SeekOut has the largest stated profile pool on this list, at more than 1B candidate profiles, and it adds specialist pools for security-cleared and healthcare talent that general sourcing tools do not highlight. The self-serve Sourcing Core plan costs $149 per month paid annually upfront, or $179 billed monthly, and includes unlimited search, AI search, 30+ filters, 500 contact credits and 1,000 exports a month, plus AI multi-step email campaigns. A separate applicant evaluation product screens inbound applicants with AI and flags signs of fraud. SeekOut also offers an MCP server so recruiters can query its profiles from Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini. The limits show up when a team grows: ATS rediscovery, advanced diversity filters, SSO and dedicated support all sit on custom-priced plans, so the $149 entry price applies to a single sourcer.
