Digital business card for recruiters Two pipelines. One of them is people.
Reach the candidate before a rival agency does: one scan saves you, and they can send their details to your searchable list.
Free forever · No card details · About a minute

Example of what happens next: Daniel Osei scans Tom’s card, saves Tom to their contacts and chooses to send their own details back. The next morning at 09:00, Cardr Pro reminds Tom to follow up, with the email already drafted.
A digital business card for recruiters has two jobs: this week’s call and the role in eighteen months. Candidates and clients scan your card with nothing to install, save you and can send their details back. Your notes sit on each name, every contact is searchable, and Pro drafts the message when the role lands.
One scan. You’re in their phone. They can send theirs.

The long game
- Volume is the job
- Recall is the skill
- Both sides
Volume is the job. Recall is the skill. The two are in direct conflict.
- Volume is the job. You meet more people in a month than any other trade on this site, and it is not close.
- Recall is the skill. The two are in direct conflict. Whoever remembers the candidate from March places them in September.
- Both sides. Clients and candidates are the same contact problem run twice, with different notes against each.
Each constraint decides the format. A card that fails any one of the three does not get used a second time, however good it looks.

A meetup, a careers fair and three client meetings in one week, and the value sits in details nobody wrote down: which candidate has a nine-month notice period, which one moves only for a shorter commute, which hiring manager is recruiting again after the funding closes.
Cardr captures it at the exchange, instead of in a Friday data-entry session that never happens.
The timescale is long, so how you reopen a conversation matters. A message that quotes what someone told you eighteen months ago reads differently from a mailshot, and the candidate can tell.
Nothing for them to download.
Tap through what Tom sees when he scans your card.

ProTime to follow up with Daniel OseiFollow-up drafted
- The candidate before the rival agency. After they save you, they can send their details back, so Monday’s call has a number.
- Both sides of the desk, one list. Candidates and clients captured the same way, with tags to keep them apart.
- The detail that places them. Notice period, salary band, why they would move: on the contact, not in your head.
- Found when the role lands. Every contact and every note is searchable on the free plan.
- Messages that show you remember. Pro drafts them from your notes, for 200 people a month.
- Agency brand, private lists. Cardr Teams brands every card; each consultant’s list stays their own. No ATS sync: export CSV or vCard.
The card is free. Pro does the follow-up.
Everything in the first column stays free, with no expiry and no limit on exchanges or contacts. Pro adds what happens after the meeting.

Recruiters, answered.
Does it integrate with Bullhorn, Vincere or an ATS?
No. Cardr has no ATS or CRM integrations. Every plan, including free, exports to CSV and vCard, which covers a manual import into most systems. If automatic sync is a must, Cardr is the wrong tool, and we would rather say so now.
Is it GDPR-safe for candidate data?
The form people use tells them their details go to you and are stored. You are the data controller for the contacts you collect, and our terms say so. How long you keep them and how you handle deletion requests is yours to decide. Our privacy notice sets out our side.
Can the whole agency use it?
Yes. Cardr Teams puts the agency’s name, logo and colour on everyone’s card and Apple Wallet pass from one console, from £39 a month for five people, with a 30-day trial and no card to start. There is no shared candidate pool: each consultant’s list is private, and admins cannot see it.
Does the candidate need an app?
No. Your QR code opens your card as a web page on their phone, iPhone or Android, and they save you to their contacts from there. Asking a passive candidate to install something is how you lose them.
What does it cost?
Free forever, no card details: your card, page and Apple Wallet pass, the two-way exchange, and every contact with notes, search and export. Pro, £12 a month or £108 a year (£9 a month), adds drafted messages, reminders, a pipeline of every lead and all 16 pass designs. 7 days free, then 30 days to change your mind.
Free forever. About a minute to build.
Nothing for the other person to install, and no card details to start.
