The fundamental difference between Grimp and HubSpot
The strengths of a CRM built for your placement goals
While both are CRMs, Grimp and HubSpot serve very different purposes. HubSpot is primarily a B2B sales management tool used by thousands of companies to manage their sales and marketing. Grimp is a school-company CRM specifically designed to manage student professional placement.
Grimp
A CRM dedicated to school-company relations
Grimp is designed for school relations managers, school directors, and corporate partnership managers. The tool allows them to manage professional placement as a core business process: personalized student tracking, partner network management, native Qualiopi reporting, and AI-powered matching.
HubSpot is a sales CRM, while Grimp is a school-to-business CRM. The former supports B2B sales, while the latter manages learner placement.

Features that make a difference every day
These features are at the heart of the work done by school relations managers and school directors. They exist natively in Grimp, but require complex (or even impossible) configuration in HubSpot.
The education ATS, essential for managing placement
An ATS (Applicant Tracking System) is now the standard for any school or apprenticeship training center (CFA) that wants to seriously manage student placement. Grimp includes a native ATS designed specifically for the education sector:
Individualized learner management
Visual pipeline (Kanban or list), identification of bottlenecks, full interaction history, and coach activity. Each learner has a dynamic profile, updated in real time.
Centralized Qualiopi reporting
All Qualiopi indicators (placement rates, progress, satisfaction) are automatically generated from Grimp and can be exported at any time for your auditors.
Integrated job board and offer sharing
Centralize offers from your partner companies and access over 200,000 external offers (HelloWork, France Travail, APEC, La Bonne Alternance). Automatically distribute them to the relevant students.
Placement rate tracking & career insertion KPIs
Track your students' placement rates in real time by cohort, sector, and level. Identify at-risk profiles and measure the effectiveness of your career services department.
Active alumni community
Invite your alumni to the platform, track their career progression on an interactive map, and mobilize them as ambassadors for future learners or recruiters.
"Grimp Intelligence" AI matching
Powered by Mistral AI, the matching engine analyzes CVs and job offers to suggest the best matches in real time, for both students and recruiters.
