Eightfold Candidate Relationship Management helps employers run scheduled campaigns to engage candidates already in their talent pool. Recruiters can target people by location, experience, functional area, and other criteria, or use AI to select candidates likely to be interested. Communications can go by email or SMS, and automation is intended to reduce campaign effort. Recruiter tools include email authoring, A/B testing, real-time audience filters, scheduled messages, and one-click follow-up. Analytics cover interaction funnels, geography, audience characteristics, and outcomes. Campaigns can be used to nurture alumni, employee referrals, diversity audiences, and other groups. The CRM is part of Eightfold Talent Acquisition, with no additional integration or technology purchase stated for that setup; it can also sync two ways with an existing ATS and manage profile deduplication, cleanup, updates, and enrichment. The product is available through web and API, and pricing is on request. Eightfold says customer data is hosted on AWS with regional data residency and is not used in identifiable form to train its AI models.
