Why Harbor?

We are our own customer

Our Founder, Kelly Burke, spent over a decade feeling frustrated by the tools available to run her recruiting agency. Eventually, she decided to build her own. She and her team of senior recruiters and engineers spent two years building and refining Harbor privately, making sure it solves their own recruitment challenges before finally opening it up to everyone else. Harbor is entirely self-funded.

When I started my recruiting agency - Work In Biotech - I had to piece together 5+ clunky software tools to create my recruiting workflow. So I decided to build my own! After spending a decade in this industry, I know how important it is to have a tool you can trust to deliver and last. We’ve built Harbor to be a tool you can rely on as a permanent part of your stack for years to come. We guarantee you’ll always talk to a real person, not a bot. Our team is not distracted by hype cycles or fundraising. We’re here for the long run with you.

Personal outreach

You can send from your own address, or even on behalf of a client or teammate. Automate your outreach without losing the personal touch. Your email sequences stop automatically the moment a candidate replies, and you can trigger them just by updating a candidate’s status.

Before Harbor, we used a 3rd party application for email drip campaigns. With the Harbor Sequences feature, we can merge our candidate management and outreach in one place. The Sequences feature also integrates across any number of email addresses, which has been great for efficiency and team collaboration.

Browser extension

Add candidates to jobs or add contacts to clients right from LinkedIn or GitHub. Unlike other extensions where you’re still stuck doing manual candidate updates and outreach, Harbor lets you do it all at once. Auto-source a candidate’s email address within the extension with one click, update a candidate’s status, and even kick off an email sequence without ever leaving the page you’re on.

The Harbor Chrome extension makes sourcing on LinkedIn a breeze! It gathers all information about candidates, including email addresses, and even allows me to send outreach directly from the extension, saving tons of time. I also love that I can edit a candidate’s profile details directly from the extension, rather than taking an extra step to open the browser application.

Booking links

Eliminate scheduling headaches with booking links built right into your workflow. No need for external tools like Calendly. Harbor has you covered. Simply set your availability and share your link. Harbor can even sync events between your calendar and clients’ calendars, so you never get double booked.Set up your link to automatically record, transcribe, and summarize your candidate interviews, so you can focus on your conversation, not frantically writing notes.

I love that Harbor creates booking links for me for phone, Google Meet, or Zoom calls. No more tedious back-and-forth scheduling for candidates and clients.

Jobs

Build a custom job pipeline that fits your workflow from initial job posting to the final hire. Add jobs instantly from templates or external URLs, build a branded job portal to receive applications, collect referrals, gather feedback on candidates, and highlight your progress with managers using a shareable URL of your candidate pipeline. Harbor also records your job analytics like time to fill, offer acceptance rate, number of candidates and interviews per hire, and more.

I love how I can create jobs instantly from a URL or a template - it’s a massive time-saver compared to manual entry. The "External Observer" feature is also great; it makes sharing candidates with my clients incredibly easy.

Habor has made client management so much more efficient. I can save notes and documents about a client and share it with the rest of my recruiting team.

Harbor is built for small recruiting agencies and independent recruiters who often work with multiple clients and want to keep building their business. The features of Harbor are geared towards recruiters and agencies who support many jobs and clients simultaneously – through sourcing candidates, sending outreach, scheduling and recording recruiter interviews, sharing recruitment progress with client contacts, and maintaining client relationships. Harbor is not built for in-house recruiting teams at companies or employers who are managing their own hiring.

Harbor was built by real recruiters in a profitable recruiting agency. The features in Harbor were designed and rigorously tested by recruiters like you - who want all their tools in one place, who focus on efficiently filling roles for clients, and who care about maintaining positive relationships with candidates.

We are proudly self-funded and thus focused on serving our customers, not investors. We have no plans to sell. We're here for the long run with you.

Yes. Harbor’s Chrome extension lets you source candidates directly from LinkedIn, LinkedIn Recruiter, and GitHub with one-click data extraction and import. You can add candidates to jobs, update their profiles, change their statuses within jobs, and even send them single emails or email sequences without leaving the page. You can also find candidate email addresses (personal and business) with one click. You get up to 500 free email lookups per agency per month, and you can get additional email lookups using our integrations with ContactOut, Apollo, and RocketReach

Yes and Yes! Harbor includes automated, drip email sequences, email sequence templates, and placeholders for personalization. Sequences stop automatically when candidates reply, and Harbor tracks sequence analytics (opens, clicks, replies), evaluates email content to avoid spam filtering, and saves email replies and threads within candidate profiles. You can send emails from an unlimited number of email accounts and use email warmup to improve deliverability. You can also allow any of your team members to send emails on your behalf or on each other’s behalf.

Yes. As you build your own candidate database in Harbor, you can search for candidates by keywords in their resumes, by how well their resumes match a job description, or by how similar their resumes are to an example resume.

Harbor integrates with Google Calendar, Google Meet, Microsoft Outlook Calendar, Zoom, DocuSign, and Twilio (for phone call recording and transcription). For finding contact information, Harbor works with ContactOut, Apollo, and RocketReach.

Yes. Harbor has booking links that connect to your Google or Microsoft Outlook Calendar to detect your availability and offer times for candidates to schedule calls with you. You can choose which times each day of the week that you want to have calls, your maximum number of calls per day, and how often you’d like a break between consecutive calls.

Yes. Harbor provides you and each of your team members a unique phone number that you can use to call candidates and automatically record and transcribe the calls. You can also create an interview prompt, and Harbor will summarize your calls based on that prompt for clean note taking and sharing with your clients.

Yes. Each job in Harbor has a unique, shareable link that allows clients to view candidates (including their full resumes) and their current status in the hiring process. You control what information is visible per job.

Harbor has a visual CRM board for you to monitor current and prospective clients. Harbor also automatically monitors news and new job postings by your clients, so you always know the best times to reach out for new business. When you’re ready to onboard a new client, Harbor’s DocuSign integration allows you to collaborate with your client on a contract and sign it. When a contract is about to expire, Harbor will notify you.

You can have up to 100 team members per account.

Harbor uses a secure network with database encryption and backups. Harbor supports Google OAuth and password login, two-factor authentication (TOTP), session tracking, unique subdomains per business account, and account backup and deletion. Your data in Harbor is always yours. We will never own or use your data in any way, and you can always export it out.

We offer a white glove migration service where we will personally help you move your data from your existing ATS / CRM into Harbor. We will ensure that everything is done right. Just sign up and reach out to us to get started!

We offer email support with a less than 24-hour turnaround time on Monday through Friday (PST timezone). Your support will always come from a human, not a bot.
