SeekOut

The agentic AI recruiting platform to source from 1B+ profiles, screen applicants, and engage candidates at scale.

Overview

SeekOut stands out for combining a huge sourcing database with both a self-serve platform (Recruit) and a managed-service option (Spot) for teams that want recruiting capacity without hiring more staff. That flexibility is a real advantage over pure-software competitors — companies can dial between DIY sourcing and outsourced recruiting depending on need.

On the downside, pricing isn't transparent beyond a free trial, and value depends heavily on how well it integrates with your existing ATS (Greenhouse, Workday, Lever, etc.). Compared to hireEZ or Eightfold, SeekOut leans more heavily into technical and GTM sourcing use cases, so it's worth confirming role coverage for your specific hiring mix before committing.

Key Features

  • Intelligent Search: Searches across 1B+ candidate profiles with deep filtering.

  • AI Screening: Evaluates inbound applicants automatically against role criteria.

  • Talent Pool Rediscovery: Surfaces overlooked past candidates already sitting in your ATS.

  • Multi-touch Outreach: Automated, personalized candidate engagement campaigns.

  • SeekOut Spot: A hybrid AI-agent-plus-recruiter service promising interview-ready candidates in 14 days.

  • Labor Market Intelligence: Talent supply/demand insights to inform hiring strategy.

  • Free trial: Lets teams test the platform before a sales commitment.

Cons

  • Opaque pricing: No published rate card beyond the trial.

  • Best for technical/GTM roles: Less proven for hourly or frontline hiring compared to Paradox or Humanly.

  • Service tier adds cost: Spot's managed-recruiting option is a separate spend on top of the core platform.

What Makes It Unique

  • Software-plus-service hybrid: SeekOut is one of the few players offering both a self-serve sourcing platform and an outsourced-recruiter service under one roof.

Manus

A general-purpose AI agent that goes off and does the task for you

Manus is an autonomous AI agent that takes a task like researching a topic, building a spreadsheet, or writing code, and works through it on its own, browsing the web and running tools as needed, then hands back a finished result. It's less a chatbot and more a virtual assistant you assign work to. It runs on a credit system, so cost tracks how much work each task actually takes rather than a flat seat price.

Usage-based via credits; cheapest paid plan is around $20/mo for 4,000 monthly credits (no flat per-task price)

Toyo

An AI executive assistant that lives in iMessage, WhatsApp and Slack, and calls your phone

Toyo is an AI agent built for non-technical founders and small teams who need an executive assistant but can't hire one. It runs on a cloud computer with browser and app access, so it can triage your inbox, prep you for meetings, research prospects, and draft outreach, all through a normal text or voice conversation. There's no dashboard to learn; you just message it like you would a real assistant, and it asks for your approval before taking any action outside its sandbox.
