“Often, the systems were dictating our processes, which is fundamentally the wrong way around.”

A fixed product
Fixed and rigid
You adapt to the tool
A change request and a roadmap queue
​
Migration required every 3-5 years
Seven20, a platform
Configurable, flexible and scalable
The tool adapts to you
Your admins make the change themselves
Configuration, not migration
product vs platform
A product is something you buy.
A platform is something you build on.
Most recruitment systems are rigid products with fixed features, workflows, and limits. That's fin until your business need something new. Then you're stuck behind your vendor's roadmap, or planning a painful migration. While the shiny new AI platforms support quick development, they don't solve the control problem.
the foundation
Salesforce wrote the blueprint. We built recruitment on top of it.
Salesforce has spent over 27 years building the most widely trusted CRM platform in enterprise software. Seven20 shapes that foundation for recruitment, so you get the power without the need to build from a blank canvas.
27+ years of enterprise platform development
Recruitment-specific modules on Salesforce's core
All the flexibility, none of the fiddly complexity
Take the modules you need and leave the rest
Add a module later without touching what already works
Less accumulated technical debt than first-generation packages carry
Modular architecture
Built in modules for
rapid delivery.
Seven20 is the first recruitment CRM and applicant tracking system built on Salesforce second-generation packaging. In practice that means small independent modules rather than one large block. We ship changes without breaking things you rely on, and you add or remove parts without a rebuild.​
"It evolves almost monthly. That's the part we love, if we want it, they make it happen. Nothing has ever not been implemented."

AN HONEST NOTE FROM SEVEN20
Who Seven20 isn’t for.
Despite our industry-leading configurability, flexibility, and scalability, Seven20 isn’t a one-size-fits-all platform. We’re probably not the right choice if you run a simple desk, expect to run it the same way in three years, and want the cheapest and fastest option available. A lightweight off-the-shelf or AI-native tool will serve you better and we will say so.
​
Seven20 also might take longer to implement than a product you switch on in an afternoon. Right now, that’s the direct cost of a configurable platform. We’re narrowing the gap: AI is now doing more of the configuration, data mapping, and workflow scaffolding that used to be manual, which is bringing implementation timelines way down.
​
Seven20 earns its keep when your process is part of your competitive advantage, when you have more than one model to run, or when you expect your business to look different in the future.
"As someone who's been through 6 recruitment software migrations over the last 14 years, I knew we couldn't afford to make another misstep."

built for your admins
A platform built to make management easy.
Salesforce has the largest administrator and developer community in enterprise software. That means more people to hire, more documentation to read, and more ways to solve a problem than raising a ticket with your vendor.
Direct access to the metadata settings you would expect
Your admins extend Seven20 themselves
Second generation packaging, so less technical debt to inherit
A hiring pool of Salesforce admins, not a hiring pool of one vendor's specialists

Frequently asked questions
Because building a platform is a 25-year job and Salesforce has done it. You inherit the infrastructure, the security posture, the app ecosystem and the administrator community without having to maintain any of it. Our engineering goes into recruitment instead.
No. Your Salesforce licences are included in your Seven20 subscription. One vendor, one contract.
You take the modules that fit and leave the ones that don’t. Because Seven20 is built on Salesforce second generation packaging, each module is independent, so adding one later doesn’t mean rebuilding what you already have. So you can deploy and re-deploy quickly without affecting the rest of your org.
Some use Salesforce as a base and then put their own fixed structure on top, which limits what you can configure. You get the Salesforce logo without the Salesforce flexibility. Seven20 keeps the platform's configurability intact and adds recruitment features to it.
Yes. Talk to us about your current setup and we will walk through what that looks like for your environment.
Longer than an off-the-shelf tool, shorter than a Salesforce build. Most businesses go live in weeks from a vertical template. Deeper configuration takes longer, and how much you do up front is your call. We are using AI to automate more of the configuration and data mapping, which is shortening timelines, but it won’t be live in a single day.
Not to go live, and not to run it day to day. You need them if you want to build your own automations and agents, and the point of Salesforce is that those skills are hireable and the documentation is public. You are not dependent on us to make a change.
