Why people look past Scout Talent

Enterprise ATS and campaign work are quoted. The live brand is scouttalent.com, not a separate.com.au product.

What we noted

Essentials caps at 3 active roles
Enterprise and campaigns are quotes
US-first job boards are not the core

Not the right fit for

US teams that need a US-first job board stack
High-volume employers who will blow the 3-role cap

Worth keeping in mind: Flat software fee with no per-user charge, plus campaign services that include 12 months of Essentials.

SmartRecruiters

$14,995 API

Why it comes up: Global TA platform if Australia is only one country.

Stands out: A marketplace of job boards plus CRM inside one enterprise suite.

Watch out: Five figures is the floor, the vendor does not say what period $14,995 covers, and SAP now owns the company, so licensing may shift.

Best for

Global in-house talent teams
Teams that buy job-board marketplace access with the ATS
Enterprises running hiring programmes across countries

Workable

$299/mo 15 day free trial MCP API

Why it comes up: Self-serve ATS if you want a US-dollar public card.

Stands out: A hosted MCP at mcp.workable.com, with sourcing and assessments inside the ATS.

Watch out: Texting and video interviews are add-ons on the entry plan rather than included.

Best for

Mid-market in-house talent teams
Teams that want sourcing inside the ATS
Desks connecting Claude or ChatGPT via MCP
