xhuman
AI agent that sources passive candidates, finds client leads and works your own network.
From $99/mo 7-day free trial MCP server
Bottom line
People-search agent for search firms: describe the mandate in a sentence, xhuman searches the open web and your own network, shows the evidence behind every match, then drafts and paces the outreach from your own mailbox. Pro is $99/mo with a 7-day free trial, and credits pay for matches, contact reveals and live lookups.
Stands out for: Every match opens to show why it matched, tracing each criterion back to the talk, post or profile the claim came from, and saying so when the evidence is not strong enough rather than filling the gap. It also reads your own side: connect a mailbox and your LinkedIn network and it can tell you who you already know inside a target account, which a database-first sourcing tool cannot do.
Watch out for: The product is in private beta and everything runs on credits that reset at the start of each calendar month in UTC, not on your billing date, and do not roll over, so a heavy search week can outrun the plan. The 7-day trial is Pro only, takes a card up front and grants 2,500 of the 11,000 monthly credits; Max and Ultra bill from day one. The vendor describes SOC 2 as a programme on its Trust Center rather than a finished report.
Overview
xhuman is an AI agent that works your professional network. You describe the person you need in plain language rather than filling in filters, and it turns that into criteria it can search against across the open web, several data sources and its own network.
Each match is verified against the underlying evidence. Opening one shows why the person fits, the evidence behind each claim and where it came from.
Once you pick someone, xhuman drafts the outreach from what it knows about them and about you. It sends on their clock, inside working hours, never twice, and follows up until there is a reply. Nothing reaches a real person without your approval.
For a search firm the same engine covers three jobs. The first is passive candidates, found by what they have actually done rather than the title they hold, which is what the vendor's own executive-search case study describes.
The second is business development: decision-makers and warm paths into the accounts you want to bill. The third is your own database. Because it connects to your mailbox, calendar and LinkedIn network, it surfaces the people already in your orbit, including placements you made and threads that went quiet, and raises them when someone changes job, raises money or starts hiring.
Plans are Pro at $99/mo, Max at $200/mo and Ultra at $449/mo, with a quoted Teams plan for five or more people. Credits pay for the actions that cost money, and reading what you already have is free.
Who it's for
Best for
- Search consultants working mandates where job titles do not identify the right people
- Agency owners who want candidate search and client business development out of the same tool
- Recruiters reactivating past placements and dormant contacts already in their network
- Individual billers whose real asset is a personal network rather than a database seat
Not ideal for
- Agencies that need a shared pipeline, ownership rules and team reporting
- Buyers who want a predictable per-seat cost rather than credit consumption
- Anyone who needs a completed SOC 2 report and general availability today
