Mercury is a web-based Microsoft-powered platform for staffing and recruitment, combining CRM, ATS, automation, AI, and analytics. Sales & Recruiting keeps candidates, clients, vacancies, and placements in one system. Mercury AI can turn conversations and job briefs into structured records, job adverts, candidate summaries, and follow-up actions. Its search assistant accepts natural-language descriptions and expands searches with related job titles, employers, and industry keywords. Automated workflows support follow-ups, activity tracking, candidate nurturing, and compliance steps. Middle & Back Office covers permanent, contract, and fixed-term placements, including onboarding, compliance, timesheets, expenses, invoicing, and payments. A placement cannot go live until its Compliance Score reaches 100%. Role-based dashboards provide live pipeline, productivity, and revenue visibility, with forecasting and performance tracking. Mercury integrates natively with Microsoft Teams and Microsoft 365; its listed integrations also include Outlook, SharePoint, Teams Chat, LinkedIn Recruiter System Connect, and LinkedIn Sales Navigator. Pricing is on request. The company lists data migration, implementation, role-based training, and client success support.
