Detailed Review
RECMAN AS was incorporated on 1 February 2013 and sits at Karenslyst allé 4 in Oslo, organisation number 911 621 541, with terms written under Norwegian law.
Like Carerix it is agency software first: a recruitment CRM with invoicing and workforce management for staffing firms, with Recruiter LITE as the lighter plan for a company hiring for itself. The per-user prices are published — €8.90 for Recruiter LITE, €115 for the agency CRM, €165 for Workforce — and the trial runs fourteen days without a credit card.
It is the only one of the five newcomers with an independent audit to show. Its own Hosting and Security Overview, version 5.0 of 10 December 2025, claims ISO 27001 for five consecutive years and a SOC 2 Type 1 report. That document is also where the limits appear: Amazon Web Services is the sole host and the region is never named, only the assurance that the infrastructure "operates entirely within the EU/EEA".
Two more things to weigh before the price tempts you. Norway is in the EEA but not the EU, which some procurement rules and some public-sector buyers treat as a different thing. And nobody owns RecMan on paper as far as the public record goes: the footer says only "RecMan AS", the privacy policy and terms give no organisation number, and the Norwegian register lists no shareholders, so the question of who is behind it has no primary answer.
What RecMan does well
- Published per-user pricing: €8.90 for the in-house ATS plan, €115 for the agency CRM, €165 for Workforce
- ISO 27001 for five consecutive years plus a SOC 2 Type 1 report
- Agency CRM, invoicing and workforce management in one product
- Fourteen-day trial with no credit card
- Norwegian company under Norwegian law, incorporated in Oslo in 2013
Where RecMan falls short
- Norway is in the EEA but not the EU, which some procurement rules treat differently
- AWS is the only host and the region is not named — "entirely within the EU/EEA" is as specific as it gets
- No owner in the public record: the register lists no shareholders and the vendor names none
- Recruiter LITE is the light plan of an agency product; the depth is all on the agency side
- VAT treatment is not stated on the pricing page
Standout feature. Certificates and a price list together: ISO 27001 and SOC 2 on one side, €8.90 per user printed on the other, which is a combination nothing else here manages.
