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.

Pricing

Starting price

Free trial available; paid plans are custom, contact sales

  • Free Trial: Available to test core sourcing and screening features.

  • Recruit (Custom): Quote-based platform pricing for enterprise sourcing and screening.

  • Spot (Service): Results-based or per-role pricing for managed sourcing/recruiting support.

Disclaimer: pricing may change, confirm on SeekOut's own pricing page before buying.

Pros

  • Huge sourcing database: Over a billion profiles searchable with granular filters.

  • Flexible engagement models: Choose software-only, per-role sourcing, or contract recruiter support.

  • Strong ATS integrations: Works with Greenhouse, Workday, Lever, and other major systems.

  • 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.

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.

Badge

AI agents collect anonymous peer reviews and turn them into a portable Trust Score

Badge is a professional verification app that gets an AI agent to reach out to your former colleagues on WhatsApp and ask them a few short questions about your work. Those anonymous answers roll up into a "Trust Score" you can share with recruiters instead of, or alongside, a resume. It's aimed at job seekers and freelancers who want proof of how they actually worked, not just a list of job titles.

Katalyst

An AI agent that updates your Salesforce pipeline for you, so reps stop typing notes and start selling

Katalyst listens to your calls, emails, and calendar, then writes the updates back into Salesforce itself: summaries, field changes, follow-ups, and next steps. It's built for enterprise sales teams drowning in CRM admin, not for solo founders or non-Salesforce shops. It's brand new (launched July 2026), so the pitch is strong but the track record is not.
