What is TE Recruit (formerly Big Biller)?

Overview
TE Recruit™ is an applicant tracking system (ATS) and recruiting CRM built specifically for staffing, recruiting, and executive search firms. The platform helps agencies manage candidates, clients, job orders, pipelines, business development, outreach, and recruiting activity in one system, with an emphasis on reducing administrative work and improving recruiter productivity.


Key capabilities
TE Recruit includes customizable recruiting workflows and pipelines, candidate and client relationship management, job posting, reporting, sequencing, workflow automations, Data Enrichment, and AI-assisted recruiting tools. Its AI capabilities support tasks such as natural-language candidate search, job description creation, and search-string generation, while automation tools can trigger follow-up, outreach, and other workflow steps based on recruiting activity. TE Recruit also supports third-party integrations and provides Open API access for firms that need to connect the platform with other tools in their technology stack. te-recruit-demo


Agency-focused differentiation
Unlike general-purpose CRM or corporate talent acquisition systems, TE Recruit is designed around agency recruiting workflows, including candidate sourcing, client and company management, job orders, placements, recruiter activity, and business development. The platform is intended to give small and mid-sized recruiting firms flexibility without requiring enterprise-level complexity. Customer onboarding, training, and U.S.-based support are included, and customers frequently cite ease of use, support, automation, search, and overall value as strengths. te-recruit-demo

TE Recruit can be used independently of TE Network™, Top Echelon’s separately priced recruiter-to-recruiter split-placement network. Firms that use both can manage their internal recruiting workflows in TE Recruit while also accessing additional collaboration and placement opportunities through TE Network.


Product Lineage & Brand Evolution
TE Recruit represents the evolution of Big Biller, a cloud-based recruiting software product originally launched by Top Echelon Software to serve independent recruiters and staffing agencies. In 2025, Top Echelon unified its software portfolio under the TE brand identity, updating Big Biller to TE Recruit to form a consolidated suite alongside TE Network (its split-placement recruiter network) and TE Pay (its contract staffing back-office solution).
