hireEZ vs SeekOut

hireEZ

hireEZ is a strong buy for a recruiting organisation that lives in an ATS and wants outbound sourcing, applicant review and scheduling automated on top of it without replacing anything; the Fortune 500 logos and the 40+ ATS connectors are the proof points. The economics are enterprise: $494 a month is the solo floor, and team pricing is bespoke after a month-long pilot. A startup hiring a few roles will get more from LinkedIn Recruiter or a cheaper sourcing extension.

Pros

• +Sourcing across 1B+ profiles and 45+ platforms with contact enrichment and sequences
• +EZ Agent keeps a human approval on sourcing, screening and scheduling actions
• +40+ native ATS integrations and a CRM that resurfaces past applicants
• +Career sites, job distribution and hiring analytics in the same platform
• +7-day free trial on the solo tier

Cons

• −Solo tier at $494 per month is among the highest entry prices in the category
• −Team pricing is quote-only and tied to a four-week verification period
• −No public API found on the site; integration runs through ATS connectors
• −Legal entity and headquarters are not stated on the site; third-party records point to Mountain View, California

SeekOut

SeekOut earns its place on a corporate recruiting team's desk, not a small agency's: the ATS rediscovery and the clearance and healthcare filters solve problems that only show up at volume, and the customer list reads like the Fortune 500. The new self-serve Core tier at $149 a month lowers the door for a three-recruiter team, but everything that makes it distinctive — ATS sync, screening, agentic workflows — still sits behind a sales call. Teams that live in LinkedIn Recruiter and hire a few roles a quarter will not get their money back.

Pros

• +One query covers external profiles and the company's own ATS, including silver medalists
• +Inferred filters for clearance, healthcare licences and skills go beyond title matching
• +Self-serve Core tier with a 14-day trial and no card, unusual for enterprise recruiting software
• +MCP server puts search into Copilot, ChatGPT and Claude under the signed-in user's permissions
• +Integrations with Workday, Greenhouse, iCIMS and Lever are bidirectional

Cons

• −ATS integration and applicant screening are quote-only, annual-billing tiers
• −Contact credits and exports are capped per month on Core (500 and 1,000)
• −No public API found; the integration story is ATS connectors and MCP
• −Healthcare search is excluded from the Core plan
