Unedited output reads recognisably generated and costs candidate replies

Finding people

General AI assistant used in recruitment for writing, candidate analysis and structured thinking. Free covers chat, web search, memory, file creation and connectors. Pro is USD 17 a month on an annual plan (USD 200 up front) or USD 20 monthly and adds surrounding tools and more models. Max starts at USD 100 a month and buys usage rather than features. Team runs from USD 20 a seat for 2 to 150 people, with SSO, admin controls and a statement that content is not used for model training. It holds no candidate data and integrates with no ATS.

Usage limits are described as multiples rather than published as numbers

Finding people

Browser extension for scraping data from web pages into spreadsheets. Extract contact lists, job postings, and candidate info from any website.

The free tier is restricted on some domains, which may include your target

Reaching people

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

Finding people

LinkedIn automation for profile visits, connection invitations and drip campaigns. Pro $14.99/month runs basic automation in your browser; Turbo $55 adds drip campaigns, a central inbox and CRM integrations; Cloud $99 runs the same on the vendor's infrastructure so campaigns continue with your browser closed.

LinkedIn does not permit automation and restricts accounts; compatibility with Recruiter is not endorsement

Finding people

AI-powered people search engine using natural language. Search 800M+ profiles by describing your ideal candidate instead of Boolean strings.

The origin of the aggregated profile data is not documented, which is a real problem under EU rules

Finding people

The industry-standard sourcing platform. Access 900M+ LinkedIn profiles with AI-powered search and InMail.

No published price for any package, in any market

Connecting it up

General visual automation platform used in recruitment as glue between systems. Free gives 1,000 credits a month, 2 active scenarios and a 15-minute minimum interval; Core at USD 9 a month for 10,000 credits makes scenarios unlimited and drops the interval to one minute. Pro USD 16 adds priority execution and log search, Teams USD 29 adds roles and shared templates, Enterprise is quoted. Around 3,000 connectors. It ships connectors and control flow, not recruitment logic.

A polling trigger spends a credit on every empty check, and an action module spends one per bundle, so scenario design decides the bill more than the price list does

Connecting it up

Open-source workflow automation with a commercial cloud, used in recruitment as a self-hostable alternative to Make and Zapier. The community edition is free and self-hosted. Cloud plans start at EUR 20 a month billed annually for 2,500 workflow executions, EUR 50 for 10,000 and EUR 667 for 40,000 with a self-hosted licence key. Every plan includes unlimited users, unlimited workflows and every integration, and executions are counted regardless of how many steps each one runs.

The more technical of the mainstream automation tools; comfort with JSON and APIs is assumed

Connecting it up

General-purpose kanban board used as a lightweight hiring pipeline: a list per stage, a card per candidate. Free for up to 10 boards and 10 collaborators per Workspace; unlimited boards from $5/user/month, cross-board views from $10.

No CV parsing, job posting, candidate search or interview scheduling on any plan

Finding people

LinkedIn and email outreach automation, sold per user per month and built for prospecting rather than recruitment. Pro EUR 19 covers LinkedIn sequences with 300 invitations a month; Advanced EUR 49 raises that to 800 and opens the API plus Make, Zapier and n8n; Business EUR 69 adds cold email and multichannel campaigns. A 14-day trial, no free tier. It reads LinkedIn Search, Sales Navigator and Recruiter Lite, and pushes to HubSpot and Pipedrive.

Automating LinkedIn is against LinkedIn's terms and accounts do get restricted

Assessing people

AI hiring platform for adaptive first-round interviews, comparative evaluation support and a built-in ATS.

Reduces repetitive first-round interview workload

Future paid pricing is unknown

System of record

AI-native recruiting CRM and ATS for enterprise agencies, built to auto-capture call and client context instead of relying on manual data entry. No public pricing; demo only.

No public pricing; the only route in is a demo request

System of record

All-in-one ATS and CRM for independent recruiters and small to midsize agencies, with AI resume parsing and candidate matching, multiposting to 20+ job boards and outreach automation. Free Forever plan with the core features; paid plans from $12/user/month on annual billing, with monthly billing available too and a 30-day free trial.

Published per-user pricing well below most agency platforms

Very small independent review base; G2 shows no reviews yet

System of record

Enterprise platform spanning recruitment CRM, applicant tracking and talent management, whose defining property is that almost everything is configurable — which is why global organisations choose it and also what makes it heavy to run. No general public pricing; a UK government framework listing exists but is procurement-specific.

Configurability is the most consistent strength across both review platforms

No general public pricing; the only public figure is a UK government framework listing

Finding people

Job platform for blue- and grey-collar hiring where candidates search vacancies on a map by location and travel time and apply directly to the employer. Employers pay one flat monthly subscription for unlimited postings, with ATS integration and optional recruitment marketing campaigns.

One flat monthly fee with unlimited postings keeps channel cost predictable

No independent traffic or application data is published, so reach is unproven per sector

System of record

Applicant tracking built for staffing agencies, RPO providers and recruiting firms, priced by utilisation rather than by flat seat. Standard starts from $125 a month, the RPO add-on is $100 per recruiter seat, and the Back Office and Wizdom analytics modules each start from $499 a month, so the working configuration decides most of the bill.

Publishes an entry price and module prices, where most agency systems publish nothing

Back Office and Wizdom analytics each start from $499/month, several times the base plan

Assessing people

Voice-first AI screening bot from Mumbai that phones candidates in the recruiter's own recorded voice, transcribes and ranks the answers, and schedules interviews. Pay-per-use from USD 10 (USD 0.10/min) for one user; teams are quote-only. Sold into India, the Philippines and Mexico.

Self-serve checkout serves only India, the Philippines and Mexico

After the hire

Interview scheduling and candidate-experience layer on top of an enterprise ATS, with bidirectional integrations to Workday, Greenhouse, iCIMS, UKG and Oracle. Custom annual subscription with no per-seat charge, unlimited users and jobs, and implementation included.

No per-seat cost, so occasional hiring managers can all be in the tool

No published price; independent estimates run into the tens of thousands a year

Finding people

Developer hiring channel that matches roles to the daily.dev network and makes warm introductions only after candidate opt-in.

Developer-specific channel rather than another generic sourcing database

No self-directed search of the underlying developer network

System of record

Applicant tracking with a genuinely free core tier: unlimited users, unlimited jobs, job-board posting and Gmail or Outlook integration at no cost, with a single $199 monthly Premium tier adding AI applicant scoring and AI note taking. Dover's Recruiter Marketplace is a separate recruiting service on deposits and hourly rates, not part of the ATS price.

The free tier includes unlimited users and unlimited jobs, which is where most free ATS tiers cap you

No published single sign-on, enterprise access control or compliance certification was found
