Mercury xRM & RecruiterWEB
RecruiterWEB first integrated with Mercury xRM in 2021
Mercury xRM is a recruitment CRM and ATS built natively on Microsoft Dynamics 365. If your agency runs on Mercury, your RecruiterWEB website connects directly to it. Jobs flow from Mercury to your website. Candidate applications flow from your website back into Mercury. Registrations, CV uploads, and enquiries sync automatically. No double entry. No manual exports. No data sitting in your website that your consultants cannot access in Mercury.
If your recruiters live in Mercury every day, your website should be feeding it without anyone having to think about it. That is what this integration does.

What Is Mercury xRM?
Mercury xRM is a cloud-based recruitment platform built on Microsoft Dynamics 365, Microsoft's Power Platform, and Office 365. Unlike generic CRMs adapted for recruitment, Mercury was purpose-built for staffing and recruitment agencies, using Microsoft's enterprise infrastructure as its foundation. This gives agencies a recruitment-specific system with the scalability, security, and integration ecosystem of Microsoft underneath.
Key Mercury xRM capabilities include:
- Combined CRM and ATS: A single platform covering candidate management, client relationships, vacancy handling, and placements, with every record connected in one system rather than separate tools bolted together
- Vacancy and applicant management: End-to-end workflow from job order creation through to placement, with candidate sourcing, screening, shortlisting, interview scheduling, and offer management
- Custom recruitment workflows: Configurable workflows by brand, region, discipline, or desk type, allowing different teams to work differently within the same platform
- AI-assisted features: AI-powered vacancy creation, note-taking, candidate screening, and matching, leveraging Microsoft's AI capabilities within the recruitment context
- Microsoft Teams integration: Conversations, calls, and collaboration directly inside Mercury, keeping recruitment activity visible without switching between applications
- Middle and back office: Timesheet management, contractor payroll, billing, compliance, and financial reporting integrated into the same platform as front-office recruitment
- Analytics and reporting: Configurable dashboards and reports built on Microsoft Power BI, covering consultant performance, pipeline health, revenue, margins, and operational KPIs
- LinkedIn integration: Native integration with LinkedIn Recruiter and Sales Navigator, including profile viewing within Mercury, one-click candidate creation, InMail tracking, and Recruiter System Connect
- Microsoft ecosystem: Full compatibility with Outlook, Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive, Power Automate, and the broader Microsoft 365 suite that most agencies already use
- Multi-entity and multi-brand: Support for agencies operating multiple brands, offices, regions, or legal entities within a single Mercury instance
- Power Platform extensibility: Built on Microsoft's Power Platform, allowing agencies to extend Mercury with Power Automate flows, Power Apps, and custom integrations without traditional development
Mercury xRM is used by global enterprise staffing firms and high-growth recruitment agencies, from specialist boutiques scaling rapidly to multi-national operations placing thousands of candidates across multiple markets.
How RecruiterWEB Integrates with Mercury xRM
RecruiterWEB connects to your Mercury xRM instance to create a two-way data flow between your website and your recruitment platform. Here is what that means in practice.

Live Job Feed
Vacancies created in Mercury xRM are pulled onto your RecruiterWEB website automatically. When a consultant creates a new role, updates a salary, changes a location, or fills a vacancy, the change is reflected on your website without anyone touching the CMS. Your candidates always see current, accurate vacancies that match what your consultants are actively recruiting.

Application Flow
When a candidate applies for a job through your RecruiterWEB website, their application, CV, and form data are pushed directly into Mercury xRM. The candidate record is created or matched to an existing record, the application is linked to the correct vacancy, and the relevant consultant can see it immediately in their Mercury pipeline. No email forwarding. No manual imports. No re-keying.

Candidate Registration
Speculative candidates who register on your website without applying for a specific role are pushed into Mercury xRM automatically. Their contact details, sector preferences, skills, availability, and uploaded CV land in your database. Your consultants can search and match these candidates against current and future vacancies without any manual data handling. Every registration your website generates grows your Mercury talent pool.

Real-Time Job Updates
Mercury xRM is the master system. Your website follows. When a consultant edits a vacancy in Mercury, whether that is a title change, salary adjustment, location update, or status change, your RecruiterWEB site reflects it automatically. There is no delay, no second system to update, and no risk of candidates seeing outdated information or applying for filled roles.

Search and Apply
RecruiterWEB builds search-and-apply functionality into your website, powered by your Mercury xRM job data. Candidates filter by keyword, location, sector, salary, contract type, and any other facets your data supports. They find relevant roles and apply in a few clicks. The entire journey from search to submission happens on your branded website and the data arrives in Mercury.

Google for Jobs
Every job pulled from Mercury xRM onto your RecruiterWEB site is automatically formatted with the structured data Google for Jobs requires. Your vacancies appear in Google's job search results without additional work. More candidates find your roles through Google, and every application they submit flows into Mercury. One RecruiterWEB client saw 90,000 Google for Jobs visits in their first month after switching.

Temporary and Contract Job Handling
Mercury xRM covers both front-office recruitment and middle/back-office operations including timesheets, contractor payroll, and billing. RecruiterWEB handles temp and contract vacancies alongside permanent roles on your website, displaying shift patterns, contract durations, day rates, hourly rates, and start dates where relevant. Candidates can filter specifically for temporary or contract work, and applications for these roles feed into Mercury with the data your team needs to progress them through to timesheet and payroll.

Compliance Data Capture
Mercury xRM includes compliance management for document collection, verification, and tracking. Your RecruiterWEB site can capture initial compliance information at the point of registration or application, feeding it into Mercury so your compliance team has foundational data from the start. Right-to-work declarations, qualification details, and availability information captured on your website flow into Mercury's compliance tracking.

Multi-Brand Support
If your agency operates multiple trading brands, regions, or divisions within a single Mercury xRM instance, RecruiterWEB can present the right jobs to the right audience. Different website sections or separate branded sites can pull from different subsets of your Mercury data. Candidates see only the brand relevant to them. Your consultants work from a single platform with full visibility across all brands.

Sector and Location Landing Pages
RecruiterWEB builds sector-specific and location-specific pages that pull relevant jobs from Mercury xRM automatically. A candidate searching for "finance jobs in London" or "tech recruitment Manchester" lands on a page showing exactly those roles, filtered from your Mercury data, with supporting content that helps the page rank for that search term. When they apply, their data enters Mercury with the relevant context.

No Candidate Portal Required
Mercury xRM handles your candidate data, compliance records, placement history, and back-office operations. Your website handles your online presence and candidate experience. RecruiterWEB does not build candidate login portals because they create GDPR compliance risks and add friction that reduces applications. Candidates apply and register through clean, simple forms that feed data straight into Mercury where your team manages it.

Design Studio Compatibility
Every RecruiterWEB plan includes Design Studio as standard. You can build landing pages, campaign pages, and content pages yourself without waiting for a developer. Every page you create works alongside your Mercury xRM job feed, and every application or enquiry generated from those pages flows into Mercury automatically. Launch a new page in Design Studio and it is already connected to your recruitment platform.

SEO That Feeds Your Pipeline
A recruitment website that ranks on Google generates candidates and clients without paid advertising. RecruiterWEB builds sites with clean architecture, fast load times, structured data, and content strategies designed to drive organic traffic. The better your site ranks, the more applications and registrations flow into Mercury xRM. Your website becomes a permanent, compounding source of candidates and client enquiries that grows your Microsoft-powered database every day.

AI Visibility
AI search engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews are increasingly used by candidates and hiring managers to find recruitment agencies. RecruiterWEB builds sites that are AI-readable, with structured data and content architecture that makes your brand discoverable in AI-generated answers. SEO ranks your page. AI cites your page. Both send candidates and clients into your Mercury pipeline.

Upgrade Without Starting Over
RecruiterWEB operates on an upgrade path model. If you start on a Start-up or Themed plan and later move to a semi-bespoke or fully bespoke design, your Mercury xRM integration carries forward. Nothing is thrown away. Your job feed, your application flow, your candidate registrations, and all the SEO equity your site has built continue working exactly as they did before, in a new design.

Microsoft Power Automate Compatibility
Because Mercury xRM is built on Microsoft Dynamics 365 and the Power Platform, every Power Automate flow you have configured works with records created by your RecruiterWEB website. A new candidate application from your website can trigger a confirmation email in Outlook, a Teams notification, a task assignment, a compliance workflow, a candidate scoring evaluation, or any other automated action you have built. Your website feeds Mercury, and Microsoft's automation engine does the rest.

Microsoft Ecosystem, Not Microsoft Dependency
Your consultants probably already use Outlook, Teams, and the Microsoft 365 suite. Mercury xRM sits inside that ecosystem. Your RecruiterWEB website sits outside it, connecting via integration rather than requiring your candidates or clients to interact with Microsoft tools. Your team gets the benefit of everything being in Microsoft. Your candidates get the benefit of a fast, clean, purpose-built recruitment website.
