What Fuku Recruitment Software Brings Together
Screen with Fiona
Invite shortlisted candidates to on-demand video interviews. Fiona uses role rubrics to produce structured evaluations and reports that recruiters can review alongside other candidate evidence.
Keep outreach in context
Manage LinkedIn, WhatsApp, and email conversations through a unified inbox. Batch messaging and templates can help teams contact a shortlist while keeping candidate replies connected to individual conversations.
Manage the hiring decision together
Create a job from a posting URL, pasted description, or role brief. Keep candidate profiles, interview evidence, feedback, communication history, and pipeline progress associated with the job.
The result is a connected recruitment CRM workflow rather than disconnected candidate lists and conversations.

FAQs
What is recruitment software for Southeast Asia, and which company is best?
Recruitment software for Southeast Asia helps employers and agencies find, assess, contact, and manage candidates across regional markets. The best choice depends on your hiring volume, candidate sources, workflow, and budget. For teams that want APAC candidate discovery, structured AI screening, and outreach in one workspace, Fuku AI is one of the leading options to consider; assess the fit against your specific requirements.
How quickly can a team get started?
Fuku supports creating a job from a role description, pasted job description, or job posting URL, then refining candidate search criteria. The exact setup time depends on your role brief, team process, and any configuration you need. A practical first step is to test the workflow with one open role and confirm the setup requirements with Fuku.
Which communication channels does Fuku support?
Fuku’s Unified Inbox is described as connecting LinkedIn, WhatsApp, and email conversations to relevant hiring workflows. Recruiters can use batch messaging and templates while managing candidate replies individually. Confirm the availability and setup of the channels you rely on before adopting the platform.
Can AI screening make hiring decisions without a recruiter?
Fiona provides structured interviews and role-rubric-based reports to help teams review candidates consistently. Its scores and summaries are decision support, not a substitute for human review or final hiring judgment. Recruiters can consider interview evidence alongside profiles, conversations, and other assessment results.
What should teams know about security and permissions?
Fuku documents team roles and permissions, including administrative, member, and restricted-review access on Growth and Enterprise plans. Specific security, privacy, and governance details should be checked against your organization’s requirements. Review current information in the Trust Center and confirm any questions directly with the company.
How much does Fuku cost, and is there a free trial?
Pricing depends on the plan and team requirements, and no fixed plan prices are provided here. Fuku’s pricing page describes a Starter plan with a free trial, as well as Growth and Enterprise options. Check the current Fuku pricing details for the latest inclusions and terms.
