Sales-quoted API
Why it comes up: Staffing ATS and CRM if the desk is volume rather than retained search.
Stands out: Payroll and compliance sit next to the staffing ATS rather than as afterthoughts.
Watch out: No published price, and it is the wrong shape for a corporate talent team.
Best for
$85/user/mo Free trial API
Why it comes up: Recruiting CRM if you are an agency rather than a search firm.
Stands out: Desktop-class notes, hotlists and email sync for small agency desks.
Watch out: No MCP, and the published price is annual billing rather than month to month.
Best for
Sales-quoted API
Why it comes up: Enterprise talent CRM if campus and alumni are the programme.
Stands out: You shape the data model to the organisation rather than fitting into a fixed pipeline.
Watch out: It needs a team to configure and maintain, so it is not a quick deployment.
Best for
$130/mo MCP API
Why it comes up: In-house mid-market CRM sitting on an ATS.
Stands out: CRM and outreach layered onto the ATS you already have, with a hosted MCP.
Watch out: Pricing scales with company headcount, and anything past a small team is quoted.
