Client enquiries slip through
Client enquiries from calls, referrals, and LinkedIn slip through before anyone follows up.
Trusted by 192+ HR Tech businesses across India

A staffing business sells to clients and delivers candidates, and both sides need following up. Shortlists and feedback pile up in email and WhatsApp, and a retainer comes due for renewal. When that sits in inboxes and spreadsheets, nobody knows which client is about to walk.
CIPHER CRM for HR tech and staffing keeps client enquiries, mandates, candidate stages, interview notes and retainer renewals in one place. Consultants see what to chase today. Tell us whether you do recruitment, staffing or HR consulting and we will set it up for you.

If a few of these hit home, the problem is not your consultants. Client enquiries, mandates, shortlists and retainer dates are spread across LinkedIn, WhatsApp and spreadsheets, with no one place to run the desk from.
Client enquiries from calls, referrals, and LinkedIn slip through before anyone follows up.
Open mandates live in spreadsheets and no one can see which roles are active, stalled, or closed.
Candidate shortlists and interview feedback are scattered across email, WhatsApp, and individual notebooks.
Retainer renewals and contract expiry dates get missed because there is no centralised reminder system.
Consultants leave and take client relationships, mandate context, and placement history with them.
Founders have no clear view of the client pipeline, pending invoices, or who is holding which mandate.
What changes the day your HR Tech or staffing team moves onto CIPHER CRM.
Client enquiries tracked in personal WhatsApp and notebooks
Every lead captured and assigned in one shared CRM list
Open mandates managed in an Excel sheet no one fully trusts
A mandate board with status, dates, and an owner on every card
Interview feedback collected over email and forgotten
Candidate stages, feedback, and next steps logged against each mandate
Retainer renewals missed because dates lived in someone's diary
Contracts filed with expiry dates, and a reminder weeks before each one
Founders wait until month-end to know where the revenue stands
A pipeline with stage totals and invoices marked Unpaid, Paid or Overdue
CIPHER CRM brings every client enquiry, open mandate, candidate shortlist, interview stage, and retainer renewal into one place - so your team stops juggling spreadsheets, WhatsApp threads, and scattered email chains to manage the business.
Built for Indian staffing agencies, recruitment firms, HR consultancies, payroll companies, and HR tech vendors, it turns scattered leads and referrals into a clear client pipeline, with the total at each stage. When a teammate moves a mandate, everyone sees it change on their own screen.
With INR invoicing that puts GST on each line, a browser app that keeps working on a weak signal, and flat pricing with no per-user fees, CIPHER CRM is built in India for the way HR services firms here actually sell.

Product preview
A sales officer we placed with a pharma distributor in Aminabad quit inside the replacement period, and the client did not want another candidate. I raised a credit note against our placement fee and refunded him from it, and the receipt sits on his account beside the original invoice.
Many factories around Adityapur pay our contract manpower bill in parts. The invoice sits at Partially Paid until it clears, and my team rings the Overdue ones first.
Some CXO searches are so quiet that the client's own HR does not know the role is open. Each researcher sees only their own mandates, so when a promoter asks who knows about his search, I can tell him exactly who.
Our verifiers do address checks in villages outside Cuttack and Puri, where the signal keeps dropping. They fill the checklist from their mobiles and note what the neighbours said, and the office gets it once the network returns. Nobody here waits for their evening call.
The pharma units we look after in Jeedimetla keep asking for a copy of their ESIC registration or our service contract. My account managers find every paper on that client's record, filed by type, and a contract past its end date carries a flag.
An HRMS deal goes from demo to pilot to the CFO. The CIPHER CRM board shows the value at each stage, so we chase stuck pilots first.
Ten ways CIPHER CRM helps Indian staffing, recruitment, and HR consulting teams close more and retain longer.
Client enquiries from your website form land on their own, and your team adds calls, LinkedIn referrals and emails in seconds, so every mandate opportunity sits in one shared list.
Run each open role as a mandate linked to its client, and move it through clear stages - from brief received to candidates shortlisted to offer extended - so nothing stalls and every mandate has a visible owner.
Log each candidate as a task linked to the right mandate, and move it across a board by stage, with the CV attached, interview notes, a checklist for each round and a reminder on the joining date.
Keep every client company, contact, mandate history, billing record, and conversation in one searchable account your whole team can rely on.
Give every mandate update, interview confirmation, and renewal conversation a reminder with an owner and a due date. When it comes due, your consultant gets a notification and calls the client or candidate from the row.
File every retainer agreement, annual contract and payroll service contract in the client's Documents tab with its expiry date. Anything past due is flagged, and a reminder set weeks ahead gets your team talking to the client in time.
Raise placement fee invoices, recruitment retainer bills, and payroll service invoices in INR with GST on each line, then record payments as they come in. Every invoice shows Unpaid, Partially paid or Paid, with a live Overdue flag.
Manage long B2B sales cycles for HRMS, payroll, or background verification products with deal stages, decision-maker contacts, demo dates on the calendar, and proposals the client accepts or declines online.
Give each client company its own sign-in to a branded web portal. They see the mandates you run for them, the documents you choose to share, their invoices and receipts, and a support chat with your team.
Business development leads, senior consultants, and account managers open CIPHER CRM in the browser on any phone to update mandates, log calls, and follow up with clients. On a weak signal it keeps working and updates itself when the signal is back.
Twenty capabilities that cover the full client acquisition to placement and renewal journey.
Website forms feed client enquiries in, and calls and referrals take seconds to add.
Track every open role from brief to offer with a clear, stage-wise mandate board.
Link candidates to mandates and log every interview round, feedback, and outcome.
Store full client history - mandates, placements, billings, and contacts - in one account.
Log every client and candidate call with its outcome, shown as Last contacted.
File retainer contracts with an expiry date and a flag once it is past due.

Every fee received, grouped by month and linked back to its invoice.
A starter checklist lands on each new lead based on where it came from.
Send a proposal by link and the client accepts or declines it online.
Log the lead source on each enquiry, then filter by it to see which channels bring your best mandates.
Attach JDs, offer letters, agreements, and BGV reports to the right mandate or candidate.
Choose what each consultant and team lead can see and change, by job role.

Question: 1
Yes. CIPHER CRM is built for HR Tech businesses in India and is used by 192+ companies across the country. It brings your enquiries, follow-ups, quotations, and payments into one place, with follow-up reminders and a CRM your team can open in the browser from anywhere.
Pipelines, fields, and lead sources are configured for how hr tech teams actually sell and serve customers - so you are not forced into a generic sales template.
Question: 2
A CRM keeps every hr tech enquiry - from online enquiry forms, calls and walk-ins - in one list, gives each one an owner, and reminds them to follow up, so nothing slips through the cracks and owners see every lead's status update live as the team works.
Question: 3
For most HR Tech businesses in India, CIPHER CRM is the strongest fit - it is India-first, ready for a weak signal, flat-priced with no per-user fees, and configured for hr tech workflows. Always compare options against your own requirements first.
CIPHER CRM: India-first, works on a weak signal, flat pricing, live in 1-3 days.
Question: 4
Not as a built-in chat today. Every lead and contact row has a one-click WhatsApp button that opens the chat, and hr tech teams log each conversation as a follow-up on the record, with a name and a date on the next step.
Every promise and reply stays on the customer's record, so the full history is there for whoever picks up the phone next. A WhatsApp-style messaging tab is in development.
Question: 5
CIPHER CRM uses simple flat pricing with no per-user fees, so you can add your whole hr tech team without the bill climbing. Exact pricing depends on your team size and needs and is shared on a quick demo call - call +91 97122 00017.
Two plans - Flexi and Growth - both include unlimited staff and clients.
Question: 6
Getting started takes 1-3 days. Book a free demo and our India-based team configures your pipeline, imports your existing leads and customers for free, and trains your staff - so you go live ready to sell.
No technical skills needed - setup and data migration are handled for you.
A growing HR Tech business in India, running on spreadsheets and WhatsApp across a small team.
Enquiries were scattered across phones and chats, follow-ups were missed, and the owner had no clear view of the pipeline, payments, or team performance.
They moved to CIPHER CRM with free data migration - every enquiry in one list, follow-up reminders with a name and a date, branded quotations, and invoices that show what is paid and what is overdue.
Within weeks, follow-ups stopped slipping and the team responded noticeably faster - turning more of the same enquiries into paying customers.
We run the salaries for spinning mills and foundries in our payroll software, but the monthly chase lives in CIPHER CRM. Each client gets a task every month with a checklist: attendance received, salary sheet sent, PF challan shared. The list shows me how far each one has got.
We handle factory licences and contract labour registrations for hosiery units and cycle parts makers. I file each licence on the client's record in CIPHER CRM, note when it runs out, and set a reminder well ahead.
Our proposals for HR policy manuals and salary grading go out as a link. When the MD accepts from his phone, I know without chasing his PA.
HR managers kept mailing us for candidate reports. These days they log in to our branded client area, where each report we share sits beside their invoices.
Clients pay us a quarter ahead for meal cards and wellness plans, and people leave midway. When someone exits, I credit the unused amount against that client's next invoice, and their balance drops straight away. I spend less of month-end on the phone with their HR.
Most weeks our trainers are out at client offices in Whitefield and Electronic City. I log every POSH or soft skills workshop as a task, trainer and date attached, so the calendar shows me the whole month.
Every restaurant or mall store that books weekend promoters or delivery riders through us wants something different. We added our own fields in CIPHER CRM for shift timing, headcount and dress code on each request.
After a layoff at a client company, our coaches take every person through CV rewrites and mock interviews. We discuss each candidate in the chat on their record, not in a WhatsApp group. When a coach is on leave, whoever covers reads that thread and runs the next mock interview.
Each campaign sits as a project under the client, with a task for the shoot at their Pithampur plant. The checklist tells me what is still pending.
Most hr tech teams lose more deals to slow follow-up than to price. A CRM that reminds you to follow up, with a name and a date on every next step, often pays for itself before anything else.
Client contracts, candidate profiles, and placement records travel over HTTPS every time.
Your mandates and client records are there when you need them, on a service with 99.9% uptime.
Each consultant and team lead sees only the data their job role allows.
Your mandate, client, and billing data is backed up regularly so it is safe and recoverable.
Evaluate any HR Tech CRM against these criteria - CIPHER CRM is built to meet each one.
Choose a CRM built for how Indian hr tech teams actually work - with rupee billing and GST on every line built in, not added on later.
Avoid per-user fees that punish you for growing. Flat pricing lets you add your whole team for one predictable cost.
Look for free data migration and go-live in days, not months, so you see value almost immediately.
Your hr tech team works on the move, so make sure the CRM opens on any phone and keeps working when the signal drops, instead of losing what they typed.
Generic CRMs make you build everything from scratch. Pick one already configured for hr tech pipelines and stages.
Choose a partner with India-based support in Hindi and English who understands your business and your timezone.
Confirm encryption in transit, access by job role, regular backups, and sensible data handling before trusting a CRM with customer data.
