From $99/month 30-day free trial
Bottom line
Celect is an AI hiring platform where an agent called Cai drafts job posts, ranks applicants, runs outreach and books interviews from plain-language prompts. Plans start at $99 per month, Growth is $199 per month, agencies get custom pricing, and there is a 30-day free trial. It fits small in-house teams and agencies that want an affordable, prompt-driven hiring workflow with a human signing off on each decision.
Stands out for: Most of the work runs through Cai, so a recruiter can ask for a job post, a ranked shortlist or a pipeline report instead of clicking through screens. Every plan includes application fraud detection, and the agency tier offers white-label branding and multi-client setup.
Watch out for: Plans are metered: Starter allows 3 job credits, 100 application analyses and 100 AI agent requests a month, so busy teams may outgrow it fast. The API is only available by arrangement on the custom tier, and the listed integrations are limited to LinkedIn, Ashby, Microsoft and GitHub. Celect has no Capterra reviews to check yet.
Overview
Celect is an AI hiring platform built around Cai, an agent that turns plain-language prompts into job posts, applicant analysis, outreach, interview scheduling and reports. Celect describes it as an AI layer on top of a hiring pipeline rather than a record-keeping ATS.
When applications come in, Celect evaluates them against the role's requirements and context, ranks candidates for review and runs application verification that flags inconsistent information. The vendor states that rankings are decision support and that recruiters keep final approval on hiring decisions.
The pipeline from application to offer is customizable, and the platform includes an analytics dashboard, team collaboration with shared feedback, and bulk upload analysis for existing resumes. Cai connects to LinkedIn for job posting, Ashby for two-way sync of jobs, candidates and applications, and lists Microsoft and GitHub connections.
Starter is $99 per month and Growth is $199 per month, each with monthly caps on job credits, team members, application analyses, fraud checks and agent requests. Agency / Enterprise pricing is custom and adds white-label, multi-client and API options. A 30-day free trial is available.
