Hiring good talent is hard at startups. Recruiters have to many hats to get their job done. What are the tools/plugins they to make their life easier?

    I implement workable.com at every single company I work/consult with. It's insanely easy to use, incredibly intuitive and makes life so much easier for everyone involved in the hiring process.

    I despise LinkedIn however it's still the largest database of professionals out there so I pay for a 'recruiter lite' account which is quite useful.

    connectifier.com/search is great for saving time in trying to extract an individuals contact info.

    Gild.com is insanely expensive but a decent investment if you're hiring a significant number of people.

    gender-decoder.katmatfield.com is a wonderful (free) resource to help you ensure your job adverts are using universally appealing language.

    charliehr.com is a great, lite-HR system that allows you to manage all of your documentation, holidays and payroll details in one place, and it's free.

    twiangulate.com/search/ is quite useful for discovering potentially interesting people on twitter.

    We can post a list of 100 tools but, but what works for you depends a bit on what part you exactly find hard. Can you elaborate on the challenges you face?

    In terms of ATS's (Applicant Tracking Systems), I've heard lots of recruiters like lever.co
