Bottom line

AI recruiting platform on a 1B+ profile talent graph: intelligent search, AI scorecards, AI screening and drafted outreach, with diversity and internal-mobility filters. Recruit Core starts at $149/mo with a 14-day trial, no card.

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

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

Overview

SeekOut is an AI recruiting platform for enterprise talent teams. Intelligent search goes beyond keywords across 1B+ external profiles and your own ATS, AI scorecards evaluate candidates against a custom Ideal Candidate Profile rubric, and an AI screener runs video interviews and returns ranked shortlists with the reasoning tied to your criteria rather than a single opaque score.

Outreach is drafted per candidate by AI, talent rediscovery surfaces silver medalists and past applicants already in the ATS, and internal mobility sits next to external search so you can see who is already inside before you post. SeekOut MCP puts fourteen recruiting workflows inside Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini or Copilot, included with a Recruit licence at no additional cost.

Teams pick SeekOut when coverage and filters matter more than a cheap extension. Recruit Core is $149/mo with a 14-day trial and no card required, and a $179 tier sits above it. A Chrome extension is included.
