What is TE Recruit (formerly Big Biller)?

TE Recruit (formerly Big Biller) is a cloud-based Applicant Tracking system (ATS) and Recruitment Agency Customer Relationship Management (CRM) platform engineered specifically for boutique staffing agencies, executive search firms, and direct-hire placement companies. Positioned as an agency-focused recruitment operations alternative to enterprise agency platforms such as Bullhorn, PCRecruiter, and Crelate, the software consolidates candidate sourcing, client account management, job requisition tracking, and email communications into a single interface. TE Recruit incorporates automated resume parsing, pipeline stage visualization, bulk email sequences, and candidate activity logging to track candidates from initial sourcing through client submission, interview scheduling, and final placement. The platform connects directly to third-party job boards for automated job posting distribution and integrates with Microsoft Outlook and Google Workspace to synchronize contact records, calendar appointments, and email threads. Additionally, TE Recruit interfaces with the broader Top Echelon ecosystem, enabling participating agencies to share split-placement job requisitions and candidate pools via the TE Network or process contract staffing payroll through TE Pay.

President / Pharmacist Recruiter in Professional Services at Ridgemont Resources, Inc. (1-10 employees)

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I own a pharmacy recruitment firm and I use Big Biller daily for all of my daily recruitment and sales activities. I keep all candidate and client information in Big Biller and use it to track all activities.

Pros

Applicant tracking.
Sales activity tracking.
Job order information.
Store resumes.
Create follow up activities.

Return on Investment

We moved to Big Biller from a home grown system and there is no comparison.
Big Biller helps me keep track of all my candidates and clients and job order projects.

Other Software Used

QuickBooks Desktop for Mac, Microsoft 365

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Big Biller is my ATS and my CRM - that means I use it to manage candidates but also for business development.

Pros

Organizes candidate data.
Parses resumes.
Helps me manage business development.

Cons

It would be nice if it worked with Outlook - it does work with outlook.com but if I want to use my own domain name, Outlook doesn't allow
I have suggested improvements and often, they have updated software to include.

Return on Investment

I can access from anywhere allowing me to travel without having to bring along paper files.
Using BB has improved my candidate management helping to stay on top of interviews and follow ups.
Business development has improved since I only have to use one system instead of an ATS, separate CRM and email management tool.

Partner in Human Resources (1-10 employees)

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use Big Biller for a variety of things. To organize my search efforts, to advertise my job orders on the Internet as well as to my trading partners on the Top Echelon network. I also use it to connect with my TE Colleagues whenever I get a new search in an area of expertise or geographic territory I haven't worked in before.

Pros

Connect with other independent recruiters
Organize a search
Tracking candidate applications

Cons

I'd make sure that when trading partners re-post TE colleagues' jobs that the compensation information isn't removed.
Make it easier to report the placement of a colleague's applicant, who was never on Big Biller and/or was associated with a job order on Big Biller. A General Placement Reporting form. If it already exists, make it easier to find.
Don't know if it's possible, but find a way to stop candidates from applying for the same job over and over and over again. I've had one candidate in particular, who keeps applying for my job via every other recruiter, who has reposted my Job Order. He is overseas and he has bombarded me with his applications for my job. I can't consider him, and I've even emailed him to stop, but he is still applying for the job. I'm beginning to think he isn't real and that his applications are actually a kind of algorithm from some kind of phishing or hacking effort.

Return on Investment

It has been an invaluable tool that has directly contributed to my company's success.
It has made my firm more powerful and able to service our client companies.
Can't think of any negative issues where Big Biller has hurt my business.
