What each one does differently

Loxo

$149/user/mo Free trial MCP API

Why it comes up: Recruiting CRM if you want BD inside the ATS, not beside it.

Stands out: An ATS plus a sourcing database and MCP, built for agency desks.

Watch out: The published Core price is annual billing, and the MCP URL is issued in-product.

Best for

Agencies that outgrew a spreadsheet and a job board
Desks that want sourcing next to the ATS
Teams that want MCP on the ATS of record

SourceWhale

Sales-quoted MCP

Why it comes up: Agency outreach if sequences matter more than relationship tracking.

Stands out: Outreach, SMS, WhatsApp, call tasks, notes, and inbox AI sit in one agency workspace with ATS write-back. Its MCP server lets Claude or ChatGPT search full call transcripts, notes and CVs, so a recruiter can prep for a call or find who mentioned relocating without opening SourceWhale.

Watch out: There is no public rate card. LinkedIn steps are often manual to-dos, and InMail is not sent from inside the tool. MCP write access covers only notes, person details, custom fields and pipeline moves, and a pipeline move made through MCP does not send that stage's automated email.

Best for

Recruitment agencies replacing a stack of sequencers
Desks that need SMS and WhatsApp next to email
Teams that want notes auto-logged to the ATS

Recruit CRM

$95/user/mo Free trial MCP API

Why it comes up: ATS plus CRM if you still need a system of record.

Stands out: A hosted MCP at agent.recruitcrm.io plus agency hotlists and GDPR controls.

Watch out: MCP access has to be switched on per role before an assistant can connect.

Best for

Boutique staffing agencies
Mid-size desks that need hotlists
UK and EU agencies that care about GDPR tooling

Bullhorn

$99/user/mo API

Why it comes up: Full agency suite if Bloom's two live CRMs are not yours.

Stands out: Staffing CRM plus a marketplace of more than 300 partners on Core.

Watch out: Only the two small-agency tiers are published. AI, automation and analytics all sit behind a quote.

Best for

Staffing agencies
Desks that need client management next to jobs
Firms that live on the Bullhorn marketplace
