Where they pull apart

SeekOut

Stands out: Diversity and internal-mobility filters on a very large people graph, plus MCP.

Watch out: AI screening is a paid add-on rather than included.

Not the right fit for

  • Small desks that need a $50 Chrome finder
  • Agencies that want a cheap ATS

Vamo Talent

Stands out: It ranks engineers on what they have actually built on GitHub and ties that to their LinkedIn career, so the shortlist comes with a reason for each person rather than a keyword match.

Watch out: No prices are published, so budget from a sales conversation. It only sees public GitHub work, and the outreach response-rate figures are the vendor's own.

Not the right fit for

  • Non-technical hiring
  • Engineers whose work sits in private repos
  • Buyers who need a published monthly price
