Bottom line
RecruitScout automates business development for recruitment agencies: it spots new job ads in your niche, finds the hiring decision maker and sends your own email and LinkedIn messages. It suits agencies and headhunters chasing new clients, especially in Europe and the GCC, and is sold by quote with no trial.
Stands out for: It goes from job ad to sent message without manual work, covering 120+ portals including niche boards that never reach LinkedIn or Indeed, and it targets the hiring decision maker rather than HR. You write and approve every template, and replies arrive in your own inbox rather than a separate tool.
Watch out for: There is no published price and no free trial, and the portal and country list is not published, so check coverage for your market on a demo. Its customer base is mostly Italian and European agencies, and it has no public API or CRM, so conversations live in your email.
Overview
RecruitScout monitors more than 120 job portals, including niche and national boards, and detects new openings within minutes to a couple of hours, pulling active jobs published up to 90 days back when you start.
Filters cover roles, industries, locations, seniority and company exclusions, and several roles, sectors and markets can be tracked at once.
For each opening it identifies the decision maker for that hire, then finds a direct company email and LinkedIn profile using multi-source enrichment, and flags companies where no valid contact turns up.
Your approved email and LinkedIn templates are personalised with the role and company and sent as a sequence with follow-ups; it works with the free LinkedIn plan, and replies come to your own inbox.
It is not a CRM, job board or candidate tool. Published customers include Solgeko, VETA Ideas, NETtoWORK and DRD Recruiting, and the vendor says it is GDPR compliant.

Pricing
RecruitScout does not publish prices; each agency gets a quote based on the volume of job signals monitored, how much of the research and outreach is automated, and the level of support. You can pay monthly or yearly, and paying yearly upfront brings a discount. There is no free trial; the vendor offers an onboarding session instead. Subscriptions do not renew automatically. LinkedIn action volume depends on the plan. Confirm current terms on the vendor site.
