Reach candidates on six channels, not just email.

Passive candidates ignore a single channel. You send the email, the cadence runs its Day 3 and Day 7 follow-ups, and the best people — already employed — never reply. Email reply rates keep sliding, so a tool that finds a billion profiles but only emails them is strong at the find and thin at the reach.

For an agency, per-seat pricing with a seat minimum compounds it: you pay for licenses whether or not a recruiter is on a live req. What decides a switch is rarely index size — it is how many ways you can actually reach the candidate you found.

Reply-rate trends reflect widely reported market conditions; verify against your own channel data.

SeekOut is a mature, live platform, and it is genuinely strong at the work it was built for. As of June 2026, seekout.com positions it as an agentic AI recruiting platform with deep technical and diversity search — finding candidates by signals like GitHub activity, patents, security clearances, and healthcare credentials — across an index of more than a billion profiles. That depth is among the strongest available, and it draws on a larger database than MartyHR's 500M.

SeekOut also does ATS rediscovery, offers a managed-service option (SeekOut Spot), and carries a G2 rating of about 4.5 across roughly 750 reviews (g2.com, as of June 2026). If deep technical or diversity search is central to your hiring, SeekOut is a strong choice, and we will say so.

SeekOut's outreach is email-only on a linear, time-based cadence; its product materials do not document sending InMail on your behalf, and we found no published support for SMS, WhatsApp, Telegram, or voice (seekout.com, as of June 2026). MartyHR runs six channels with conditional, branching sequences, so a candidate who does not reply on one channel is reached on another automatically.

Three more reasons agencies and EU teams are joining the list:

• Billed per connected account, not per seat. SeekOut prices per seat with a 3-seat minimum and credit caps; MartyHR bills per connected account, which lines up with how agencies staff and bill work.
• Your network and HRIS in the same query. MartyHR searches your team's first-degree network and your HRIS (e.g. BambooHR) alongside your ATS; we found no published equivalent in SeekOut.
• A score you can read. MartyHR marks every criterion found, potential, or no evidence and rolls it into a 0–100 fit score you can open. (Pre-launch, designed to spec.)

Choose SeekOut if you are an enterprise team that needs to buy and deploy today, if deep technical or diversity search is central to your hiring (GitHub, patents, clearances, healthcare), if you want the largest profile index, or if a long G2 track record is part of how you de-risk a purchase. SeekOut is the more proven product for that profile, and we will gladly point you there.

Choose MartyHR if you run a recruiting agency or a lean in-house TA team, your candidates reply better on channels beyond email, you want billing tied to connected accounts rather than per-seat licenses, or your hiring is concentrated in EU, CEE, and DACH markets. Join the launch list and early joiners lock in design-partner pricing and a direct line on the roadmap.
