Mainder
AI recruiting agents that search 1B+ profiles from a plain-language brief, message candidates on LinkedIn, email and WhatsApp, and score them, with an ATS included.
From €39/user/mo Free tier API
Bottom line
AI recruiting agents with an ATS and talent CRM built in: describe a role in plain language and Mainder searches more than a billion profiles, writes to candidates on LinkedIn, email and WhatsApp, and scores each one with a written reason. Built in Spain for agencies and in-house teams in Europe and Latin America. The free plan never expires; paid plans run €39 to €169/user/mo billed annually, with prices in euros only.
Stands out for: The ATS and multiposting to 5,000+ job boards come with every paid plan, so sourcing agents, outreach and the pipeline that holds the results sit in one product. AI Hunt stays attached to a job and keeps adding scored candidates around the clock, searching GitHub, Stack Overflow and Dribbble as well as LinkedIn.
Watch out for: Prices are euro only and exclude VAT, and searches, AI Hunts and enrichments are capped per user each month. Paid plans have no trial, AI Hunt and contact enrichment start at Core (€119/user/mo annual), and multichannel outreach is a €20/user add-on on Pro and only included at Enterprise. AI interviews run in English, Spanish and Portuguese only, support works European hours, and there are no outside reviews yet.
Overview
Mainder builds AI recruiting agents: you describe the person you need the way you would brief a colleague, and the agents find candidates, write to them and score the fit. It began in 2023 as a ChatGPT bot for job descriptions built by Samuel Sala, a recruiter who had worked at Hays, Glovo and Agicap, became a full platform in 2024, and says more than 300 recruiting teams in 14 countries now use it. The team works from Spain, Chile, Argentina and Brazil, and the company is ISO 27001:2022 certified.
Sourcing runs on one engine in two modes. People Finder takes a plain-language brief and returns profiles ranked by fit, each with a score and the reason for it, drawn from a pool the vendor puts at more than a billion profiles plus your own database. AI Hunt attaches to a job and keeps searching around the clock across LinkedIn, GitHub, Stack Overflow and Dribbble, adding matching candidates to that job's pipeline, and contact enrichment returns verified details.
Outreach sequences run across LinkedIn, email and WhatsApp in one flow, switch channel when a candidate does not reply, stop as soon as they do, and put every reply in one inbox, with no LinkedIn Recruiter licence needed according to the vendor. AI interviews go out by video or chat with questions generated from the job, and each comes back with a transcript and a summary of strengths, red flags and a recommendation.
Around that sits an ATS and talent CRM with positions, candidates, clients, leads and contracts, plus multiposting to more than 5,000 job boards and a careers site. Integrations cover Gmail, Outlook, Slack and Zapier, with a documented API and webhooks for HR systems; API and SSO are listed on the Enterprise plan.
The free plan needs no card, never expires and includes a monthly allowance of People Finder searches. Billed annually, Starter is €39/user/mo for up to 3 users, Core €119 adds advanced search models, AI Hunt and enrichment, Pro €169 from 2 users adds more searches and 25 interview recordings, and Enterprise starts at €219 from 3 users with outreach, API and SSO. Month to month the same plans are €51, €159, €229 and €299, all excluding VAT.
