Tools for reaching out to and engaging candidates: outreach and sequencing products, conversational AI, email tooling and the scheduling that follows a reply.
Between finding somebody and assessing them. This is where a name becomes a conversation, and where most outbound pipelines quietly fail — not because the list was wrong but because nobody replied.
Choosing a engagement & conversion tool is mostly a question of which trade-off you can live with. The list below is ordered by how squarely each tool sits in this category, then by how much of its pricing and positioning we can back with a primary source.
General AI assistant used in recruitment for vacancy copy, outreach drafts, profile summaries and search strings. Free covers unlimited text chats with limited uploads and features. Go is EUR 8 a month and the vendor says it may contain advertising; Plus is EUR 23 and adds advanced reasoning, projects and custom GPTs; Pro starts at EUR 103 for 5x or 20x more usage. Business is EUR 21 per seat a month billed annually with a two-user minimum, adding SSO, spend controls and no training on company data by default. It holds no candidate data and integrates with no ATS.
Unedited output reads recognisably generated and costs candidate replies
LinkedIn and email drip campaigns run from the vendor's own infrastructure, so sequences continue with your browser closed. Basic USD 39 per seat a month billed annually allows one campaign and 20 connection requests a day; Pro USD 59 opens unlimited campaigns and 75-plus requests and 100-plus messages a day; Advanced USD 79 is marked most popular but publishes the same limits as Pro. Every paid plan includes email sequences and 100 email-finder credits a month. One LinkedIn account per seat, 7-day free trial.
Hosted execution means a third party holds a standing session on your LinkedIn account
Cloud-based LinkedIn and email outreach automation from LeadExpress B.V. in Eindhoven, sold as one plan with every feature: USD 99 per seat per month or USD 79 billed annually, agency pricing on quote from ten seats, 7-day free trial. Each seat is one LinkedIn account run from a dedicated country-based IP with automatic warm-up. Smart Sequences branch on nine IF conditions; replies sync natively to HubSpot, Pipedrive and Salesforce, or anywhere via webhooks. Built for sales and agencies; no ATS integration named.
Automating LinkedIn is against LinkedIn's terms and accounts do get restricted; the vendor's own footer says use is at your own risk

No public price, and no trial or pilot terms established
B2B discovery, enrichment and email outreach platform, not recruitment-native. Every plan carries the Discover database, with basic filters free and advanced filters from Starter. Free gives 50 credits a month; Starter EUR 34, Growth EUR 104 and Scale EUR 209 per month on annual billing, with 24,000 to 300,000 credits a year. One credit finds an email, half a credit verifies one, and team members are unlimited on every plan.
Discover is organised around companies and roles, not around candidate skills or availability, and there is no pipeline
B2B contact database with a built-in outreach layer, not recruitment software. A free account gives 5 lookups. On annual billing every tier has unlimited verified lookups: Essentials USD 19/month (email only), Pro USD 52 (adds mobile and direct dials), Ultimate USD 115. On monthly billing the same plans cost USD 39, 79 and 169 and are metered at 100, 250 and 1,000 lookups. Exports are the real ceiling at 1,200, 3,600 or 20,000 a year. Bullhorn is the only recruitment system among the integrations.
Unlimited lookups exist only on annual billing; monthly meters the same plans at 100 to 1,000

Team seats are unlimited on every plan and warm-ups become unlimited from the second tier. LinkedIn automation, extra mailboxes, sending domains and enrichment tokens are priced separately.
Headline prices are annual-equivalent; the monthly price is not shown beside the plan
Recruitment advertising orchestration for in-house teams: jobs sync from the ATS, a guided builder launches campaigns across Meta, TikTok and job boards with AI-generated creatives, targeting and budget control, and a real-time dashboard tracks spend, applicants and cost per hire. The vendor states 0% markup on ad spend, with the employer paying advertising directly.
0% markup on ad spend keeps software and media cost as separate lines
Not an ATS: it depends entirely on the vacancy data it receives
