Annie is the coach a one-person desk never had. She learns your desk and your market, then tells you who to approach, why it should be you, why this week, and what angle is likely to land. She gets sharper the longer you work together.

Who to approach today, and why it should be you
Why now, in your market rather than in general
The angle most likely to get a reply
Another way in when the front door is shut
What happened when you tried, so tomorrow is sharper

Annie, in ninety seconds. Press play.

Every screen in the film is the real app, recorded as it runs.

Already in the CRM Never once contacted Reason attached

Names, companies and figures throughout this page are examples.

Start your free trial That was the product, not a video. Yours looks like that with your own contacts in it, about ten minutes after you sign up.

What you get

Your next mandate is already in your contacts.

Run

Same CRM. It just doesn't go stale.

Contacts, companies, jobs, pipelines, deals, meetings, tasks and invoices: nothing about running a search changes. What's different is the network sitting underneath it: connected-on and last-emailed dates fill themselves in from your mailbox and LinkedIn, so the one part of a CRM everybody lets go stale never does.

Connected-on and last-emailed dates, filled in for you
Every exchange turned into a dated note on the contact
A read-only shortlist link per role, turned on when you want the client to see it
Every row of an import accounted for: brought in, merged or skipped with a reason
One timeline per contact and candidate: calls, meetings, notes, email and stage moves
Fields from your old system carried over, still labelled the way that system named them

Find

The senior people you know and have never once called.

Your LinkedIn export becomes contacts, sorted by seniority and by the functions you actually recruit into. On my own export that was 629 people at Director level and above, not one of whom I had ever contacted.

Every connection becomes a contact
Ranked by seniority and function
The date you connected, kept on the record
Re-import and Annie compares it against the last one

Revive

The relationships that went quiet without you noticing.

Connect your mailbox and Annie fills in when you last spoke to everyone. She never sends by itself. The people you used to email weekly and have not touched in a year are the best BD list a recruiter owns, and nobody keeps it by hand.

And she's watching, too. When she finds a raise, a new appointment, or a live opening at a company you already know, it can hang right there on that person's card, so you have something real to open with when you reach out. She works through the companies in your network over time, and the card shows what she has found.

Desk memory

She remembers the desk you actually run.

The roles you take and the ones you turn down. The clients who came back and the ones who went quiet. What you asked her last Tuesday, and what you did about it. None of it is set up. She learns it from the work.

Your roles, not roles in general

A Group CFO search in Abu Dhabi is not a Group CFO search in Manchester. She knows the difference because she has watched you run yours.

Your patterns

Who replies to you, who never has, and what tends to separate the two.

Your history with a person

Every note you have written on them counts as evidence when it matters, not just storage.

She learns from your own records and your own mailbox. Not from your calls, and never from another recruiter’s desk.

Before you start

When your market moves, Annie emails you.

A funding round, a new appointment, a live opening at a company you cover. It lands first thing with the company, what happened, and why it is worth a call.

✓ It names who to approach. That last line on every row is the person in your own network to go through. No other digest email does that.

✓ Only companies you can reach. Annie finds the news out in the market, then filters it to the companies you already have someone inside. If there is no way in, it does not make the email.

Start your free trial Seven days, no card. Your first email lands the morning after you import.

Your market, watched

She reads your market. Not the market.

A raise, a new appointment, a live opening at a company you already know can hang off that person's card, with the reason it matters to you. Annie keeps moving through the companies in your network. What she has found is what shows up.

The article sits right there too, so you walk into the call having read what they read that morning.

Found on a company you know · 2 days ago

The whole desk

She can only coach you because she holds the lot.

Mandates, shortlists, interviews, placements and invoicing all live in Annie. That is not a feature list, it is the reason any of the coaching works. A coach who cannot see your pipeline is a tip bot. Open a mandate and she reads your own database back to you: every candidate you hold, your notes on them included, and the ones who fit with the reason attached.

Saving CVs on your desktop, working out of Excel, or using another system that looks like it was made in the 1950s? This is the part that replaces it. One recruitment CRM and ATS, one price, and it is the same place the coaching comes from.

On every lead

Who. Why you. Why now. What to say.

Why them, why now, what the move creates, who else you know in the group, and the article to read before you dial.

Thirty seconds of preparation you did not have to do yourself.

1Who — the person, and how you already know them

2Why you — what you have that the next recruiter calling them does not

3Why now — the thing that changed this week

4What angle — how to open, given what you actually have in common

5One next step — not a list of twelve. The next thing.

And when the front door is shut

Nobody at the top answering? She names the other routes into that company. The person a level down you have actually spoken to. The HR lead nobody calls. The one who left last year and still takes your call.

Annie is the CRM I wanted and could not buy.”

Who is Michael?

Michael has nearly fifteen years of experience recruiting in the GCC, ten of them spent helping to build one of the largest boutique search firms in the region, and has recently started his own firm. Before any of this was a product, it was Michael running his own export and his own mailbox through it to see what he had been missing.

Michael Stubbs

Founder

Like most recruiters, I am not a natural fan of CRMs. But working for myself I found that organisation matters more than it ever did with a team around me.

I wanted one place that holds the candidate and process side, and also pulls together the leads sitting in a network I have been selling into for nearly fifteen years. Names I would otherwise have no way of tracking. Whether I have actually spoken to someone, or only ever connected, usually decides whether they are worth chasing, and that was the part nothing was telling me.

It keeps my business development structured, which is the bit that slips first when you are doing the delivery as well.

From the LinkedIn exportConnections.csv · imported once

Senior contacts, zero outreach

629

Director level and above, already sitting in his network. Not one of them ever called.

Never one name on its own. Annie lists everyone else you know at that company beside the lead, with how you know each of them, so you pick the door rather than taking the first one offered.

From the mailboxSent mail · eighteen-month sweep, never sends by itself

And the BD he'd forgotten he'd done

Clients he used to hear from every week had gone cold, and nothing on his desk had told him how long it had been. Worse was the business development he had forgotten he'd done at all: a proposal sent, an approach made, no reply, and no follow-up, because nothing ever brought it back up.

From the founder's own desk, before Annie went to work on it. One side is what your connections file already knows. The other is what your sent folder already knows. Every account starts from wherever its own network actually is, a thinner one just gets a shorter list.

No dependency

She shows her working, every time.

Every call she makes, she tells you why. Not so you trust her blindly, but so that in six months you are reading your own market the way she does. Contacts, companies, mandates, candidates, pipeline and invoicing all sit underneath it, plus the business development half no other CRM caters to for one person agencies.

Straight answers

Questions I get asked.

Do I have to book a demo or an onboarding call?

No, and that is deliberate. Annie is built to be working for you the same morning you sign up, so a call would only slow you down. If you have a question before you start, email me directly at mstubbs@meetannie.ai and I will answer it myself.

What if my network is small?

Then you get a short list, and Annie will say so rather than padding it out with strangers. She only works from people already in your contacts. If a quiet day has nothing worth a call, the morning email does not arrive at all.

Do I need a card to try it?

No. Seven-day trial, no card. No contract and no minimum term. If you do nothing at the end of the week the trial simply stops.

Can I cancel any time?

Cancel any time from billing. You keep access until the period you paid for ends.

Is this an ATS, or a CRM?

Both, for one recruiter. Contacts, companies, mandates, candidates, pipeline and invoicing all sit in it. What it adds is the business development side — the leads already sitting in your network, found and ranked for you.
