An ATS with sourcing built in, instead of SeekOut
SeekOut is an AI talent search platform for sourcers. It does not run your hiring pipeline. Zliptal combines sourcing, applicant scoring, your pipeline and a careers site in one product.
- Sourcing plus an ATS

Zliptal vs SeekOut: your questions
Why teams choose Zliptal over SeekOut, and when they should not.
SeekOut is a sourcing platform, so you pair it with an ATS and pay for both. Zliptal is the ATS, the job board, the careers site and, on Max, the sourcing tool, at $39 or $59 a month.
SeekOut Sourcing Core is $149 a month billed annually for 3 seats with monthly contact and export limits, and the plans that add ATS integration and AI screening are custom and annual. Zliptal Pro is $39/month and Max is $59/month, with unlimited team members.
Both are quick to start. With SeekOut you then need an ATS and a way to connect them. With Zliptal, anyone you source can become a candidate in the same pipeline.
Yes. SeekOut finds and engages people; it is not where you manage jobs, applications and offers. Zliptal includes both the ATS and sourcing on the Max plan.
Stay with SeekOut if you are a dedicated sourcing team that needs its depth, market intelligence and ATS rediscovery at scale. Zliptal's TalentGPT suits smaller, role-by-role sourcing.
Yes. There is no self-serve import yet, so the simplest path is to start new roles in Zliptal and let SeekOut finish the roles already in progress. Email us and we will help you get set up.
