- SeekOut MCP for Claude, ChatGPT and Copilot
SeekOut remains a strong sourcing tool for technical and specialist hiring, with a huge profile database, specialist talent pools and new AI screening and agent features, plus MCP access from Claude and ChatGPT. The self-serve plan is reasonably priced at $149 a month billed annually, but the fuller platform is quoted and Vendr data suggests typical contracts around $20,000 a year. The company has been through layoffs and an unclear leadership change in 2026. Worth a 14-day trial for recruiting teams hiring engineers; compare with LinkedIn Recruiter on your own searches.
What we found
SeekOut is AI recruiting software for finding and engaging candidates. Its sourcing product, formerly called Recruit, searches more than a billion candidate profiles with AI search and more than 30 filters, including specialist pools such as GitHub developers and academic researchers, finds contact details and runs multi-step outreach campaigns from the recruiter's own email. Higher plans add rediscovery of past applicants in a company's applicant-tracking system, diversity insights and market intelligence, and the Full Recruiting Funnel plan adds inbound evaluation and AI screening against job-specific rubrics, with new agentic workflows — agents that create rubrics, find candidates and write outreach. SeekOut MCP lets recruiters use SeekOut inside Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini and Amazon Quick. It integrates with Greenhouse, Lever, Workday, iCIMS and SuccessFactors and holds SOC 2 Type II certification. The Spot brand it launched for AI-assisted sourcing no longer appears on its site.
SeekOut is run by ZipStorm, Inc. and was founded in Bellevue, Washington, in 2017. It has raised more than $189 million, including a $115 million Series C led by Tiger Global and Madrona in early 2022 at a reported $1.2 billion valuation, and it cut staff in 2023 and 2024. It says it has more than 750 customers, with logos including Microsoft, Cisco, Canva and Atlassian. Its leadership is unclear: a new chief executive was announced in April 2026, but its about page now lists co-founder Aravind Bala as chief executive.
Sourcing Core, the self-serve plan, costs $149 a month paid annually, or $179 month to month, with unlimited search, 500 contact credits and 1,000 exports a month, and three seats included. Other plans are priced per seat on annual contracts. There is no free plan, only a 14-day trial without a credit card. Procurement data on Vendr shows a median contract of about $20,000 a year.
G2 rates SeekOut 4.5 from 797 reviews. It suits in-house recruiting teams hiring technical and specialist roles.
