SendScout
AI recruiter in Slack that sources from your own LinkedIn, voice-screens candidates and books the ones you approve, from $224/mo.
From $224/mo 7-day free trial
Bottom line
An AI recruiter that lives in Slack: it messages candidates from your own LinkedIn, voice-screens the ones who reply and books the people you approve. Pro is $224/mo billed annually ($249 monthly) with unlimited roles, and a 7-day trial needs no card.
Stands out for: It runs the whole loop, not one step: sourcing outreach from your own LinkedIn, the screening interview, the scorecard and the booking, all reported in Slack. You make one decision per candidate, and a flat fee replaces per-seat or per-hire pricing.
Watch out for: Its terms bar recruitment agencies, staffing firms and headhunters from sourcing for clients unless Send Scout approves them in writing under separate recruiter terms. The terms also make you accept the risk that LinkedIn restricts or closes the account Scout operates. It is a young product with one published customer testimonial.
Overview
SendScout, sold as Scout, is an AI recruiter from Send Scout, Inc. in San Francisco. It lives in Slack: you drop in a job description or careers-page link, Scout pulls out the must-haves, location and salary, and drafts a six-question screening interview you can take yourself before approving.
Once you connect LinkedIn, Scout sends connection requests and messages from your own account, in your voice and sign-off, inside daily limits and working hours you set. Interested candidates get a roughly 15-minute voice interview in the browser, graded into a scorecard with a verdict, strengths and concerns. Anything it cannot answer, such as salary, is handed to you in Slack, and every message is logged word for word.
Nothing reaches a candidate's calendar until you press Make an intro; Scout then sends your booking link. A daily 8 AM digest and instant pings for strong candidates arrive in your hiring channel. Pro is $224/mo billed annually ($2,690 a year) or $249 monthly, with unlimited roles, hires and team members. Pro Plus adds a 150M-profile vetted network for a 10% fee on first-year salary, charged only on hires from that network.
