StaffingRadar vs Scout

Same facts, side by side: starting price, free tier, MCP, API and what each one is actually built for.

Starting price

StaffingRadar

$99/mo 14 day free trial

Business development lead feed for recruiters and staffing agencies: companies where someone just left a role you place, usually before a job ad, with who to contact and their email and phone. Plans run from $99 a month for 40 reveals, with 10 free reveals over 14 days.

Where StaffingRadar fits

  • Staffing agencies doing business development on new vacancies
  • Executive search firms tracking leadership departures
  • Recruiters who want to call before a job ad is posted
  • Teams on HubSpot or Microsoft Dynamics 365

Scout

Quote-based

Scout is a hands-off business development service for recruiting firms. You send a resume, and it finds open roles that candidate fits, identifies the hiring manager, scores the match and sends personalised outreach, or just delivers the matches as a daily data feed. It is sold by quote on candidate volume, with a free data sample and demo call first.

Where Scout fits

  • Recruiting firms with candidates on the bench and no time for business development
  • Agency owners who want new clients to come from placements-led outreach
  • Firms that want matched jobs and decision-maker contacts as a data feed
  • Recruiters who want outreach handled without learning another dashboard

Where they pull apart

StaffingRadar

Stands out: It surfaces the opening before it is advertised: a departure in a role you fill, dated, with the person's tenure and new employer and whether a job ad exists yet. Sales Navigator only flags moves by people you already saved, while this works across companies you have never looked at, and wrong reveals are credited back.

Watch out: A departure is a reason to call, not a confirmed vacancy, since some companies reorganise instead of replacing. Data comes from public LinkedIn profiles, so a move often shows a few weeks late, and role and country coverage varies; the examples on the site are Norwegian companies, so check your market is covered during the free trial.

Not the right fit for

  • Teams that only want confirmed, advertised vacancies
  • Hourly or high-volume frontline staffing
  • Recruiters in markets the data does not cover yet

Scout

Stands out: It leads with a candidate, not a pitch. Each message offers a specific person for a role the company has just posted, which the vendor says gets about 10 times the response of generic outreach. There is nothing to operate: you share a resume, replies reach your inbox, and firms that prefer to send their own messages can take only the matched jobs and contacts.

Watch out: There is no published price and no free trial, only a free data sample and a demo call. It is a service rather than a self-serve tool, so you cannot see the contact data or sending setup before talking to the team. Results and customer counts on the site are the vendor's own claims, there are no independent reviews yet, and there is no public API or MCP server.

Not the right fit for

  • In-house talent teams sourcing candidates
  • Buyers who want a self-serve tool with published pricing
  • Teams that want to see independent reviews before committing
