An ATS tracks applicants. A recruiting CRM manages relationships across a broader prospect database. A talent pipeline workspace organizes the candidates connected to specific requisitions and sourcing efforts. AEC firms often need all three functions, even when one system does not provide all three.
Applicant tracking systems are built around people who have entered a formal hiring workflow: applications, stages, interviews, offers, records and reporting.
A CRM helps a talent team maintain relationships before someone applies, segment prospects and keep long-term nurture activity visible.
For AEC hiring teams, pipelineIQ provides a requisition-level workspace between sourcing channels and the ATS, so candidate history remains visible to the team over time.
See how pipelineIQ worksA sourcing workspace connects candidate research directly to the role being worked. It gives recruiters and hiring managers one shared place to see who was sourced, reviewed, contacted and worth revisiting.
AEC searches are often highly specialized and recurring. Losing the research from one transportation, water or structural search means the next recruiter has to reconstruct a market the company already studied.
pipelineIQ gives recruiters and hiring managers one shared place to organize sourced candidates, preserve candidate history and keep strong prospects visible when timing changes.
