 users), Enterprise on quote. In Canadian dollars: $39, $95 and $199. Adding a recruiter does not change the bill as long as you stay within the plan. AI features use monthly credits included in each plan (50, 200 or 800).

BoondManager

BoondManager lists its prices in euros before tax, per manager per month: Core €59, Advanced €79, Enterprise €99, each with €4 per consultant per month. The Business plan, which bundles CRM, ATS and staffing with AI matching, costs €89 per manager per month. The page states no minimum number of users or commitment, and shows no Canadian dollar pricing: ask them for a quote.

Example: a firm with 3 recruiters

RecruitEasy: $95 CAD per month on the Team plan for all 3 recruiters, and the same price up to 5 users.
BoondManager: 3 × €89 = €267 / month before tax on the Business plan (CRM + ATS). On the Core ERP: 3 × €59 = €177 / month before tax, plus €4 per consultant on assignment. Amounts in euros, before tax and currency conversion.

If you manage consultants on assignment, BoondManager does work RecruitEasy does not. If you only recruit and place, RecruitEasy costs $69 USD ($95 CAD) per month for up to 5 users, explained matching included.

Monthly prices before tax, without add-ons. Currencies differ based on what each vendor shows publicly.

AI matching

RecruitEasy

For every new job, RecruitEasy rereads your database and resurfaces the candidates who already match. Every score (a whole number from 0 to 100) comes with a plain-language explanation: skills and experience. You see why a profile comes up, and you decide who to call.

BoondManager

BoondManager offers saved searches with advanced filters and Boolean search, and "premium" AI matching in the Business plan. Their site does not detail how each match is explained: ask about it in a demo.

Candidate communication

RecruitEasy

For every candidate you do not move forward with, RecruitEasy drafts a specific, respectful reply. You read it, edit it if needed and approve it before it goes out. Nothing is sent without you. You also get email templates, interview scheduling and team chat.

BoondManager

Emails sent from Boond, exchanges kept on the candidate's file, discussion threads between recruiting and sales, Kanban pipeline. For how rejected candidates are informed, check their documentation.

Bilingual support and Quebec compliance

RecruitEasy

French and English interface and content from day one. A human in the loop before anything is sent to a candidate (Quebec Law 25, s. 12.1), an audit trail of AI-assisted decisions, and an AI-use disclosure added automatically to public job posts (Ontario ESA requirement, 2026).

BoondManager

BoondManager is a French vendor with servers in Europe. Their site does not mention Canada or Quebec. If you hire here, check with them how their AI features handle Quebec's Law 25 and Ontario's AI disclosure requirement.

Integrations

RecruitEasy

Chrome extension to import profiles, sign-in with a Google, Microsoft or LinkedIn account. No integration marketplace, job board multiposting or Outlook/Google calendar sync yet. We would rather say so than promise it.

BoondManager

API with a developer space (from Advanced and Business), a plugin to create candidates from professional networks, e-signature, e-invoicing and a mobile app. A much wider scope than RecruitEasy's.

Product maturity

RecruitEasy

A young product built in Quebec by a small team. Fewer features and integrations than an established tool, but direct access to the founder and a product focused on three things: your dormant database, the explained score and a reply for every candidate.

BoondManager

BoondManager, now Boond, is an established ERP that claims over 2,000 customers among IT services and consulting firms. It is a full business management tool, in which recruiting is one module.

Who should switch, and who should not

Switch if you are

Small recruiting firms and independent recruiters (1 to 15 people) who want a flat price, not a bill per recruiter.
Firms with thousands of candidates on file that start from scratch on every mandate.
Teams that need to justify a shortlist to a client with a score that explains itself.
Firms in Quebec and across Canada that work in French and English and want a human in the loop before every reply.

Stay with BoondManager if you are

IT services and consulting firms that staff consultants on assignments and track their timesheets.
Firms that want client CRM, invoicing, expenses and recruiting in a single tool.
Teams that manage their consultants' HR file after hiring: contracts, amendments, time off. RecruitEasy stops at the candidate's signature: no timesheets, payroll, invoicing or consultant management.

Moving from BoondManager to RecruitEasy

If you can export your candidates from BoondManager as CSV or Excel, you import them as is into RecruitEasy. Your clients, assignments and invoices stay in your management tool.

1Export your candidate list as CSV or Excel.
2Import the file into RecruitEasy and map each column to the right field.
3On your next job, imported candidates show up with their explained score.

In RecruitEasy you import a CSV or Excel file (.csv, .xlsx, .xls), map each column to a field (email, name, title, skills, experience, and so on), check a preview, then run the import. Imported candidates are then enriched and indexed in the background so they show up in recommendations. You can also add PDF resumes, which are parsed automatically, and import LinkedIn profiles with the Chrome extension.
