Where they pull apart

hireEZ

Stands out: Open-web sourcing plus sequences and contact data in one outbound product.

Watch out: No MCP, and $494/mo is a real floor, so this is not an SMB finder.

Not the right fit for

  • Small desks that need a $50 finder
  • Buyers who need MCP

Recrew

Stands out: AI agents source, outreach, and schedule around the clock. An expert recruiter reviews every profile before it reaches you. The commercial trigger is joining, not shortlist volume.

Watch out: The success-fee percentage is not published. This is a service for India tech, engineering, AI/ML, data, product, and leadership, including GCC build-outs, not a self-serve sourcing login.

Not the right fit for

  • Companies that need a software seat and an API, not a recruiting partner
  • Non-India or non-tech hiring. That is outside the stated coverage

Pros and cons

hireEZ

  • Public $494/mo start

  • Pay only when the hire joins. No retainer
  • AI sourcing plus a human review on every shared profile
  • India tech and GCC coverage, including US-India time-zone coordination
  • Success-fee rate is quoted, not printed
  • Not a sourcing SaaS. You do not get a database login
  • Scope is India tech and adjacent functions, not global all-roles RPO
