The short answer

Juicebox : Self-serve AI sourcing across multiple data sources with no LinkedIn Recruiter contract needed. From $99/mo
SeekOut : Enterprise AI talent search that pulls from sources beyond LinkedIn, such as GitHub, and is not tied to a Recruiter seat. From $149/mo
Gem : Recruiting CRM with AI sourcing and multi-channel email sequences, rather than outreach limited to InMail. From $130/mo

Why people look past LinkedIn Hiring Assistant

You cannot buy it on its own: it requires a LinkedIn Recruiter or RPS+ contract, and LinkedIn Recruiter is listed separately in this directory as the parent product. Admins must assign Hiring Assistant licenses per seat, and LinkedIn says access is rolling out gradually, so some accounts may not see it yet. Sourcing is limited to LinkedIn members, and outreach runs through InMail rather than email or phone.

What we noted

Requires a LinkedIn Recruiter or RPS+ contract
No published price or trial
Sources LinkedIn members only

Not the right fit for

Small businesses without a Recruiter contract
Teams sourcing talent outside LinkedIn
Buyers who want self-serve pricing or a trial

Worth keeping in mind: It sources only from LinkedIn's 1B+ member network and uses signals other tools cannot see, such as your team's past Recruiter activity and InMail history, excluding anyone messaged in the last 3 months. RSC+ lets it evaluate applicants from your ATS alongside LinkedIn applicants, and a Microsoft Teams integration brings hiring managers into feedback. It runs in 7 languages.
