Sense
High-volume talent CRM and texting.
Quote-based pricing API
Bottom line
High-volume talent CRM built around texting: nurture, SMS and candidate rediscovery. Quote-based.
Stands out for: SMS as the primary channel rather than an afterthought bolted onto email.
Watch out for: No published price, and it is the wrong shape for executive or professional search.
Overview
Sense is a high-volume talent CRM built around texting. Nurture campaigns, SMS conversations and candidate rediscovery sit in one product, aimed at the hourly and enterprise end of hiring. There is a developer API but no MCP.
Teams pick it when candidates will answer a text and ignore an email entirely. Pricing is quoted rather than published.
