Zorky CRM vs Huntflow
In short: Huntflow is the mature, proven standard for recruiting in CIS (1500+ agencies, in the market since 2016). Zorky CRM is a young alternative with two strengths: it collects jobs and candidates on its own from 1000+ sources and transparently explains every match score. Below is an honest 10-point comparison.
| Feature | Zorky CRM | Huntflow |
|---|---|---|
| Where jobs and candidates come from | ✓1000+ sources — Telegram channels and job sites across CIS and Europe, collected automatically | Jobs are added manually or pulled from HH and job sites. Telegram channels are not collected |
| Candidate matching and score explanation | ✓Match score from 0 to 100 across five signals — skills, role, level, job intent, location. The breakdown is visible alongside the score | Smart candidate ranking exists, but it does not show why the score is what it is |
| Per-candidate history | ✓Custom tags, call and email history, candidate reservation by recruiter, verification mark, freshness hints | Candidate database with statuses; no unified structured contact history |
| Public job board | ✓The zorky.tech/jobs page is indexed by Google for Jobs | Each agency gets a careers page, but there is no unified shared job board |
| Transparent pricing | ✓$49 / $199 / $499 — price published on the site, no sales call required | From ~$50 per user/month, exact pricing on request |
| Mobile experience | ✓All public pages open and read comfortably on mobile | Mobile version exists, but the public surface is limited |
| Data protection and GDPR | Policy and terms in Russian and English, data deletion on request, explicit consent on each upload | ✓GDPR-compliant, ISO certification — a plus for enterprise customers |
| Maturity and customer base size | Young project (launched in 2026) | ✓1500+ agencies, in the market since 2016, public company |
| Integrations (HR systems, messengers, calendars) | Planned for the coming months | ✓Ready: HH, Telegram bots, Slack, Google Calendar, email |
| Reports and analytics | Basic in-app analytics: funnel, candidate scores | ✓Extensive customisable reports |
When to choose Zorky CRM
- Small or mid-sized IT agency (2–20 recruiters), budget up to $500/month
- Candidates mostly come from Telegram channels across CIS and Europe — that is our main source
- Explainable AI matters: the recruiter shows the client "here is why this candidate scored 84" instead of "the system said so"
- A shared candidate database that accumulates history — tags, contacts, reservations
- Willing to grow with a young product: low price and fast customisation to your needs
When Huntflow is the better fit
- Large agency (50+ recruiters) — you need maturity, certifications and contractual guarantees
- You need out-of-the-box integrations — Slack, Google Calendar, exports to HR systems
- You need deep customisable reports for leadership
- Reliability of a battle-tested product matters more than a young project
Key differences in detail
1. We find candidates ourselves — that is the key difference
Huntflow is a candidate tracking system: the recruiter enters people manually or connects HH and job sites. Zorky CRM works differently — the system collects candidates and jobs around the clock from 1000+ sources, including Telegram channels. New cards appear without manual work. Such a source network cannot be replicated quickly.
2. Transparent candidate scoring
For every candidate–job pair the system shows not just a single number but the breakdown behind it: how skills, role, level, job intent and location matched. The recruiter sees why the score is what it is — they can verify it, explain it to the client and push back when the system is wrong. This is not a "black box" that just spits out a number.
3. The longer you use it, the more valuable the database becomes
Every candidate in Zorky CRM accumulates history: recruiter tags, call and email records with outcomes, verification marks, reservations. Over six months an agency builds up history for thousands of candidates. This relationship history cannot be exported quickly to another system via a plain dump. The longer an agency works with us, the more valuable its database becomes.
